Fantastic resort, tonnes to do, we were doing 13000 to 20,000 steps a day around it and didn’t manage to do it all, exceptionally clean. There are staff cleaning the resort all day, every day, really fantastic and clean resort. We had really lovely personal and funny staff, all our experience with each of the staff was very kind and helpful. They went out of their way to look after us. Room in main building:When we came we were put in a dark dim old fashioned room in the main building with no main light and no real sunlight, with a bright yellow bathroom, it was horrible, the hotel whatsapped me to ask how we were finding our stay and I said I was disappointed in the room as it wasn’t 5* at all, very dark and horrible yellow bathroom, hard mattress so they moved us to a lovely bright room with a lovely modern bathroom half way through our stay, it also didn’t have a main light, I’ve heard people ask to be upgraded when they arrive, so if you’re put in the main building you may wish to consider asking for an upgrade or pay to buy a nicer room at the point of booking if you don’t want to risk them being full up at the point of arrival. The only downside to this was the main building is in the perfect location to everything you want to access quickly and easily, when we got moved we were moved to block 4000 which is near the kids area and water park and it was probably a 7-10 min walk to the restaurant, main pool and beach. It was worth it for us but just be mindful of this. If you can put up with old fashioned dark room and prefer a central location stay in the main building. Pool and gym: Around the pool near the world class gym there are waiters on roller blades for drinks. The smoothie and ice cream bar is also near this pool. There is also a fruit stand there sometimes. Lovely beautiful pool with a fantastic mountain backdrop. Pool: The fantasy pool and bar are nice, attentive waiters, pretty setting. He brings you Doritos and nuts when you sit down. Pool; The pool behind the main building is really calm and relaxing as nothing going on nearby, with a waiter who comes from the other pool on roller blades for your drinks. Noodles and croissant: The noodles and croissant pop up snack shops open at 3pm to the left of teppanyaki if you’ve got your back to the beach. These are great. (The sauces for the noodles are fridge cold so be warned they made my noodles cold, wouldn’t recommend the sauces too cold) the croissants however are freshly baked warm lovely soft croissants absolutely 10000% recommend these. Bottled water available:There is bottled water all over the resort everywhere, they keep it in big metal bowls on top of the bars, or in fridges around the resorts free for you to take which is great so you don’t have to pay for it. Whenever we went on a day trip we went to the cafe inside the main reception and took bottles of water out of the fridge. Buffet restaurant: Turquoise is the main restaurant that’s included in your stay, a
