8.2/10 Very good! (565 reviews)
The staff were really great, the location is excellent, and the meals and drinks very good. My only concern is that the resort is looking and feeling very very very tired. It appears that management/owner has done very little to upgrade and maintain the resort in the last 20 years. For an apparent 4 star resort and the money they charge for accommodation, I think management/owner really needs to step up or sell it to someone who cares about the resort, its staff and customers. Come on management/owner, you can do better or the other better maintained resorts will make your obsolete.
