“This resort positions itself as an all-inclusive destination with a private beach and strong emphasis on diving excursions. While some appreciate the improved food and spacious pool area, it's clear that service inconsistencies and outdated rooms detract from the overall experience, particularly given the price point. For a property aspiring to a luxury designation, a more consistent level of attention is needed.”
