royalty-free tracks obscure music

the buffet was good, it had loads of options and variation (i especially liked the desserts).

i found the poolside music awful. it seemed the hotel chose not to pay for licensed music. they played a playlist of obscure royalty-free tracks.

Really good Hospitality and AMAZING Food

attentive staff amazing food cozy room

The staff was attentive and friendly. They constantly sought feedback to improve guest experiences. The food was AMAZING!!! There was daily variety and options for every palate. I loved the surprise upgrade to a suites on rocks, it was a cozy room. I enjoyed the amazing views from everywhere on the hotel.

The evening entertainment became repetitive. I think more variety would greatly enhance the overall experience. Background music also lacked a certain vibe compared to other resorts. It was a bit dull and could use an update.

musty odor old furniture

the food was good, there were plenty of choices at the buffet. it met my basic expectation.

the room i stayed in was not as good as advertised. i booked a prime room sea view, it was rather small, not as spacious as i imagined. the furniture seemed old, not the modern style i expected. a musty odor lingered and bothered me a lot .
