8/10 Good
"The resort was beautiful and staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved that there are a lot of options for meals near the pool/beach and they had different activities on the daily basis. It is a very romantic and relaxing hotel with lots of things to do. During our stay they had a fire night show, painting activities by the pool, and my favorite, casino night in the lobby. The spa is a must! The only 2 things I did not like was that the air conditioning in our room was not working properly. We had to ask for a fan to sleep because the room felt warm. The WiFi also had a bit of issues on and off throughout the stay."
