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 mixed experience at the hotel. While the pool area was a highlight with sand and live fish, the hotel itself feels dated and the service didn't match the five-star standard I expected. Unfortunately, there were some cleanliness issues that left a bad impression. Overall, I don't think I'll return after this visit.

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.
