mixed feelings about this place
overlooked pool lacked privacy
i booked a room with a private pool and an inland view, but the pictures online? totally deceiving. my pool was overlooked and lacked privacy. overhead walkways meant constant foot traffic and peering eyes and i think i saw the staff pouring drinks from my room.

mediocre experience, some shortcomings
limited drinks repetitive food
the all-inclusive offering was less than expected, i found. there was one draft beer option. there were three cocktails max. the alcoholic-free beer required an extra payment, this bothered me. the food became repetitive and didn't meet expectations, which led to dining out at my expense.
