The place was very clean and well maintained, which made for a comfortable stay. The room and common areas were spotless, and everything felt tidy and organised. The breakfast was decent, with a good selection to start the day. While it wasn’t anything extravagant, it was fresh, satisfying, and offered enough variety. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would happily stay here again.

We had a junior suit and was pleasantly surprised that we had two bathrooms. We had a wonderful time. The entire resort / hotel facilities were exceptional, restaurants were great, buffet breakfast had plenty of choices for everyone and was delicious and the staff were very helpful. Added bonus was you could use the facilities in any of the hotels within the group which were adjacent to each other. The walk down the promenade made it that much more enjoyable and the access was just outside our doors. Overall a great place to stay and would highly recommend .
