The location and facilities of the resort are very good. However, they do not explain at all what facilities are located, how, and when they can use them. They do not explain at all what kind of activity programs they have and whether a reservation is necessary to use the shuttle bus. The staff does not respond to guests with a smile but responds with a cold look.

Stayed at the Magellan king room. Room and beds were clean and was a very big room. The compound is big and beside a bay which hosted giant clams, sea urchins, fishes. Nice location nearby the airport and convenient point to travel to other areas in the city. Sunset views were breathtaking.

The only missing here is a good beach so if you are looking for it, this is not the place ...
