awful drinks little atmosphere
The hotel bungalows were clean with basic amenities. Food is fresh with lots of varieties drinks. The pools are clean.
The inclusive drinks were awful. Paper cups were used and it tasted watered down. It was difficult to even differentiate drinks. The entertainment had theatre shows for 45 minutes and then a little music at the pool bar. The atmosphere was very little.

Great Stay, Friendly Staff

awesome team varied food clean pool holiday fun
The animation team was awesome, especially Martina, Raul, and Sandro. The food selection was varied, with American dishes. The swimming pool was clean and well kept. We had a great time there. The evening entertainment, especially the shows, added to the holiday fun.
The all-inclusive drink quality was a little inconsistent, sometimes the mixers tasted like syrup, and drinks were served in paper cups. This was a slight inconvenience.
