The hotel featured a large infinity pool. This pool offered warm water and a relaxing experience with a beautiful view. A convenient bus service ran every 15 minutes throughout the premises. This was very helpful given the distances between various points.
The service in one of the bars was slow. I needed to re-order my drinks.

i found the food variety excellent. Freshly baked bread was available. The pizza was always enjoyable. The pools were fantastic.
the front desk provided the worst customer service. i tried to get a hairbrush and they wanted me to pay. OTHER tourists received hairbrushes for free. The shower head in our room was broken.
