We stayed for 6 nights.
PROS:
- The property is beautiful, and we watched breathtaking sunsets every single day.
-The staff were amazing — always positive, welcoming, and the resort was spotless at all times.
-The food was incredible. There was a huge selection at the buffet, themed nights, plenty of fresh fruit, and fresh juices. Krystal was our favourite restaurant — we went twice. The lobster tartare, short rib, and Ferrero Rocher dessert were exquisite.
-There’s even a cat named Catamaran guarding the resort, she’s definitely a star there!
- The beach was our favourite part. We swam and took long walks along the shore every day and even got to see stingrays and dolphins.
CONS:
-We don’t drink, but the bartenders often pressured us to order alcoholic drinks and didn’t seem very attentive to us because of it.
- Despite the “no smoking” signs, people were frequently smoking around the resort. It made it difficult to enjoy the fresh ocean air, and this should be enforced more consistently by staff.
-There are water sports and rentals on-site, but when signing the waiver, there was no English version available — only Spanish — so you don’t really know what you’re agreeing to. We rented a kayak for 30 minutes, and I hurt my foot while a staff member was helping us get back on shore.
- The steakhouse had massive lineups, and we honestly didn’t enjoy it at all. The surf and turf was underwhelming, though the chef did apologize later in the week.
