Gorgeous property but value is questionable

Liked:The property is absolutely beautiful, the pool is huge and you never have to worry about finding a lounger by the pool or beach. The Portuguese restaurant was fantastic! Access to the beach is easy and you aren’t far from a couple of other nearby towns if you want a change of pace.

Disliked:There isn’t anything to do besides sit by the pool or beach. The resort should offer more on site options like sports or games. For a 5 star hotel where you pay over $400 or $500 per night to charge $25 to use the spa is ridiculous! Also for a destination visited by international travelers to have some waitstaff and kitchen employees to lack average English skills is poor. Multiple times there were mistakes or ignored requests because of a language barrier and that was disappointing.
