The park has a lot of potential and offers some nice features, like a clean pool area and spacious villas, but it's frustrating to see it not being maintained properly. While the staff was friendly during our recent visit, several amenities, such as the baby pool and tennis court lights, were not in working order. Overall, a beautiful setting that's let down by the lack of upkeep.
