Our stay was quite disappointing due to a number of issues. The location had potential with nice facilities for kids, but the accommodations were seriously lacking. The cleanliness was poor, and the rude management really soured the experience for us. While there were enjoyable activities for families, a few key factors made our holiday far from ideal.

Our recent stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The cabin itself was clean and well-located, but it was extremely hot, lacking adequate ventilation, which was uncomfortable for sleeping. The highlight was definitely the facilities for kids, but there were some issues with maintenance that could be improved. Overall, it wasn't an ideal experience, especially considering the pricing.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely beautiful with plenty for the kids to do, but the cabin we stayed in was quite small and uncomfortably hot. The facilities were fantastic, and the pools were a huge hit with everyone, but service could improve as we faced a few hiccups during our visit. Overall, it was a fun trip, but there are areas that need attention.

We had a wonderful time at the resort, with plenty of fun activities for the kids and adults alike. The facilities were fantastic, especially the pools and the swim-up bar, but our cabin was a bit small and hot, and we suffered from a mosquito invasion. Overall, it was a great family getaway, and we're already planning to return.

Our stay was quite the rollercoaster! While our three-bedroom villa met our expectations in terms of comfort and decor, we faced several hiccups during our visit. Wi-Fi issues and a faulty stove lighter were frustrating, especially for a family looking to relax. However, the resort boasts fantastic facilities that kids will love, like a swim-up bar and various pools. Overall, it's worth considering, but be prepared for some quirks given the price point for a villa.
