During our stay, we found the resort's family-oriented activities and indoor pools a big hit with our kids, providing plenty of entertainment. However, we faced issues with room cleanliness that were hard to overlook, making our experience less pleasant than expected. The shuttle service to the beach was convenient, but the overall maintenance of the facilities left much to be desired. Given the price point, we expected a cleaner environment.
