Amazing Pool Experience

The lagoon pool was a highlight of my stay. It was beautiful and warm, with fish swimming around, creating a serene environment. I especially loved lounging by the pool, where I could even spot water dragons basking nearby. The overall ambiance made relaxing by the pool an lovely experience. I enjoyed every moment spent there.

Lovely Buffet Options

I was blown away by the extensive breakfast buffet offered at Citrique. There were so many delicious options to choose from, and the quality was excellent. The seafood buffet dinner was really good as well, with a variety of fresh options that left me wanting more. The dining experience truly elevated my time at the hotel.

Fun for the Kids

My children absolutely loved the fish feeding sessions every morning. It was a unique experience that they looked forward to during our stay. They also enjoyed their special bracelets that allowed them to get free icy poles at the pool bar, which made them feel extra special. It was heartwarming to see them so engaged and having fun!

Comfortable Luxurious Rooms

I stayed in a stunning room with a lagoon view that made every morning feel special. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, which ensured I had a restful night's sleep. The decor was stylish and well thought out, contributing to a sense of luxury throughout my stay. It truly felt like a home away from home.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was generally accommodating and attentive, and the dining experience was truly exceptional, especially at breakfast. However, the noise from my initial room was quite bothersome, and I encountered several issues with my room keys. Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects of my stay, there were definitely areas for improvement.

I had a mostly pleasant experience at this resort. While the room wasn't ready until 4 PM and I had a disappointing view, the pool area was fantastic and family-friendly. The service was quite good in the dining areas, but I felt the overall value for money was questionable given the high prices. Overall, it was a nice stay, but some improvements are definitely needed.
