Terrible place to be. We were there to celebrate honeymoon. As part of the package, a romantic dinner was to be offered. However, on the day of the dinner, no arrangements were done at the restaurant. The staffs were clueless. On a day that the hotel's responsibility was to treat us as VIP guests, the restaurant manager and the staffs were looking at us as fradulent people. Organization was very poor. No collaboration between different departments. Also the staffs are very unprofessional. Will surely not recommend this place to other people. Read less Read less

Please don’t book this hotel. Food average at best. All inclusive is for buffet only (not a la restaurant) and 50% of drinks are not included. I left my special watch in safe when leaving. Messaged them 1 hour later asking they collect it from room. They ignored my request and after other requests finally said they’d been to room and it had gone.… Read more

Clearly they’d left it too late resulting in it being taken. Appalling way to treat guests. Read less
