Clean rooms, good service. Nice beach, pools. Food below average, lunch and dinner in the buffet is tasteless. Food in Mexican restaurant absolutely tasteless, what a shame. Krystal restaurant not bad, Japanese restaurant above average. We had lunch in the Italian restaurant, much better than in the buffet. They need to replace staff responsible for the kitchen.
