Much much better than expected! The location was great, and the property itself was spacious with plenty to enjoy. There was a nice variety of food options, including morning smoothies and ice cream, which was a hit. The entertainment was fun, and the pools were thoughtfully designed— a small kiddie pool, a larger family pool, and two adults-only pools. Our room was quite large and offered a fantastic view of the beach and ocean. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, and the on-site coffee café was amazing. Would absolutely love to come back again!

The buffet food selections were good and staff were very helpful in particular the wait staff around the pools and buffets. A la carte selection is limited. The view from the resort is beautiful. There are many options off the resort to walk to or take a taxi too. There is easy access to boat excursions. Evening entertainment was limited most nights to a techno DJ. However there was a fire show one night and a live band without outdoor buffet and flea market that was awesome. I liked that there was the option for a pool for families and pools for adults only along a warmer pool and a hot tub. If you’re a nighthawk or early bird you won’t find too much food or beverages accessible. Loved the cabana set ups in the pool area and then more the the loungers and umbrellas closer to the beach.

The property itself is very well maintained. The tower is the referbished while the 2 side wings are being upgraded. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Beach beautiful and clean. Food was delicious but often was like warm. I like it hot! Selection very good. The lobby area was beautiful with a wonderful cool breeze we loved. The adult bar and pool area was a lot of fun!! Their serloin steak burger was fantastic. Events changed daily and was wonderful. Just the older rooms were tired. I'd do it again!!

After checking the reviews for all the properties in our price range in PVR we settled on this one. Family of 4 with 2 teenage kids. Beach was great and water swimmable compared to others along the bay. You can walk for hours along the beach too! Paddleboarding and kayaking available for free. There are not any extravagant nightly shows. Music is playing pretty much all day with it getting louder around 830pm. Depending on where your room is located, I can see that noise may be an issue when trying to sleep. Definitely bring ear plugs just in case. We were in the tower and didn't find the music bothersome. Some have stated that the food options weren't great. We didn't have a problem finding something to eat everyday. The woodfired pizza is handy as you don't need to go into a restaurant to get it. We visted both a la cartes. Azul was the best one and we went there twice. Teenager from our group was sick his first night there and my daughter was sick our last night there. Assuming food was the culprit...You do have to get up early to claim a cabana. Pool water temps were perfect! Drink service around the pool was fantastic. Rooms are basic but clean and have everything you need except a microwave. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is close to shopping and airport. We used Uber everywhere and our friends used taxi. Sometimes the taxi was cheaper than the uber. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but would visit again!
