“Proximity to the airport streamlines arrival, setting the stage for an all-inclusive experience, though the beach's coarse sand may not appeal to everyone. I noticed that the service is attentive, swiftly addressing guest needs. Despite mixed reviews of the a la carte dining, the buffets stand out, making this a relaxing retreat.”
