You get what you pay for! Really convenient and the staff were so helpful with the breakfast option and even notified our tour guide that we went out to eat. Do not expect nor compare it to any Holiday Inn or Marriott because, it is not. A place to get some shut eye and even provided a hairdryer for my wife! Book it, coz we did. Thank you!

The resort has everything anyone would need for a fun, relaxing vacation. Only issue I had was that some of the desserts were a bit stale, otherwise the food was very good.
