8/10 Very good

Great property, very clean, great staff. This property is great for families with young kids and mature travellers especially those with mobility issues, as it offers all inclusive services. You do not need to leave the resort. For us, we ventured outside every day, trying the local foods and experiencing the culture. Overall, a great place and I recommend it.
