Firstly, love that it is an all inclusive resort - I like that I don't have to worry about food and drinks. There are plenty enough activities in the resort itself where you can participate especially if you're an extrovert, or be content to watch and observe if you're an introvert like myself. Foodwise, there were plenty specialty restaurants but if you've been in their main buffet, then you've been to all of it. Our concierge were helpful in placing our reservations. We have had a little problem where I woke up with the water flooding our bathroom. The front desk has been quick to send someone to fix it. The staff are all kind and happy to help. We love that we didn't feel obliged to give tips for every single service - that has made showing our appreciation much more sincere instead of transactional.

The staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to say hi and ask if you if there is anything you need. The property next door is very unsightly, and the beach front is littered with waste as you walk along the sand.

Guest beware of what extra guest charges

Hotels.com overcharged me an exorbitant extra guest charge which we did not have and it all went downhill from there since they made no genuine effort to right this wrong. They claimed to have attempted to contact the hotel for approval of a refund. The hotel claimed no one had contacted them. It was like an on going ping pong game where no one assumed fault and lack any care to resolve this issue. In addition, the hotel is an antique. The online photos are misleading. It needs a major overhaul. The only thing pleasant about the hotel is the staff.

First and foremost, the resort and staff were great! The only bad experience we had was the process of “becoming” vio members of the Iberostar flag. The specialist asks you questions in regards to how how much we spend on hotel stays and the number of times we go on vacations which in regards I understand but truly unnecessary when they can gather that information by simply seeing our booking at the time of visit, the “boss” as the specialist referred to him as, clearly has no grasp on how to optain in future members. Wasn’t until I brought up these points is when he brought over another specialist who actually gave us valid information and numbers on the process and cost of becoming a member. They need to tighten up and get with the times in regards to that process, guests shouldn’t feel like they’re being chosen or denied during that process. We overall had a great time cuz we didn’t let that experience tarnish anything.

Things that are great: updated showers with great water pressure, cabrese salad at the Italian restaurant, lots of beach seating, the beach, the pool and lots of seating. The Mexican restaurant is the best restaurant. Not so great: out room was dirty but they tried to make it right, they sell you hard on becoming a member ...time share stuff and then are not nice to you when you say no, the food is not great and they can be the rules on what restaurants need reservations in the middle of your stay and then don't tell you. The staff is also not the friendliest. Overall a 3.5 star resort.

The property is not properly maintained and cleaned during the day. The pool is probably the dirtiest pool I’ve seen at a resort and I’ve stayed at multiple resorts in the Caribbean. At the Italian a la carte restaurant, we did not even know who our waiter was, so we had to chase down multiple waiters to be able to order things. There was garbage scattered all over the beach and the staff did not pick it up, I actually saw some of the guests go around and try to pick some of it up. Our room had a strong smell of humidity and cigarettes so they gave us a new one after multiple talk with the front desk. Once they gave us the new one, the room phone didn’t work and neither did the locked safe. I would not recommend this resort to anyone.

The resort was very nice and the room was clean. We went with three children 14, 9 and 1 year old and they enjoy every minute of the vacation.The entertainment was excellent all day long and the food throughout the day was great, from the buffet to the restaurants. If you go take money for tips because if you don’t tip everyone that serves you they will ignore you the next time they see you, we learned that the first day.

They do not put wash clothes in the room so if you do not bring your own you have to ask every day. They do provide glass bottle cokes and sprites and rum in the room but the bottle opener is level and sprays half the beverage on you. When we asked for a handheld opener they stated there wasn’t one. The room was very clean and nice except the phone broke on day two and was never fixed. The app is good for finding out what is going on but requests are not checked. We asked for a bath sponge on day one and never received one.
