All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The resort, rooms and all areas are very clean and well maintained. The all inclusive package is quite limited from a drinks perception local beer etc. You have to pay to hire snorkelling equipment which is quite expensive and generally provided at other resorts. There is some entertainment on most evenings so overall I would give this resort a very good but not quite the 5 star experience.
