Water park and mins to the beach. Nice beach access. Staff are very nice but facilities seems a bit dated. Breakfast buffet was ok. So far a decent beach front hotel resort. Only complain is that the breakfast buffet area are not air conditioned and feel very unpleasant dinning in sweating heat. Wish the resort can air conditioned that area too in the future. Otherwise has been a pleasant stay.
