Reviews
The room itself was clean,but mattress was uncomfortable.
*Disappointing Dining Experience
The dish I ordered, was not cooked and lacked flavor. The presentation was also subpar.
The service was slow, and our server seemed overwhelmed.No options for vegetarian.
For the prices they're charging, I expect better quality and service. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this resort.
*Rating:* 1/5
Cons: expensive for the quality, dinner was pricey and just okay, DJ blared music until 11pm, bed is firm and only one sheet
