    Don’t believe the reviews

    I’m confused as to the 4+ star reviews for this resort. While it was quaint, it was far from what’s expected from a 4* resort. We arrived early and had to wait in a long line to check in just to be told we had to come back to wait in another long line to get our room. Room was modest, nothing special but nothing amazing. The safe required an actual lock, which if you lost cost $50USD. Shower water was cold on some days. Pool was always full of bird poo. I actually had to get the pool net to scoop out the poo because staff didn’t do it. Beach is nice and long, perfect for walks but we were there at Easter and it was closed for 2 days. No one was allowed to swim due to the Holy Week and fear of drownings. This however was beyond the resort’s control as everywhere along the shore was patrolled. But Because the resort is so small this was an issue. Food was not even close to amazing or that good. Buffet hardly had anything good to eat. We went to the restaurants but you could only reserve on the Sunday and we arrived on Friday morning, which means we couldn’t get the restaurant until Monday. And because we were a large group (20) we could only reserve at the late service at 8:30 even if we tried to break up the group. Italian restaurant wasn’t the best but ocean side was ok. Staff were not the nicest. Unless you’re a regular they don’t care about you. We had reserved for the 8:30 dinner and arrived early and asked if we could sit down at the table that was ready for us. They told us no, we’re expecting a large group. We told them we WERE the large group but they said no, they had to set up the rest of the restaurant only for us to sit down with 2 other tables. Friends booked the VIP and weren’t allowed to take drinks outside the lounge, which means no drinking by the pool. Don’t waste your money. Entertainment was ok, but nothing special. One activity an afternoon. Night entertainment I was expecting to be good but it was more games and magic shows. The best things was the silent disco. So fun! But we didn’t have a beach party. Reviews on kids club was good but our experience wasn’t. The person at the kids club seemed like she didn’t like kids. It’s not a place to drop off your kids. Nothing planned for them to do (except a small activity at Easter ) so none of the kids went. Overall we had fun cuz we were 20 ppl but I wouldn’t go back to this resort and can’t imagine why anyone would. If you travel a lot, go somewhere else. If you don’t travel a lot…go somewhere else.
