Pros:

The pool area is beautiful! It has an outdoor eating area that is open in the afternoon for food and drinks. We wish we could have sat outside more, but our activities kept us busy.The tropical feeling reception area is inviting. There were covered walkways throughout the facility, which were perfect because we experienced some sprinklesl every day we were there. They offered a breakfast buffet every morning.

Cons:

Because of the rain, the pool chairs were always wet, and they were hard as a rock and uncomfortable to sit on for very long.

Tolles Hotel, aber schlechtes WLAN
Pros:

Wir waren nur zwei Nächte da, aber es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Toller Pool, bis 21h geöffnet. Wir hatten ein sehr großes Zimmer. Das Badezimmer war top! Mit großer ebenerdiger Dusche.

Cons:

Das WLAN hat nur am ersten Tag (Donnerstag) funktioniert. Nachdem es am Freitag dann voll wurde, ging nichts mehr. Es war einfach nicht auf eine große Anzahl an Gästen eingestellt.

Wonderful relaxed stay in excellent facilities
Pros:

All the facilities were maintained in a high standard

Cons:

My only negative is that the exhaust fan and filter in my bathroom seems to be in need of a clean to allow them to operate efficiently.

It is a great resort for family with the amenities available
Pros:

My daughter rate the place 7 out of 5 because of the pool, the buffet breakfast and Flaming Flamingo.

Cons:

I can hear conversations outside our room, sometimes middle of the night. I was expecting adjoining room, but I don't think it was available.
