TL;DR
A solid 4-star experience: good food, nice reef with fish, gentle sea entry. Service can be hit or miss, but most guests leave satisfied with the beach and meals.
Meals include beef in different styles daily, chicken, fish, a different BBQ item each day, and seafood once a week (shrimp, squid). Pastries are tasty. Poolside ice cream was disappointing, but desserts in the main restaurant are good. Overall a solid beachfront hotel for the price.
Right by the hotel it's shallow, but you can walk further along the beach toward the neighboring Novotel, where there's a small reef with fish and no one stops you. On a late check-in around midnight due to a flight delay, a small but tasty snack was offered.
Overall a pleasant stay — good sea and food. The main downside is that no printed resort guide is provided at check-in, so it's unclear where facilities are and what their hours are.
A decent 4-star resort. Room quality varies — upgrades are available for a fee. Food is good. The reef near the blue pontoon is a highlight with plenty of fish. Reception staff were agreeable but slow to act. Came for the sea, got the sea — overall satisfied.
The resort has been good for years. Key strengths are the gentle, easy sea entry and sea-view rooms. Food options are always sufficient — no one goes hungry.
