I recently spent a week at this hotel and enjoyed my stay overall. The pools and slides were fantastic, making it a perfect family-friendly destination. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the dining options could use some variety. The staff were friendly, although communication could be tricky at times due to language barriers. Additionally, the beach access was beautiful, but the lack of shade made it uncomfortable during hot days.
