I had mixed feelings about my stay. The resort had a great beach and clean rooms, but it became crowded on weekends when locals were allowed in, which affected the atmosphere. The dining options were decent, especially at the specialty restaurants, but I often left the buffet disappointed. For the price, it was a decent experience, but I wouldn't return to this hotel specifically.
