Way too many kids if you're coming here childless! Was a bit surprised off holiday cycle including European outside of their holidays. And the kids ran wild in the main restaurant and pool area. We spent the 1st afternoon at pool and that was it because of how bad it was but beach was much more relaxing. Staff was mostly great but weird things happened like things not being brought after multiple requests, dishes missing large components or being completely different than the menu. Our room was fabulous. Food was fine not wow overall. Not really an LHW caliber hotel despite being a member.
