The hotel offers a lovely tropical setting with spacious, albeit somewhat dated, rooms that still provide beautiful views. The pool area is delightful, but the dining options leave a bit to be desired, especially with limited snack availability around the pool. The service appears to improve over the week, but initial staff training issues can be noticeable. Overall, the experience is solid, but it has room for improvement.
