Kitted out for kids
This all-inclusive luxury resort seemed to be particularly well-equipped for kids. Not only did this complex boast a good-sized kiddie pool, but parents were also very pleased to find a great entertainment programme in place for their young ones. The mini-disco was a real hit and the efforts of the kid's club team here were also much appreciated.
positive:
Good nightly entertainment options
Not only does this property score high with children's entertainment options, but it fares pretty well with grown-up guests too. In addition to multiple on-site bars, guests also loved the live nightly performances.

Solid food and nice pools
Overall, the eating options here were good and many found the quality of the food to be solid.

Chaotic staff, especially when busy
While the staff here are helpful and polite, a number of guests noted that disorganisation did set in when things got busy. This was especially true during peak times and larger events.
negative:
Perks not included
A number of guests felt that a couple of amenities were lacking here. Some were unhappy to find that in-room Wi-Fi and gym access were not part of the all-inclusive fee. Others were disappointed that certain drinks weren't included and finally many noted the lack of a kettle and tea and coffee facilities in their rooms.
negative:
Basic rooms
Finally, despite this being a luxury resort, many commented that the rooms here were very plain, bordering on basic.
