My experience at the resort left much to be desired, as I faced several issues that affected my overall enjoyment. The rooms were outdated and not well-maintained, while the service was quite disappointing when I raised concerns. The food selection was limited, and the quality was not what I expected for an all-inclusive stay. However, the beach area was decent, though the cleanliness of the water could be improved.
