Wonderful

The resort is very basic. The dining options are very limited. The rooms are made up every second day and the lighting is on full blast all night. The pool is very nice and a good temperature and the life guards are very alert.
The resort is in a good location and I'm sure it will get better as they only just opened.
Nice and new.
Food choices were OK but some meals were not worth the price.
A Hotdog with no fries is $9 US.
A pasta dish with bolognese sauce was $19 US and the portion size was small for example.
They have tomato soup on the menu and I'm pretty sure the pizza sauce is the same tomato soup.
The fish and chips were a greasy mess that was frozen High Liner breaded cod that you would buy at the grocery store and it was expensive enough.
The facilities were great along with service but the food choices and prices would probably stop me from rebooking.
