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 staffamazing foodcozy roomrepetitive entertainment
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.
