Great family resort. Only complaint was not enough tables in shade areas & ppl would claim them & then not sit at them for hours. Plus only having 2 pool staff who were run off their feet so waiting for food & drinks too a long time. Otherwise great location & fun activities for kids.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. Several reviews made it sound like the hotel was run down or dirty, but this was very inaccurate compared to what I experienced. The rooms looked remodeled and were clean with higher end amenities, such as a large walk in shower. The grounds were beautiful with a large pool, a hot tub, and an infinity pool right on the beach. Only complaint was the room smelled of mildew when I first arrived but seemed to dissipate once I turned the air conditioner on. Overall a great experience and a lot of bang for your buck.

Overall it was not worth the money spent. Location was good, but the pool area chairs are limited at claimed early. The pools themselves were nice- honestly the best part! The all inclusive is very limited and doesn’t even include a can of beer or a bottle of water. Food was alright but again super limited for the all inclusive option. The property is overrun with birds; was literally pooped on from a bird an hour into our stay. The worst of it all was our “superior single room.” Old, small (maybe a utility closet), overlooking the street so loud, no patio or overlook. Not what was shown in the pictures on Expedia or their website. Cheaply painted. Beat up refrigerator; old split for “ac.” The bathroom was small and dirty; you hardly stand up straight in there and there was an open vent to the outside. Crack under the front door felt like anyone could come in. The room was not clean there was a cheato dusted lip print on the window. We had friends with the same booking who had a completely updated hotel room worth the money. I feel like we were scammed. Hotel will not process a refund. We had stayed in an Air BnB for less money a few days prior and the value was so much more.

hotel was very old fashioned. no AC in the lobby but at least the room had AC. decoration were beautiful but very old. some of the lights in our room didn’t work. the staff were all super nice and friendly! all inclusive resort was not all great. the food had no flavor whatsoever or seasoning, the food tasted bland, the drinks were not the greatest and was a limit of two drinks a day. mostly tried and ate food outside the resort. but the whole resort staff was wonderful! the SPA was a must do. absolutely loved the spa! only downside was that it’s right by the beach so you could everything outside. not much relaxing but the massage was amazing!

We loved the property and something for all The staff is amazing and helpful with professional attitudes all wearing uniforms so you do know who you can refer to for anything We did not eat here at the restaurant but everything looked and smells amazing You always see staff cleaning and i mean from sweeping to scrubbing property and rooms The foliage and ambiance is beautiful for such a dated hotel Some times missing and bathrooms did have slope in our unit so in bathroom needed caution as the floor would get sink water on it often we just plut down towels to stay dry but i think my only concern was with the elevator adjacent the restaurant as it was placed out of service and we did get stuck in it...was fixed but same problem happens a few days later we by choice started using steps where surprisingly easy to climb had low 3inch steps to traverse so was good exercise daily Top notch local accommodations and I would definitely stay here again without reserve

This hotel is in very poor condition to stay. We found black mold on the pillows and all behind the headboard of the bed. We left immediately. That is not safe for guests. Hotel refused to refund my money. Do not recommend to anyone, especially if those with health problems.
