Overall good experience. Clean room, clean facilities, nice service staff and great location. Front desk staff seemed to be a bit under staffed so check in and out was a bit slow. Make sure to not remove your wrist band until checkout. We took ours off and threw in trash and they made us search through the trash to retrieve to complete the check out. All inclusive deal worth it, good drinks and food was solid, nobody got sick! Area around the hotel feels safe at day and night. Lots of fun bars as well in the area. All and all, if you like this area- its good spot to stay

Beach view was beautiful. Chair or seating access both on the beach and pool area was too limited for the number of guests and rooms. People would throw their towels on the chairs at 8 am and never come back to use them. It wasn't a a very fair way to use the amenities. The staff was friendly, and our cleaning lady, Angelique, was fabulous! The shower was nice, but the water kept going from hot to cold while taking a shower, no matter what time of day. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves, but didn't like the pool issues, and didn't like having to wear a plastic bracelet even though we did not choose the all inclusive package for food and drink.

The room was in OK condition. Our room had a leak in the vent because of the AC. We notified staff when we noticed; they came and "fixed" it, but it kept dripping onto the floor. The room was smaller than the pictures make it seem. The staff was great! Friendly, helpful, and prompt.

Room was clean. Mattress was hard as a rock, they should probably start replacing to new mattresses soon. Resort is in perfect location, everything you need. Staff at resort were excellent. We didn’t do all inclusive, not much point with all the restaurants in the area unless you’re a heavy drinker then all inclusive plan might be for you. Beach is amazing get there at 745am and Pedro will get you a chair and umbrella. Place is wicked, stayed with my wife and daughter.
