This wasn’t what I expected – Good or Bad?

The food was delicious, accommodating dietary restrictions. Staff were attentive, making my stay enjoyable.

Check-in was chaotic, with unprepared rooms and a lack of communication causing frustration.

The kids especially loved the interactive activities, and the vibe around the place made it a perfect family getaway. Relaxing by our private pool was a hit with everyone.

My wife says that more family-friendly activities would be great.
