Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

The room felt quite dated. The furnishings showed their age, and the bathroom fixtures could use an upgrade. Work started early (around 7 AM) and disrupted what could have been a peaceful morning (I expect better at this price point).

basic buffet disappointing food

The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the shuttle to the beach, especially since it is a bit of a walk.

The breakfast buffet was a letdown, it felt basic. the adult pool wasn't really adults-only, and i saw families with teenagers using it, disappointing. the restaurant food didn't impress me much either. It seemed overpriced for the quality.
