Pros:

Loved the facilities, especially the indoor pool which we used with our kids after 7pm, it was relaxing and enjoyable. The convenience of the golf cart to get around was great, and general hospitality . We enjoyed the breakfast as well. The property is very well maintained.

Cons:

Perhaps a separate alcohol section, or bar, with kitchen menu catering more separate to allow for more halaal options. While there are vegetarian and seafood options, if kitchens are separate for preparation, there is less concern and Muslims would feel more comfortable to enjoy breakfast, lunch & dinner.
