the breakfast buffet was excellent. it had many options to choose from, with both european and asian dishes. the natural setting of the resort was very beautiful. it was close to the beach, and it was within walking distance of some local restaurants.
upon arrival after a long flight, i waited several hours for my room. i think the room should be ready upon arrival. i also couldn't get my all-inclusive card until then, so i had to pay for a drink while waiting.
