Good experience overall. The facilities are good, the staff are friendly, the views are awesome. Shout out to our room service attendant Nazmul - Thanks for keeping the place clean and tidy for us every day.
Couple of things that could use some improvement:
- Food variety - more fresh fruit and fresh seafood would really elevate the feel of being on a tropical island.
- Kids Club - seemed very boring and disengaging. We expected a place full of activities and fun time for the kid (especially by looking at the weekly activities list), but instead saw a standard daycare (kindergarden) with an "entertain yourself" vibe.
