Plates and glasses left on beach for days and used condoms. Which we pointed out to the management. Broken beds, water full of sea weed. Not good.

The gardens and grounds were kept wonderfully well. We did not venture outside the complex.
Hotel entertainment was very poor but not a problem to us as we only wanted to chill out.
We have booked to go back to same hotel this year. We are even taking friends with us to celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary.

Overall I found the resort to be very clean and well maintained. The only area I found to be lacking in cleanliness was the buffet restarant at breakfast.
The linens on the table were often stained and dirty and cutlery, coffee cups etc, were a bit difficult to come by. This wasn't to the extent that I felt at all disgusted by it, or felt like I couldn't eat there....just an observation. Still enjoyed my meals immensely. Breakfast was by far the best meal of the day at the buffet. Wonderful fresh made to order omelettes (if you don't mind standing in a short line to get them!)
Overall the food was fine...nothing to write home about, but definitely edible and I could always find something to eat. When in doubt, there is ALWAYS bread and pasta, both always very good.
There are also a-la-carte restarants...the Italian was my favorite. I found eating at them took at least 1 1/2 hours of your time though as the service was often slow.
The location of Breezes is to die for.
Beautiful beach...the best I've ever seen and probably ever will see. Large, wide, clean, powdery white sand and beautiful blue water. Big waves for playing in too!
Although the resort is big, everything seems to be only a few steps away....laid out very nicely.
Staff was friendly but can't say that I really connected with any particular staff member like I have at other resorts.....I think this place is too big for that type of personal interaction.
Entertainment is what you make of it. Shows at night are typical of any all-inclusive. Some good, some bad but there's other stuff to do as well. Lots of sitting area by the lobby bar for just relaxing and chatting with friends.
There is a disco which we found fun on the nights where we had our fair share of alcohol! During the day, lots of games and activities....don't see how anyone could get bored here.

This is a poor country and outside the complex this is very evident. We stayed at the Breezes complex. The cleaning staff were very good and considering the location, just off the beach with the wind breezing through, its a tough job to maintain cleanliness but they do it well.
The entertainment was average and enough to keep all age groups amused.
The beach was very clean and was cleaned every night ready for the next day so be careful what you do on the beach at night, the staff may just catch you up to it!
Myself and the rest of our group (23 in all) agree we would return another time.

The beach is paradise.

I was amazed at the lingustic talent of the comapaire. The animation team worked very hard and put n a good show.
The beach was just amazing! The hotel cleaned the beach regularly, there were always sunbeds available whatever time of day you got there. The beach bar and restauraunt gave as much choice as the main ones.
When we visited the health and saftey guys from the travel compainies were visiting and they gave us the thumbs up regarding the kitchens cleanliness.
Go there! the beach will take your breath away!

We never got to see much of the resort, as the beach is private to the hotel. You are permitted to dander on down the beach, however there are signs discouraging this, as the sign states once outside the boundaries, you do so at your own risk. And there was an armed guard too.
The hotel were expanding their beach when we were visiting, and a lot of cleaning up was being done along the strand past the hotel, as this was not as good as the current beach.
I can confirm that there is seaweed on the beach but the hotel staff are out 2 to 3 times a day, with their wheelbarrow sweeping this up. And do a superb job in trying to maintain.

The resort is fairly clean but needs a lot more attention especially after any rainfall. The walkways between the villas need hosing down to get rid of muddy water which ends up on your shoes and clothes.
Pool areas are pretty clean. Beach standard could also be better. The beach needs cleaning early in the morning before guests arrive for the day. We got tired of seeing plastic cups and cigarette ends left from the previous day.
There is also a lot of seaweed to contend with. The sea is no good at all for snorkelling as it suggests in the brochure, it is cloudy, rough and full of seaweed.
The beach is not peaceful as there is continuous music being played and you can also hear the activities from around the poolside.
We would definately not visit this resort again.
