i found the pool area quite fine. shaded cabanas were plentiful and i liked the swim up pool bar. the entire resort had a bedouin style retreat vibe. even though it was quiet, it still maintained a rich atmosphere.
the staff didn't tell us to book activities when we checked in. we came the next day. all activities were fully booked, it was disappointing. it wasn't worth the money to go to a resort where we couldn't do activities. i could have booked a regular hotel instead.
