slow service lukewarm minibar
The pool area was acceptable. It had plenty of loungers .
I was not happy with the room service. I ordered a snack, but it took over an hour to arrive. I had to call twice to follow up. the minibar was not cold. The drinks inside were barely chilled, and I found this really disappointing. I think the hotel needs to improve its service in these areas.

excellent breakfast multiple pools direct beach access late pool cleaning inconvenient timing equipment obstruction
I found the breakfast excellent with many choices. The hotel has multiple pools and some water rides for both kids and adults. I liked the beachfront allowing direct access from the hotel.
The pool opened at 7 am and closed at 7 pm. Pool cleaning started after opening, inconvenient. I found staff cleaning and vacuuming while guests were present. Their equipment sometimes got in the way. They did not move it.
