Pack some insect repellent, you might get bitten.

Mosquitos and other pesky insects can be a problem here, so keep windows and doors shut in your accommodation as much as you can. Remember to pack some insect repellant to avoid getting any itchy bites.
negative:
Avoid the timeshare presentation if you can!
A timeshare scheme is in operation here and you might be approached by a sales representative when you are checking in. Try not to be swayed, the presentation they offer will take up a big chunk of your free time.

It’s a jostle for space on the busy beach.

The beach right next to this resort is very nice, but being a public beach means that everyone from near and far visits to enjoy the sea and sand. Finding your own spot to sunbathe and relax is not always easy!
