    Anniversary Trip

    The food at the resort was very disappointing, both in quality and selection. The breakfast omlette bar and the cappucino machine were about the only positive standouts. Bakery items were average, hot buffet food was not appetizing. Fruit selection was good. The food at the snackbar was terrible, we didn't eat it. The service and staff were very friendly and helpful, another positive standout of the resort.

    Spend your money somewhere else

    Our stay was extremely disappointing. The food at the snack bar and buffet was so poor that, despite paying for an all-inclusive package, we ended up eating every meal off the property. The resort forbids drinks in the pool and even has staff shouting at guests, which we’ve never experienced anywhere else. Our room was damp, warm, and showed visible mold and mildew, with several days of no hot water. Fresh white paint in the room even transferred onto our clothing. Overall, this resort fell far below expectations. Don't ruin your vacation. Spend a little extra and go somewhere else. This place is terrible.

    Good vibes and lovely people

    The lobby bar is such a vibe. Mostly down to Edwin. An absolute hero. His pina coladas saved the day for me on many occasions 👌

    The staff save this hotel

    The service here was excellent and the pool areas and exterior are beautiful. The food was terrible. There were not a lot of choices and were mostly the same day after day. They seemed to be using hot dogs from lunch or the day prior, covering it in a red sauce and serving it for dinner. The room we stayed in was dingy even when cleaned. Upon arrival the bathroom door didn’t close at all but was quickly fixed by maintenance staff. The curtains are sheer which is lovely but there is no option to pull the thicker curtains closed should you feel the need for privacy or to block out light. The beach was also beautiful but is not for swimming. I rated the location a terrible simply because there are not amenities close by but one small grocery store and a (very good) pizza place. The store in the hotel is wildly overpriced. $34.99 USD for bug spray!

    Great time

    Edwin was the best! Always friendly and yummy drinks. The resort was very clean and pool entertainers were wonderful. Fitness classes were fun.
