"Everyone was very kind, food was good. Atmosphere great with the locals but the only thing I have to complain is how outdated the resort looks compared to the pictures online. Online everything looks amazing and new and thats not the case also the room air conditioning was horrible first night room was so hot even after we called to have someone fix it, we also asked the next day we were told someone would come up and no one ever did."
