Honest review

What could be better

  • The resort needs to significantly improve its staff's attitude and warmth, as multiple reviews describe them as rude, unwelcoming, and dismissive, which falls short of a luxury hotel standard.
  • The hotel's business model appears to prioritize profit over guest comfort, particularly concerning the pool area, where a severe lack of free chairs and umbrellas forces guests to rent expensive cabanas, making them feel exploited.
  • There are operational issues that need to be addressed, such as slow service for coffee and towels, and a lack of cleanliness and maintenance in casual dining areas and pool slides.
