problematic appexcessive towel policy
The hotel app was really problematic. reservations often didn't go through, and the staff wrote everything down on paper anyway? the towel policy also felt unnecessary. Recording room numbers for towels seemed excessive and made the process inconvenient.

Mediocre Stay with Notable Issues
all inclusivesewage smellunusable app
The all inclusive aspect was acceptable. It.
The lack of attention to detail became apparent early on. My bathroom reeked of sewage throughout my stay. I requested help multiple times. Staff seemingly sent cleaners but the issue lingered and the smell never really disappeared. the app system for restaurant reservations was useless as everything always looked fully booked.

charmed by the mora
modern designwarm staffexcellent buffetcoral presence
the resort design is very modern, as it's a newly built hotel. the staff were attentive and warm, so i felt welcome at every moment. i appreciated the african night (it was energetic!). the buffet was varied and excellent.
there were small commercial boats parked at the beach, since the hotel is near a public entrance (other hotel guests board these boats for day excursions). this left a small area to swim. coral was present and made swimming difficult. it's a shame.

the staff served drinks even on the beach and always smiled. they seemed to take great pride in their work and offered consistently attentive, warm service at all timeswith a relaxed atmosphere.

The superior junior suite KING ocean view was HUGE! It included a very large bed and air conditioning kept the room cool. Housekeeping prepared the room for the evening during dinner service, I found this a nice touch.
The hotel has strange lighting in jikan restaurant, it created an odd atmosphere.
