functional gymsteep hillsloud music
the resort included a gym (i think it had 3 treadmills) so that was alright.
The all-inclusive deal wasn't great. the main restaurant felt understaffed (it was a mess with food all over). i wanted drinks from the nicer bars, but all-inclusive drinks weren't offered at them. You had to walk up some steep hills. plus, the music at night was too loud, and when it went on until 2 am on saturday, the reception staff didn't seem to care at all. (it kept us up all night!)

The multi use court allowed us to play basketball. EVERYTHING was acceptable.
The air conditioner smelled BAD. It probably was just our room. The restroom also made a VERY weird noise and we could not change rooms. I wrote to them multiple times but it was not fixed, annoying.
