Dec 22, 2025Great Resort - but don't stay on the Tropical View side!
This was my second stay at this resort and we returned because our first stay, which was for a wedding, was so fun and the food is great. I would recommend paying more for the ocean view rooms thought. This time, we opted for the tropical rooms to save money. Althought the rooms were just as spacious and clean, it smelled like open sewage 3 of the 4 nights we were there. I noticed during the day that we were near a pond that was full of green algae. When my boyfreind told customer service, we recieved $200 worth of coupons, but we couldn't use them because each coupon was worth about $10-$20 off a full spa service or romantic dinner, but you can only use them one at a time rather than togther; and the services are already really pricey so they weren't worth it.

Bad service, under qualified staff, be careful of the room you choose to stay at, some rooms are really far away from everything

Luxury? Not Even Close. A Disappointing Experience from Start to Finish.
0/10 would not recommend. I am a travel advisor and booked this property for 2 nights/ 2 rooms. One for the parents and one for the kids + nanny. From not replying to my emails prior to arrival, our bags being misplaced by the front desk, trying to sell us an upgraded room while my special needs kid cried on the floor of the lobby, to the bellman trying to get me to do a timeshare presentation offering me a free massage if I did, the rooms being insanely far from pools or beach, the water in the kids pools not heated (way colder then the ocean), pools not open until 11am (clearly no one here has kids?) , all the seating around kids pools are cabanas to rent. You need to be atleast 20-30ft away or on another story above the pool for a free lounger- I guess they don't care if your kids drown while you're running to them )0- few vegetarian options (we are all vegetarian and my special needs kiddo specifically) , unhelpful staff all around. What this property does do is give you an instragamable backdrop. So if you care about your social media presence- book it. If you care about anything else- book somewhere else.

Dec 19, 2025Birthday celebration
Had an amazing experience celebrating my birthday with my family. There was something for everyone and the food and drinks were delicious and something to come back to:) Ismael at the lobby bar made amazing drinks and had the good vibes always! Ivan at the front lobby set us up for the rest of the trip with spa treatments and beach cabanas! On my birthday Mario and his partner I can’t remember her name took great care of us! Loved every minute of the trip!

Beautiful property
We chose this resort based on reviews and pictures. Most of it is not true… there is a huge construction going on next door. Instead of quiet forest view you might get a construction war zone. We got upgraded but it took time and effort to get what we paid for. We paid for preferred room that only allows you access to adult side pools and bars. Be aware that with preferred level if you are staying on the dreams side you cannot get into the secrets restaurants for diner even adults only. You would have to pay extra… a lot of extra! Overall we enjoyed the day at the pool in the rented cabana and most of the restaurants. Like most people mention- it is a lot to walk from one side to another. We were not impressed with evening shows. Kids club was only for really little ones and teen longe was bare minimum. Pool tables for the most part. The best thing what we enjoyed was zip line tour as a family. It was nice as it was at the property (extra charge) Rooms were beautiful, modern and new and very spacious. Room service is a hit or miss. One day we waited 10 min another close to 2 hours and when ordered extra water in the evening it was over an hour. And we stayed during slow season. We stayed a week and had room service every day but never turn down service. Not sure if you have to request this or not but it was not a big deal for us. Lots of events going on from weddings to family outings and business meets. It can get loud at night.
