This resort is beautiful but unfortunately the service is NOT. I Stayed here for 4 days . They don’t do house keeping unless you ask and when I asked , the my said they are short staffed . That shouldn’t be the guests problem if the resort does not have enough workers to give five star services . Everything else was really nice.
