Some of the stuff were amazing, such as the entertainment, the waitress/waiters. Rooms were perfect. Drivers that pick us up at the lobby to take us to our room were nice but also rude. One of the drivers were drunk and took my parents to a different side of the hotel when they gave him the actual room number. overall the resort was great! Julio, Jefry, David and Nuris were AMAZING AND SUCH KIND SOULS. I love how sweet they were with my parents and just treated them right! that was the best staff i have ever met!

Good place, the staff was great, but the bara closes at 11 pm so forget about drinks unless you go to the club. The pools and beach closes at 6 pm, so if you plan on relaxing with a poolside drink not happening. They have different restaurants options but you can only eat in one of them every 3 nights. The rest you only get buffet

Great pool and beach, awesome entertainment staff. Overall resort was great and good condition but a few areas are a bit older. A bit further back from the beach than I thought, didn’t really feel like a beach vacation but that was also kind of on us for not focusing on it

The room was very clean (and i’m very OCD) and the staff was helpful and kind! I recommend this resort, the food was good. Only complaint was that you are limited to only eat at 3 of the restaurants and there was no option to pay to eat there (had to eat at communal buffet).

Pool was enjoyable, however you need to wait very long time for a drink. Room was kept clean. Staff was mostly kind but struggling with English language. Food was just okay ( many options but quality wasn’t the best). Overall it was “okay”
