Nicht noch einmal …
Pros:

Der Empfangsbereich des Hotels war sehr ansprechend.

Cons:

Leider war unser Aufenthalt sehr enttäuschend. Meiner Meinung nach entspricht das Hotel keineswegs einem 4 Sterne-Hotel! Unser Zimmer in der 4 Etage bot zwar eine gute Aussicht, das war es dann aber leider auch schon. Alles war sehr abgewohnt. Die Schrankschubladen konnte man nicht mal schließen. Die Klimaanlage war so laut, dass man sie über Nacht nicht anschalten konnte. Auch den Kühlschrank musste man abschalten, da die Lautstärke über Nacht nicht auszuhalten war. Im Bad gab es kein Fenster und keine Abluft. Sehr sehr schade!

Pros:

Everything was amazing about this resort. The staff members were all so nice, everything is full renovated, they also have little fun activities to do outside such as chess, mini golf, connect 4 , mega jenga, toss the bag and also has 3 pools. The restaurant/bar was as super modern and amazing. The room was so cozy, and my fav part was they have someone that can transport you for free in a goft cart, she was sooo nice and took us to the beach and took as back to the resort safely. I will def be back 10000/10
