Great hotel. From the moment we got there we arrived at 9:30am and the staff gave us our wrist bands and said we should go and get breakfast and enjoy the faculties. Check in was quick and efficient and staff were very helpful. service at the bar was quick. You could enjoy food in the main restaurant or you could grab some lunch down by the beach/pool. Hakuna Matata pool bar was great an adults only pool with seats and bar. They have a bar which has a dancing show on and then a DJ in the evening which was lots of fun.
