9.6/10 Exceptional! (99 reviews)

Everything was absolutely perfect!! If I have to say something relating to constructive criticism. I would say that it would be wonderful if there was some relaxing music at the pool. Too quiet.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (357 reviews)

The food here was very overpriced for the mediocre quality, especially breakfast. The sargassum on the beach was creating an unpleasant odor. I understand that it is impossible to control nature however if there would have been minimal effort by staff a lot of it could have been cleaned up and the beach could have been enjoyable. The service received while at the beach was poor. In sum I don’t think I would stay here again.
