i stayed in a seaview room and it was perfect. the sunsets from the balcony were gorgeous (i had a drink every evening!). staff are very friendly and always helpful. the room felt spacious and well-appointed. breakfast was relaxed if i went early. i also loved walking to nearby restaurants and entertainment spots. there are many pool options to visit, i tried a few. the beach across the road is very convenient too.
The drive from the airport was longer than expected. It took almost two hours.
