My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While I enjoyed the clean beach location and the quality of the food offered was admirable, the room situation was disappointing, and the service left much to be desired. It was decent for a budget stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a luxurious experience or a family getaway.

Rooms

5.0

The room we stayed in was meant to be 'deluxe,' but it felt more basic than anything, with spiders around, a very old TV, and dirty curtains. The bed was hard and the blankets were thin. They really need an update to match the pricing.

Service

5.0

The service was unfortunately quite rude, and I felt that the staff was unhelpful throughout my stay.

Location

The resort is located far from the main city, which made exploring quite challenging. If you are looking to roam around, be prepared to pay high transportation costs since there are no other options nearby.

Dining

The food at the restaurant next to the beach was pretty good and I enjoyed it. However, the breakfast left a lot to be desired with cheap options that included old bread and bad coffee.

The facilities could use some improvement, especially the cleanliness of the pool area. I noticed it wasn't very well maintained, which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location right beside the beach was definitely a highlight, and the parking availability was a bonus. The complimentary dinner buffet was good, but I was quite disappointed with the lunch buffet options. The room needed some updates, which took away from my overall comfort. The resort is spacious but feels a bit dated and could use some renovation to truly shine.

Rooms

The room was large, with decent furnishings, but not very modern. I had a balcony with a slant view of the beach, although it did overlook a walkway that had some foot traffic.

Although the pool was decent, the slow service and cleanliness could be better, which made certain aspects of the stay less ideal.

My experience at this resort was unfortunately quite disappointing. While the location is superb, right on the beach, and the views from the rooms are beautiful, the service and dining left much to be desired. The room facilities were basic, and the food quality was poor for the price. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, you might want to consider other options.
