“This beachfront resort focuses on family leisure, featuring Iberostar's first coral nursery for climate research and diverse dining; I think the extensive children's program and on-site golf add significant appeal. However, maintenance and service inconsistencies suggest areas for improvement; overall, it presents a mixed experience despite its eco-friendly aims.”
