This is our second time staying there. We really enjoyed the private pool and our 2 bedroom villa which was very spacious. The staff is always very attentive and nice. 5 min walks from the beach, restaurants and grocery store.

Location
The proximity to Jan Thiel beach and restaurants is perfect. There is also a grocery store 5 minutes walk which was very convenient. We found both pool areas very nice, but the main pool seating arrangements are mostly cabanas, so we found there was a shortage of loungers most days. We are at the restaurant for lunch and one breakfast. The food was just okay. The staff were all amazing, very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a deluxe apartment and really enjoyed the balcony. There are stairs and no elevator, so a little tough getting the luggage up and down but it’s manageable. We did need a converter to charge anything in our room. Plenty of parking around the resort. Overall it was a pleasant stay!

If you’re looking for somewhere in the city, this location wouldn’t be best, it’s like 30-40 mins away from the airport & taxi fees are like $50-$60 USD. The hotel is pretty nice and the food is good as well. We did find one roach in our room, but nothing too worry about. The beach is like a 8min walk away. The staff is pretty nice & there are a few things to do around. We liked it!
