10/10 Excellent

"The whole resort was spotless and very well kept. The staff were fantastic. The food was excellent. And the drinks were the absolute best. Great entertainment, but the best I think were the activity people. They kept us busy and laughing. Great time for young and old."

"It was a great vacation. Food is ok, not too big choice but you definitely will be not hungry, not as much animation. But beach is excellent. Not too much people. "
