The lagoon and the surrounding beach is beautiful. The staff was friendly and for the most part very helpfull and kind. However the food and drink situation is disastrous and it's clearly the faultn of the mangers. You can't get a good cup of coffe at any point in the day not even if you would like to pay. It's either extremely watered down coffe at breakfast from 6:30 till 11:30 and after that it's only machine powder coffe. The hotel buys obviously very cheap raw materials for breakfast but then it's wasted because at least 40% goes to waste. Instead they should buy better things and present them decently. Because they don't regulate or separate the breakfast lunch and dinner times for the whole hotel you can't predict if there will large cues for food. Do not buy anything in the hotel or premises for souvenirs or drink it all marked up 100%. Rooms are cleaned once a day and a good job was done each time. The furniture is bulky and way too massive for the room size. The handing out of drinks in .2 glasses is extremely silly practice all it does is antagonize the guests. The place has a great setting and could be really nice if they changed the cooking style and the people who mange the place.
