The pool, beach, room, food, and service were fantastic! The staff is very polite and committed to providing you with the best experience possible. The butler brought us fruit, chocolates and dessert that were all delicious. I’ve been once before and it was just as wonderful as I had remembered. The showers in the room at amazing. The kids really enjoyed the kids club. The staff is really good with kids. The only areas for improvement were speed of pool-side food, sauna section (lighting, heat control, scent), and setting expectations around pricing of sparkling water at the beach (around 17 CAD, although I was told it was included). Special thanks to Pola and Elena who made it a memorable experience for the whole family (wife and two boys, 7 and 11)! Read less
