Just ok

Shower was broken. Had to wrap towel around to avoid water to spray everywhere, no warm bedding available the first night, only one thin sheet, they put my 72 year old mother on the last floor, the stairs were a hazzle, restaurant food quality was poor. Nightclub concentrated in american music. Buffet food was very good. Bartenders Cristian and Noel at swim up pool made the stay worthwhile. Room service was excellent.

I loved everything hung about this resort except the food. It was awful. There was little taste, some looked like it had been sitting there in the heat for hours. It got to the point that I dreaded meals. I came home with the worst stomach ache. It was a shame because everything else was fantastic.

The beach is exceptional, the food was superb, and the staff provided outstanding service. The primary area for improvement lies in the guest rooms, which are outdated and require renovation; however, the public areas are meticulously maintained.

It felt home-y like an apartment property , we loved that feeling. Some things you felt far away from like our room from reception and restaurants but still somewhat convenient. Everyone was very friendly and for the most part accommodating. The rooms should have the outlets tested, only 2 out of 5 outlets worked. The wi-fi wasn’t stable especially for multiple people rooming and throughout the property. The rooms should be fumigated for insects. Despite some hiccups, we loved the place and can’t wait to stay again.
