Our stay started off well, with a great welcome, but took a turn for the worse due to several health concerns and service issues. While the hotel had a lovely pool and beach area, our experience was marred by severe illness and maintenance problems. The staff's attitude was inconsistent, with some being unfriendly and dismissive, which was disheartening given the hotel's five-star rating.
