The variety of restaurants impressed me. the resort features many pools and activities. i found the cleanliness really good. It was probably the cleanest resort i have ever visited. the staff was wonderful, always ready to assist.
i noticed the pools were very crowded with sunbeds often reserved early. the beach area is rather small considering the number of guests. i found the lack of poolside bar service frustrating at times.
