Beautiful tropical paradise. Staff were so friendly and helpful

Only complaint was our room was originally very close to the party area and music was loud late at night but we asked to move rooms and they happily accommodated our request so the issue was resolved :)

Great vibes, pools, beaches and staff 10/10
Pros:

Staff were friendly, overall vibe and entertainment was great, pools and beaches were amazing

Cons:

More variety of vegan and vegetarian options needed. Lentil Dahl 7 days in a row gets boring.
Also my partner said it would be great to see yogurt and more cheese options at breakfast.
