The hotel staff was excellent, plenty of pools and chairs so you dont have to rush to get a spot. I wouldnt come back to this hotel however because of the food. There was alot of variety but when you try to do too many things you dont do anything well. Although there was alot of options majority of the food wasnt to my husband and my taste. Most of the food isnt labeled so youre left guessing what it is, all the restaurant's for dinner were buffets. Due to other guest not having etiquette the cleanliness was often in question, people touching ice cream cones and bread with their hands and putting them back... dropping serving tongs on the floor then plscing them back to serve food...mixing the tongs and cross contaminating food. If that isnt an issue for you and you have a low bar for food id recommend, i enjoyed everything except the food. Considering its an all inclusive th3 food being tolerable is a must.

It is a very large hotel with a mixed bag of guests. The staff is friendly and does a good job of cleaning , but the hotel facilities and rooms are older and it shows. The food is almost all buffet style and only mediocre in quality and selection.

The hotel was filthy. It felt like a motel. I was bit up by ants in my sleep. The room was full of them. Bed spreads and mattress were stained with mildew. Only one of two elevators worked. The shower head was rusty, and when the water ran it smelled of sewer. Very very few staff were friendly. Surrounding areas could’ve been better.

This has to be one of the worst all inclusives. The staff including management gives absolutely no importance to customer service. We stayed here for 4 nights. Air conditioner did not work for all 4 nights of our stay. Repeat calls and it wasn’t taken seriously. On the last day the technician arrived, promised he would be back within 15 mins but never showed up again. Snacks and food at the sports bar was pathetic. This property is only known for their parties. If you’re looking to spend your time at themed parties, this is the place for you! If not, please look elsewhere.
