  Not for Everyone.

  Looks much better in pictures. Most of the staff is amazing and friendly. Shoutouts to Anthony at the pool bar, always had a smile and unfortunately, I can't remember his name, he was the host at the Atlantic, super friendly, fun older gentleman. They both made our trip a little better. The food in the buffet was very good and had lots of different options that changed daily. We only ate at two of the restaurants, the Bahamas and Kulinarium both were decent. If you want a sit down, dinner served, its a good option, but honestly the food in the buffet was just as good. The "needs improvement category". They are constantly cleaning the main reception area, however, the floors to the rooms, hallways and elevators weren't touched the entire week we were there. We saw the same stirrer on the floor in the same spot the entire time we were there. It was right outside the elevator so no way to miss it if it was being cleaned daily. The floors to the rooms felt like the projects of NYC. Just dingy and dirty, in need of maintenance, paint and cleaning. The music at the pool was torture. If you're into hip hop with loud groups of girls screaming, this is the place for you. The DJ didnt seem to read the crowd. It was a pretty diverse crowd (although I think for most, this is a one and done type place) . We spoke to at least three different couples at the beach who said they came to the beach to avoid the pool scene. If the DJ is in to hip hop, thats fine, but his job is to entertain the crowd, not his peers.

  Paridise in Bahamas

  The resort was a very good value for the money. Although the rooms could use somewhat of an upgrade, they were clean and comfortable. The buffet was excellent, although each of the restaurants were a disappointment. The buffet was much better than the restaurant's. My second time here and would definitrely come again. Staff as exceptional and some went above and beyond,

  Not for you if you like any sort of luxury

  I will start by saying the staff was mostly amazing, however the tier of hotel is just not up to my traveling standards. I've visited multiple all inclusives in the past and this hotel did not have the level of accommodations I'm used to. The rooms are outdated and the food was just ok. The worst for me was probably the lack of alcohol options, and all bottom tier. The titos was 100% not titos, at least not every time, and there was no premium options for alcohol. I thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the beach and like I said some of the staff was fabulous but overall the accommodations were just not it for my standards.

  Great Value and ambiance

  The location and the vibe was AWESOME!! I had a small issue with my room but Ms. Maggie as soon as a checked in had me scheduled for a room change for the next morning and Perez assisted me in the process to upgrade my room. Mr. Scorpio at the pool bar kept the drinks coming and energy on HIGH!! I would definitely go back.
