Unfortunately, my experience at this resort was quite disappointing. The property looked nothing like the pictures, and the accommodations were outdated and not well-maintained. The amenities left much to be desired, as I found the pool dirty and the beach access limited. It's frustrating, especially given the price we paid; there are better options out there.
