We had a fantastic experience at this Ritz resort, where the service was exceptional and the pool area was a real highlight. The rooms were beautifully updated and comfortable, but the beach didn't quite meet expectations for being a prime spot. Dining options were decent, though some food took longer than expected to arrive. Overall, it's a great choice despite a few minor flaws and the value for money was fair considering the amenities offered.

Our stay at the Ritz was memorable due to its scenic views and attentive service, especially in the club lounge. We appreciated the inclusive dining options and numerous activities right on the property. Unfortunately, we faced an inconvenience with the electricity and a serious issue with bed bugs, which marred our experience.

I just returned from a week-long stay, and everything was fantastic! The customer service was outstanding, especially from the pool and beach staff who went above and beyond to take care of us. The resort was clean, spacious, and made us feel very safe with sanitizing stations everywhere. However, I wish the dining service at the bar was quicker as it could be quite slow. Overall, I can't wait to return, although a two-week trip would definitely be better than just one!

Our stay at the resort was amazing! The service was top-notch, and every staff member was so personable and attentive. The location is ideally situated, offering beautiful views and easy access to excursions. However, we did find the beach a bit underwhelming for swimming, and while the dining options were enjoyable, there could be more variety. Overall, it was a memorable family trip with excellent experiences.
