Outdated.

Outdated and not very clean. It seems to me that this used to be condos then turned to hotel. The bed covers smelled old and the bathroom had mold. The best thing about this place is the pool and that's it.

Good review; The views for this hotel are spectacular. If you are looking to not be around people and have nothing to do all day, this is the right location for you. The hotel was not dirty, just needs some maintenance. Credit to the staff.. The staff was really nice. Bad review; There is no direct access to the beach. You basically have to go through a hiking experience to get to the beach. You must climb rocks and go through other properties to get to the sand. How can you be an all inclusive hotel and yet charge an additional fee for all inclusive?? Yet, you only have two restaurants, one that closes at 5, and the other at 10- Same goes for the bar! Upon my arrival, I witnessed two other couples leaving the facility because of how deceived they were as well.

Staff was amazing. Resort needs major updating. Very little hot water. Rooms are old and outdated with broken faucets, showers etc. The staff is what makes the resort. Menu was small but food was well prepared and fresh. Thank you, Fernand, Pedro, Lilo, Johnathan for being great hosts and making the stay better.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you, but if you’re looking for entertainment, shops, and a little bit of fun this is not the place!!! You would have to get a taxi to 1 of 2 nearby places which is $30 back and forward!!! They only have two restaurants both for lunch, one for just lunch which closes at 5pm and for dinner it starts at 6pm and close at 10pm!! They have a small selection of food, no substitute and dinner changes every night it was 2 nights we definitely didn’t eat anything because we didn’t care for what was on the menu!!!! There is no arcade just a pool table and a dart board!!! A vending machine that only take pesos!! No water sports like it says and golfing was never offered as an amenity when it’s listed on the site!!! Plunge pool, and main pool was falling apart a serious renovation is needed!!! But if you can overlook certain things than you’ll enjoy your time!!!
