I would have given 5 stars if check in was more smooth . Was given the wrong room and slow service to resolve it . Otherwise everyone and everything else is great . The food was excellent minus taste of asia was ok . Didn’t get to try the Italian restaurant. The main restaurant is excellent . The drinks and bartenders are superb . The facility is awesome and the beach area . Will be back again . The shisha was average but it’s so nice to have shisha on the beach . Shoutout to Aloyce, best bartender .

Staff was fantastic. Food pretty good. But limited ability to reserve at “restaurants” drinks are poor quality and limited…e.g a margarita costs extra. They use small plastic bottle waters. So not super eco friendly. Also expect folks to get up early and claim a chair with a towel and not show up for hours. But the staff bent over backwards to be accommodating.
