The property is really nice, and we enjoyed the pool and beach. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was nothing exciting but not terrible. Our room was clean but was on the older side, and was a little loud, but I think that was our proximity to the laundry room. Overall, a nice place to stay if you want a good experience, but don't have a huge budget.

Some of the specialty restaurants were a bummer but the main buffet restaurant Don Julian alone would bring me back. A plethora of options that were different every night we were there. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pools were a bit small but enough. Hetting drinks was very quick; did not have to wait more than 2 minutes any time.

This is not 5 stars. The staff that were there were fantastic. The hotel seemed understaffed. The rooms are awful. The food was better than expected but every restaurant had a 20 to 40 minute wait with tons of open tables. The white party and Sil disco or a ton of fun.
