I went to a hotel with my husband and chose a room with a double bed for extra space. The room was big enough and the shower was good, but the toilet did not flush properly, so we had to use the toilet in the reception area. We filled our water bottles from the shower and used the extra water to flush the toilet. It was a pain for a week! The hotel staff did not speak English, so we found it easier to figure things out on our own rather than using a translator. The housekeeping was good, they changed the sheets every day and the room smelled fresh and clean. They left different items in the room every day, such as shampoo or conditioner, and provided new towels daily. The pool area was nice with a big pool and two cold jacuzzi tubs. The pool staff was friendly and attentive, despite their limited English. However, the cocktails served at the pool were not great, so it's better to bring your own drinks. The reception staff barely spoke any English, but the bellboys were really friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was not great, but the breakfast servers were the worst. One of them yelled at me in Spanish when I tried to toast my croissant. I found it hard to communicate with them as they did not speak any English, but I guess that's not their fault. Overall, the hotel was okay, but I don't think it was worth the money. However, I would consider staying there again purely for the pool. I paid $180 ,there were slots and so many different kind of birds;it was great!

However, on the whole, the experience was positive. The beds are comfortable and well-kept. The main pool is particularly impressive, and the restaurants, gym, and beach club are all of high quality.
