Our stay fell a bit short of expectations regarding relaxation and enjoyment at this hotel. While the food was decent and the room was clean, the inadequate pool space and the situation at the beach really put a damper on things. We faced unexpected hassles trying to secure pools and beach access, which felt unfair for an all-inclusive deal. Overall, a mixed experience that leaves me uncertain about recommending this place.
