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.

Great stay in this resort. I like that they have a very kid friendly pool and aside from that they also have a playroom for kids. Lots of options and activities that you can avail in this resort. The room is spacious and amenities is good although I wish a much bigger TVs which a bit of a standard nowadays. The only missing here is a good beach so if you are looking for it, this is not the place ...
