Nov 01, 2025Good and Not so good, part 2
This was our 2nd visit to this resort. We reserved 2 rooms for 3 guests at Premium Level. Check in seemed smooth, only 1 room was ready, we checked in at 12:30pm, no problem. We were told what room number the other room would be and told it would be ready around 3pm. We went to the pool/beach and enjoyed ourselves. Around 4:30-5:00 we went back to our rooms. We were able to get into the 2nd room with our wristband but found another guest already in the room! There was obvious confusion, we apologized to the other guest and immediately returned to the Premium lounge and informed them of what happened. They did not seemed surprised or shocked by our story and simply commented that they had changed our 2nd room number. There wasn’t even an apology from them for the confusion. Once we got into the correct rooms, everything in the rooms was very nice, beds are comfortable, a/c works great, rooms are clean. The pool areas are very well maintained, they work very hard to keep the beach clean from seaweed. The bars/buffets were good, although the pool bar ran out of all its vodka one day. Maria at the buffet was wonderful, as were Angel at the lobby bar and Juan at the pool bar. We did go to Strikers Sports bar at the Palace side and were very disappointed that they no longer served ‘baby beers’😢. I will list the restaurants we visited in order of best to worst: LaBrisa was excellent, food was great, service was great. Kyoto was also great, La Comedie was very good, Chez Gourmet was OK, food was good, but service was very slow and they do not offer a full bar. La Fuente was a disappointment, the food was ok but our experience with the manager was awful. Finally, the trains that take you from the Beach to Palace, I wish they would think of a better way to identify where the trains are headed next, language can be a barrier some times and a sign on the train would’ve been nice.
