Tökéletes szállás kiváló környezetben. A személyzet fantasztikus, nagyon kedvesek, mosolygósak. A szálláson 2 medence, a
Pros:

Minden tökéletes volt.

Cons:

Néha volt áramszünet, pole pole módon megoldották, de a szobában az első 3 nap után egyáltalán nem működött a wi-fi, azt nem tudták megoldani.

Szívesen ajáljuk másoknak is.
Pros:

Kedves, jól szervezett és rugalmas csapat gondoskodott a kényelmünkről és a szórakozásunkról.
A szállásadók -bár későbbre vártak bennünket a téves tájékoztatás miatt- azonnal orvosolták a problémát, egy frissítőnyi idő alatt elkészítették a szálláshelyünket.

Cons:

A Booking.com helytelenül küldte el a foglalási adatokat, egy nappal későbbi kezdettel. A szálláshellyel nem volt probléma

Go for the beach, staff and accommodations but be prepared for strict and stingy dining rules
Pros:

I recently stayed at Mambo Ocean Resort and had a very mixed experience. On the positive side, the infrastructure is great. The rooms have good AC, comfy beds, hot showers, and nice balconies. The beachfront access is perfect, and the staff are incredibly friendly and fun—they really made the stay better.

Cons:

​However, the food and beverage policies dragged the experience down.
​Breakfast: Okay, but standard (fruits, pastries, main dish on order).
​Dinner: Honestly disappointing. No buffet, and you are limited to choosing either a starter OR a dessert.
​Drinks: This was the worst part. Only water is free during dinner; charging for soda or juice feels cheap for a resort.
​Entertainment: The music felt like a random free Spotify shuffle.
​NYE 2025: They demanded an extra $100 USD for the New Year's party/buffet. If you declined, you couldn't even watch the show and were stuck with the limited dinner menu.
​Verdict: Go for the beach and the staff, but be prepared for strict and stingy dining rules.

Excelente opçao para descanso em família
Pros:

Resort em frente praia linda e excelente - principalmente se tiver crianças. Com a maré baixa se forma uma piscina de meio kilometro de aguas rasas e quentes. O hotel fica no meio da costa leste da ilha mas dispõe de um serviço de taxi muito eficiente para ir para qualquer outro ponto, inclusive para os transfers do aeroporto e passeios. Todos os funcionários são muito simpáticos e prestativos e isso inclui as duas gerentes, muito atenciosas. O hotel tem a parte da frente e estao ampliando a parte de trás; cada setor com sua piscina. Ficamos em uma casa na parte nova. Quarto muito espaçoso, duas camas muito confortáveis, ar condicionado funciona bem, vaso sanitário e chuveiros excelentes. Local silencioso (estavam em obras durante o dia, mas logo vao concluir as novas casas). Sistema de meia-pensao excelente para quem vai passar dias fora nos passeios como nós. Como o serviço é a la carte, os pratos sao feitos na hora. E todos os pratos que pedimos, no café da manha e na janta estavam excelentes!!! Piscinas sempre limpas, muito agradáveis.

Cons:

Problemas da ilha: quedas de luz frequentes ( o que desligava o ar condicionado e o bombeamento de água- mas em geral durava pouco tempo). Banheiro espaçoso mas pouco ventilado, talvez uma janela maior resolvesse. O wi-fi nao funciona longe da recepçao.
