Overall a nice hotel, but a few things could have been improved.
Pros:

The swimming pools were excellent, and the location was great.

Cons:

The birds pooping in our private pool! Our room looked beautiful, but the big tree outside meant there were many birds nesting in it & constantly pooping in our pool which meant we could never use it.

Buvo labai geras ir malonus laikas ačiū Fun Beach hotel. ❤️❤️
Pros:

Rami vieta , didele teritorija , personalas malonus , viskas svaru . Turejo atskira nameli su baseinu vandelis švarus , valomas anksti ryte kol dar neatsikele, kambariai taip pat valomi buvo viskas labai gerai . Ateina kiekvieną vakara is darbuotojų ispurksti nuo muskitu tai puiku. Nepagailekite kelių doleriu uz isvalyma kambario darbuotojams , ne delto kad jie praso, jie nepraso nieką , o tiesiog kad vertinate ju darbą . ❤️🫶
Rekomenduoju tikrai 100%

Cons:

Minusas nebuvo mazo saldituvo kad būtų galima atsigert salto vandenuko , bet tik tiek .

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Every corner of the resort was very clean.
Pros:

I like the friendliness of the staff and the ease of getting a driver into town and arranging the excursions.

Cons:

They should get a waffle maker and add more options to breakfast. At first I was surprised there wasn't any phones to the reception desk or no TV's but that added to the enjoyment of relaxing and staying outdoors.

Pros:

die Anlage war sehr schön. Es hat meine Erwartungen getroffen. Das Zimmer war gemütlich und sauber. Jeden Tag neu Handtücher und alle 2 Tage neue Bettwäsche. Unser Zimmer war in der hintere Garden, wo ich es persönlich auch sehr gut fand.( ruhig und angenehm, nicht so viel Lärm). Sehr viele Palmen und Pflanzen was die Anlage besonders macht. Wir haben Halbpension gebucht, was sehr angenehm, A la Carte Auswahl super. Das Essen war jeden Tag Wechselreich, man konnte sich Special of the Day oder A la Carte bestellen.

Cons:

Beim Hauptrestaurant ist ab und zu mal eine Ratte vorbei gelaufen. Schrecklich.
