The property is beautiful and clean. Very close to the beach which was great for others in my party. I liked the hot tub and spent most of my time there. It would have been great if there were self-laundry services, if not on the resort then nearby. We took advantage of the most fascinating and unfortunately dirty excursions on offer. There were some staff that were very helpful and kind and a few that were indifferent and couldn't be bothered. The food was very good and we went exploring and had a great meal at a restaurant not far from the hotel. It would be helpful if the amenities could be listed and where to find them. Didn't like having a room on the ground floor with people passing by and the ability to see in your room. We asked to change rooms and were told it could be done the next day. When the next day arrived, no one knew anything about the request. I originally requested a balcony room but not sure my definition and their idea of balcony meant the same. The resort is in a good location. We used Uber services which was great so didn't need to think about parking. The hotel sent a cute birthday cake for my daughter's birthday which was a very thoughtful gesture.
