I had a lovely holiday, but I wouldn't rate it a full 5 stars. The stunning beaches and delicious food made the experience enjoyable, but there were some issues with maintenance and service. The outdoor bathroom was a bit of a letdown due to insect problems, and the water sports staff didn't meet expectations. On the plus side, the vegetarian restaurant and friendly staff really stood out.

While the facilities were satisfactory, especially the adult-only pool area, more maintenance is needed-some broken decking and crowded areas during peak times.

The rooms were immaculate and incredibly spacious, though the dining options at some restaurants could be more varied.
