underwhelming stay
reversed taps burn risk
the staff were helpful (i particularly appreciated their quick responses).
I was disappointed with the lack of attention to detail. The hot and cold taps in the main bathroom were reversed, and that created a serious burn risk.

solid stay overall
lounge area separate pools short walk
I was pleased with the room size. the separate lounge area was useful and had a fridge. the pools were nice. The active one had music, a separate kids' pool, and a quieter one at the top. the beach was a short walk away, though the gate access was one-way only.
Location

The hotel is situated a short walk from the beach, awesome for easy access to the shore. Though there is no direct access through the gate on the way back.
Facilities

Three pools exist on the premises, with one dedicated to families, another for children, and a quieter pool available. Though they do not have many activities for children.
