I had an amazing time at this resort! The beach was beautiful, and the enormous pool was a hit with my kids; they couldn't get enough of it! The food options were fantastic, especially at the Butterfly Cafe, making dining a delightful experience. The only drawback was the cost of some amenities, but overall, I still feel like we got great value for our money.
