Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was very beautiful and serene and clean.
Negative: That the reception kept lying that the resort eas full and pushed for the more expensive 2/1 room apartment when it was just my daughter and me and i when i arrived at the resort it was hardly full, infact we had the pool to ourselves most of the time. I also booked for a marine expedition at the offices. We were never contacted and that made me miss the opportunity to see dolphins. I found this very disappointing. There wasn’t any apology either. If you contact the resort directly for booking they will say the normal rooms aren’t available but if you book through booking.com they definitely are so I advise you not to book directly but use the platform.
Summary: The staff at the restaurant and the rooms were exceptional and very kind.
