The staff were friendly. they were very helpful and polite. the resort features multiple restaurants. I found the variety good. the room was clean, and the housekeeping team kept it tidy.

The room smelled odd, and the water had a noticeable odor. i had to request water because the mini bar was not regularly refilled. the gym felt hot with poor ventilation. It was more like a sauna.
