The food was amazing with tasty dishes every day of my stay. I found a variety of cooked food , fruits and desserts. Staff reloaded dishes quickly. There were enough sunbeds available, also many trees provided great shade.

The smell in the reception area was not good , it smelled like a dirty mop head.

Excellent Beachfront All-Inclusive Experience

great value available drinks

The all-inclusive package was indeed a great value. A variety of drinks, including wine and beer, was available, which i did not know until arrival. It saved me from needing to search for places to eat (a great bonus, actually).

Upon arrival, i found three shards of glass in my room. Tens of tiny pieces were across the carpet, this i didn't like at all. The walls were dirty, and the valance sheets on the bed were also filthy at the edges. I think the floor was never cleaned .

the hotel needs some updates as it felt a bit dated.
