I had a mixed experience at this resort. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating, and the pools were lovely, but the food left much to be desired and my room faced a noisy street rather than the serene garden I expected. While the location was great with easy beach access, I felt the dining options did not meet my expectations for a 5-star property.
