I had a decent stay overall, with some excellent highlights like the beautiful beach access and the spacious pool areas. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit cramped for our group size, and there's definitely a need for some updates to enhance the experience. The service was generally prompt, which helped us enjoy our vacation despite these drawbacks.
