Adequate experience at the hotel

pretty layout separate dining room complimentary snack shallow pool broken tile screaming children

The resort has a pretty layout. It also has its own section of the beach with complimentary sunbeds. I used the Level access that provides a separate dining room. I also enjoyed complementary drinks and snacks during the day.

The pool was too shallow. It had broken tiles. The hotel had many children. The children were screaming and crying.
