Underwhelming stay. Some issues need attention

bland food excessive wait

The room was spacious. It included a hammock upon request.

I found the food to be quite bland. i also had issues with cleanliness. The towels sometimes had hair on them. the wait times at the beach bar were excessive. It often took 20-40 minutes to get a drink.
