Very Good

The property was seemingly in the middle of a regular town. Which I found good but know there is no walking to other beaches. The staff was friendly and helpful. I have no complaints. I’m we found it quite enjoyable. And kudos to the nightly performers!
All you can drink alcohol and food. Doesn't get better than that!
Staff where friendly
The parties where very fun and there is a night club on the property
We enjoyed. Thank you for my daughter’ s bday decorations. It was big surprise and fun. Everyone was helpful and friendly. First room we stayed at was on the ground floor and we found many bugs in our room including a lizard. The staff were very accommodating and gave us a different room. Thank you.
I had an amazing time at this hotel! The staff was very friendly, and my room was cleaned and the bed was made every day during my stay.
The only downside was that the cell service was pretty bad, even when connected to Wi-Fi, but it wasn’t a big deal.
The resort has about six pools and multiple restaurants. The buffet was my favorite—I ate there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They also have a steakhouse that was really good.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
Love this resort, stayed at this in Cancun too and will keep staying at these. The food is good, drinks are yummy and you can add an extra shot to make them stronger. Plenty of activities to stay busy or just relax. Locals at the beach sell cute cheap souvenirs and reasonable massage prices. Monkeys in the trees by the beach eat fruit from your hands in the mornings and they took a man's sunglasses off his head but they were too adorable to be mad at.
Hands down the best resort. They staff was so friendly. I felt safe and welcomed. They did not ask for tips or make me feel like I had to give. I felt welcomed and was said hello by everyone. The food was good. It truly was a Pura Vida. I will go back again for sure. I highly recommend staying here. I left feeling peaceful and wanting to see more and so more. I am thankful to be blessed the opportunity to experience paradise.
