Please exercise caution when dealing with this establishment. I had a concerning experience where an individual at the airport sold me activities, promising scuba diving and meals. I paid $70 and was taken to this hotel with my children, only to realize that they were attempting to deceive me into purchasing a time share worth thousands of dollars. It was evident that everyone was upset when I tried to leave. They also pretended to refund me, but never actually did. I will be reporting this to my credit card company. Thankfully, the taxi driver warned me about this prevalent scam that has cost many people up to $40,000. Their sales tactics are predatory and should not be supported.
