After reading other reviews before and after our stay, I will try and be as objective as possible, however; the magnitude of how bad this bad vacation experience was still lingers. So...where to start?... Resort: First of all, this is a lower end resort, and we knew that going in. We were still shocked and disappointed by the poor quality... more

All of the rooms are fairly close to the beach, bar service was great, as the week progressed, there was more alcohol in the... more

So that served to lower our expectations, but we determined to make the... more

On arrival, I was told that we were given rooms in the newest and nicest part of the hotel!!! When we got to the room, it smelt... more
