My stay at the resort had some ups and downs. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, but I wouldn't recommend paying for the privilege upgrade as it didn't seem to offer any real benefits. The food left a lot to be desired, with poor variety for breakfast and only a few decent dining options in the a la carte restaurants. The service was hit or miss, with some staff members being friendly while others were not. Overall, while the resort itself is beautiful, the poor dining and inconsistent service make it hard to fully recommend.

Rooms

The rooms were nice and clean, with no bugs and a comfortable setting, but I wouldn't say the privilege suite justified the extra cost.
Service

The resort is well-kept with beautiful grounds, but the beach area could be cleaner, especially round the sunbeds.
