Quick Take: It's a fantastic value for families, but couples seeking peace and quiet will be overwhelmed by the screaming kids and crowded infinity pool.
Reviewed by @Manana_design: I had the most relaxing stay here! My room was super modern with fun, colorful details, but the real highlight was eating room service on my balcony while the sun went down. The infinity pool is also incredible for soaking in those panoramic views.
