Food was not very good at all. Very bland and my daughter and I ended up getting food poisoning one night. Beds were very hard and pillows were lumpy. Other than that the resort was beautiful and staff were very friendly. Lots of cool animals all around as well.

The staff was amazing. The facility itself has not been touched in 10 years and the lack of maintenance reflects very poorly on my experience. I stayed at the same spot 10 years ago and was excited to take my husband this year. Everything was falling apart, crumbling, torn, and ripped, just poorly maintained throughout the last 10 years. The staff was amazing though.

Stayed in building 11. It really needs to be painted inside and out. Staff were incredibly helpful and food at the Smokehouse and the Italian restaurant was amazing. Staff did push the Club several times but we just politely said no. The only improvement outside of the paint, would be to somehow control the beach trolls selling merchandise. At least 10 times a day we were approached to purchase goods.

Bryan Daniel Romo

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Some of the staff was amazing, but most of them want to sell you on their timeshare the hotel offers (they don’t consider it a time share but it is). They are very pushy on it and feels like a scam. To get around the hotel you have to wait for a golf kart which will sometime take up to 15 minutes. Or you can just walk to your room which is not convenient at all. Was the biggest inconvenience. The food made me have the runs 4 days into the trip, the cups were always dirty. The biggest issue we had were BED BUGS. We let the manager know on the second to last night and they didn’t have a room they could swap us to so they offered to fumigate the room which I felt super uncomfortable after since it’s chemicals. This place was the worst trip I’ve gone to vacation at Forsure.

We stayed for a week and while we loved the buffet breakfast variety and the pool activities every day, we felt as though we were constantly being hounded by sales staff to buy something on property either a time share, excursions, massages, or sunglasses- we could never fully relax without being asked to buy something either on the beach or at the pool. If you want a to hang out by the beach you have to claim your lounger at 6am as there are nowhere near enough for the amount of guests on the resort. It took three days for maintenance to fix our broken shower which only produced cold water, and halfway through the stay housekeeping staff just stopped restocking the mini bar. We loved how the variety of things there were to do on resort and the daily activity calendar within the app. The gym is incredible and the spa is beautiful and relaxing. The staff we interacted with were extremely friendly and kind and truly love the work they do which helps the experience.
