I had a great stay at the resort, enjoying clean and comfortable accommodations. The dining options were quite good, with some standout dishes, though a few meals could have been hotter. The service varied, with some friendly faces and others who seemed to lack enthusiasm. The pool areas were lovely, though the adult pool could get a bit rowdy in the afternoons.
