    Nice vacation

    This is a nice hotel. Nice beach, warm ocean ,great snorkelling. Rooms comfortable and clean. Bar fridge full. Came every other day. We left tip in fridge $1 under Coke Zero and $1 under the bigger beer cans & they stocked it well. I found all the staff to be pleasant and shout out Tiatania in buffet always smiling and remembers your name. Also Delray and Jahnico in Al la cartes hope I spelled the names right. The A la cartes food really good! The buffet was pretty good but repetitive not always hot . Lots to chose from good variety, The jerk chicken was delicious at the Pepe’s. The entertainment staff top notch here excellent! Lots of activity to do.

    Beautiful holiday

    Everything about this hotel was absolutely amazing. From the friendly, accommodating and enthusiastic staff. To the taste of the drinks. The variety and quality of food. The cleanliness of every part of the hotel. Exclusively using the beautiful beach. So many options of restaurants, bars, pools, events and excursions. As a family of 5 (2 adults, 15yr old, 12yr old and 4yr old) there was something for everyone and didn't want to leave!

    Gibson Anniversary

    The front desk personnel were excellent. The resort was beautiful. The excursions were fun. My wife and I had a wonderful time at the resort. The only draw back was trying to make reservation for the restaurants was difficult.
