Relaxing Getaway

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the lagoon day spa, where I indulged in a facial that was absolutely amazing and relaxing. The atmosphere was lovely, and it really provided a nice escape from the heat. Although there were a few challenges with my pedicure, the overall experience made it worth it. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I would definitely return for their spa services again.

Night of Delights

During my recent stay, I dined at the Vue restaurant for a heavenly seafood buffet dinner. The value was excellent at $39 per adult, and the unlimited post-mix soft drinks were a bonus. The food was delicious, though it would have been great to have more hot seafood options. I left feeling completely satisfied and would highly recommend this dining experience!

Fun with Friends

What a fantastic experience I had during my recent stay! We enjoyed the great pool area at the lagoon with a swim-up bar that made our time by the water even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was fun, especially with the DJ playing great tunes. It was the perfect place to unwind and relax with friends, making the whole experience nice!

Surprise Upgrade

Our accommodation exceeded expectations with a complimentary upgrade to a one-bedroom spa suite. The room was spacious, clean, and featured a luxurious spa that we loved! Although there were a few minor issues regarding communication about our picnic baskets, the overall experience left us impressed. I can't wait to return for our future anniversaries and special occasions!

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were generally clean and comfortable, the restaurant service during breakfast left much to be desired. The location is fantastic, right near the beach and local markets. However, the facilities were crowded on weekends, making it hard to relax by the pool. Overall, it was a decent stay but not quite the luxurious experience I was hoping for.

7.2/10

I recently enjoyed a two-night stay in a lagoon swim-up room, which was beautiful and had a stunning pool, although it could have been cleaner. The dining options were generally good, with highlights including a fantastic Italian restaurant, but there were quirks like a blocked view in the breakfast area. The staff overall did well, but there were some concerns with service at the lagoon bar. This resort, while showing signs of age, still feels like one of the best in the area. However, there are definitely areas they could improve on.

My visit to this resort revealed some ups and downs. While I was pleased with the comfortable rooms and the excellent service from the staff, I was quite disappointed by the cleanliness and the dining experiences. The great location near the beach was a major plus, and I appreciated the amenities available, but certain issues definitely impacted my overall satisfaction.

Rooms

Initially, the room I was given had a musty odor, forcing me to switch to another one. The second room was better, though it still had an unpleasant smell. The rooms contained all necessary facilities like air conditioning and a mini-bar, but I expected cleaner conditions.
