The property that the resort was in was very well kept but as soon as you left the property it was not very clean , I know it was a third world country in a lot of respects but they could clean up a lot more around the resort

The staff was very courteous, smiling and greeting all the time. The amenities have lots of room for improvement, staff need to be better informed (many times the left hand don't know what the right hand is doing. The buffet is very confusing; the signs are misplaced (Sings say, meet and is pasta, sings say been and is fish) a little dangerous to people that don't eat certain products.
