Perfect girls trip
Pros:

ThI property offers a shuttle bus to take you to the other resorts and also wherever you want within a distance. This is great without driving any where near by.

Leider nicht das, was wir erwartet hatten.
Pros:

Kostenlose Parkplätze, die Suite war schön gross und es gab eine Mikrowelle und Geschirr, sowie Spülbecken. Anlage war ok. Pool ganz nett etwas langweilig, keine Musik, und kaum Schatten.

Cons:

Klimaanlage war sehr laut und erzeugte viel Wind in der Wohnung. Direkt vor der Dusche z.b. Mussten sie oft deswegen ausschalten.
Bett war sehr schaukelig. Wenn mein Mann sich umgedreht hat, dachte ich, ich schlaf auf nem Paddelboot.
Im Pool gab es ein ungesichertes Ansaugrohr. Es hat mich am Rücken schmerzhaft angesaugt. Was es mit einem Kinderarm macht, es war im Flachwasser, möchte ich mir nicht vorstellen. In der Lobby etc war es 29 Grad. Keine Ahnung warum man die Klima nicht runter stellt.
Das Wassertaxi habe ich leider nie gesehen, obwohl das und die Möglichkeit die anderen Resorts zu besuchen ein Grund für die Buchung war.
Am schlimmsten aber sind die unmöglichen Gäste. Es wird mit Strassenkleidung in den Pool gegangen, kläffender Hund am Pool, permanent schreiende Eltern bzw. Familienangehörige. Es macht eigentlich jeder was er will da.
Der Hammer war aber, dass alle Gäste sich 3 Nächte lang von einer Horde Kinder tyrannisieren lassen musste, weil die Eltern sich nicht im sie gekümmert haben. Die Kinder rannten und schrien bis 24 Uhr durch alle Flure und klopften an die Türen. Als sich in der 3.Nacht mehrere Gäste beschwerten, brauchte es 2 SMS vom Hotel und die Androhung von Konsequenz wenn die Kinder nicht beaufsichtigt werden, bis Ruhe war. Da war es auch wieder gegen 23 Uhr. Am nächsten Tag sind wir zum Glück abgereist.
Wir würden es nur aussserhalb der Ferien empfehlen.
Wir kommen allerdings nicht wieder.

Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

No security cameras. Some random guys were walking the hallways pulling the doorknobs to see if if the rooms were open and then we spotted them in the parking lot. That’s scary.

Overall, a lot of issues that we could not overlook.
Pros:

I liked the location of the property.

Cons:

WiFi did not work so throughout the entire stay we could not use our phones at the hotel or Netflix on the tv. Our room was poorly cleaned, and our bed was poorly made. I ordered my girlfriend a picnic basket that was supposed to come on the second day of our trip. It came on the first night and ruined the surprise for her. Staff did not make us aware of the water conditions by the shore/ did not make us away of the bacteria from previous storms that made it unsafe to swim in. Phones did not work in the room so we were not able to order room service or call the front desk in case we needed anything. The hotel itself was in poor condition inside of the hallways. At 10:45 am staff members were already knocking on the door to ask us to leave - check out is not until 11am. Many things were wrong with this stay unfortunately- for the price not worth it.
