I am not sure if we received VIP. perks but the property, food, staff, and room were awesome. It was like a little oasis in a bustling but laid back area. The restaurant, Gigi’s, was lovely and the staff were so friendly. The food options were flavourful and the entertainment made it extra special. Great staff in reception and housekeeping, too. Beautiful pool area.

Place is boring, food is average at best, during the day there's nothing going on, the music at the beach club is HORRIBLE, trap music, rap, at the night is the same. Staff at the beach club is great; staff at the hotel not so much.

The stay was ok, but I forgot my wedding rings in the room and I’ve been trying to reach out to hotel for two days to inform about the courier that will come to pick my stuff up. They care about you only on the stage of booking. After, it’s impossible to get anything from them.
