Outstanding, very hard to fault. Beautiful setting, attentive staff. Delicious food. Lovely swimming pool and beach. Only thing for me is that it is very expensively priced. Stayed in comparable places around the world where you get all inclusive for that price, whereas we had to pay on top.
But if you are happy with the price, then the resort is top class.

Lovely hotel, great location. Food quality and service levels very high. However, club rooms not worth the extra tariff. Club Lounge offerings very limited.
