The stay was alright although I wasn't offered the VIP service. Nothing spectacular aside from the beach and wet park for kids. There are AC charging facilities at the hotel but have no instructions how to operate it and checking online for those that had used it before states that the its pretty difficult to operate it using a non common app plus the fees is super pricey (not recommended to use)
