The main building rooms have sea views (limited) and are in generally better condition than the annexes. Annexe rooms are the most dated — if you've booked an annexe and the condition matters, ask to inspect before settling. Single rooms are an uncommon category in all-inclusives.
Sea view (some)
Rare in all-inclusive resorts — a single-occupancy room. For solo travelers, this removes the single supplement awkwardness of sharing a double. Condition is consistent with the 2004 renovation baseline.
Balcony or Terrace
Annexe bungalow with twin beds. Balcony or terrace. The most dated category — reviews specifically mention annexe rooms as showing the most wear. Manage expectations accordingly.
Limited Sea View, Balcony
Main building positioning with a partial sea view. Better condition than the annexes. The 'limited' sea view framing is honest — an angled glimpse rather than panorama. Still worth the main building upgrade over annexe.
Balcony, Sea view
Standard double in the main building. King or double configuration. Garden or resort view.
Not specified
Larger configuration for families in the main building. Better positioned than the annexe family room.
Not specified
Annexe double. Dated condition — the least recommended configuration unless price is the primary concern.
Balcony or Terrace
Annexe family room with a separate bedroom. More space than a standard annexe room but same age of renovation.
Not specified
Family configuration in the annexe. Multiple beds in a larger layout.
Limited Sea View, Balcony
Top-of-main-building room with the most space and a partial sea view. The best room quality at this property given the 2004 renovation baseline.
Not specified
Suite category — more space than the standard rooms. Better for longer stays.
Balcony or Terrace
The largest annexe configuration — two bedrooms for larger families. The annexe setting means dated conditions but the two-bedroom layout adds privacy for families.
