There was a ton of mosquitos, the staff was rude at times and the bar tenders were definitely not qualified bartends aside from one person, there were a so many flies one day on the food that I feel they are negligent when it comes to sanitary conditions I would not recommend this resort.

I drove to your property and the staff seem unfamiliar with people who drive their own vehicle on the property. It took over an hour for us to get clear directions on where to park and where to check in we even drove through areas of the property that were not meant for vehicles, based on the directions given by your staff. When we finally checked in and found our room, we decided to hang at the beach. We were approached several times by guys trying to sell products. This is the first resort I ever said I would never return to.

We stayed at the White Sands for 5 days and very much enjoyed it. Here are the good and the bad: Drinks bad. There is no real juice on the property, neither at the bar or the buffet. Everything is a weird cheap tasting artificial "fruit" flavor. Best of the bunch was passion fruit, depending on who mixed it for you; it was passable in a margarita or mojito. On day 3, I gave up and just had seltzer with lime. The house red wine is pretty good. AC worked, but the room always felt damp. Food: mostly mediocre. We preferred the buffets because you could always find something that was good. Tacos and Mexican food were great. Hibachi station at the Hacienda was great, too. Fruit always delicious. Service generally better at the Dahlia. The only good restaurant we ate in was Sumptuori, whose beef seemed to be better quality than the buffets, and our chef Paulino was great. The Paisana and Portofino had good salads, but none of us liked our entrees. Meat was chewy and pastas tasted weird--the butter in brown gnocchi butter sage sauce was margarine, I think, and there was no sage. The filling in the ravioli not good. Tiramisu nice, though! Good: beautiful grounds, super nice staff, & immaculately clean pool at the White Sands. Loved the jungle paths from the WS to the Colonial. Lots of activities! We love archery with the fabulous Mafer, water aerobics with Miguel. and playing pickle ball as a family. The boys had a great scuba experience. We used the gym twice-very good!

6/10 Good

The location is amazing. The facilities are amazing. The spa is amazing. The people working there are amazing. The food / restaurants / bars / service and convenience are lackluster: (1) why do I need to sign multiple copies of forms to bill anything to the room (why can’t they use our bracelet key)? You can write down any room number and chicken scratch! (2) no top-shelf options for alcohol (at any price) (3) restaurants are all essentially the same back kitchen / bar with the same cookie cutter (Soviet) format. No seemingly natural juices. Coffee meh. No coffee shop. Open buffet times odd for a resort (why do I need to be racing to catch a meal)? (4) Limited options for kids and teens other than the pool/beach – why can’t they have a separate spa for families? (5) why am I waiting 15 minutes for a transport to the other lobby or room which is far away? Just didn’t feel the love.

Not Coming Back
This was our fourth stay at this resort, the last visit being 12 years ago when it was under its former management. It was SO much better then- the food, the service, everything. They've let the beach erode so much we spent 0 minutes on it, the sea weed was so thick there were no fish around, we used to snorkel there, not this time. So many of the things that used to be included in this "all inclusive" resort is now add on charges. Service at the food places was so bad one night I didn't even get my food, my wife and son got there's but mine never came out. Finding water to drink was hard. We brought our big cups thinking we could just fill them up at the bars and be good. Instead we had to go to lobby to ask for bottles of water. Point being, if we'd never been here before it would have been okay but because we used to get more value for our money we won't be coming back Oh, and yes, they've allowed some of the facilities fall apart while concentrating on trying to take over half the resort for the adults only part (TRS). The White Sand lobby smelled like sewage.

Sadly the beaches were full of seaweed and no proper equipment to clear them. The employees tried but there was just too much, they needed skid steers, not rakes.. The lobby area had a disgusting raw sewage smell ...it was repulsive but nothing was done to ammend it. Its a shame because otherwise the resort was quite nice. I wouldn't go back to this particular resort. The TRS side was much better and even there the food was hit or miss.

I've stayed at nicer resorts, which probably skews my perspective. Overall the property is just way too huge, but it helps that they have carts that take you all over. Beach is not kept well, and we found the smell around the property repulsive because of the ponds/lakes all around. However, there were many pools that weren't too busy and the buffet was okay.

Sports bar food was nasty. I wished there was authentic Mexican food at the buffet station. I didn’t quite understand how certain shuttles picked you up or said they couldn’t take you to your destination.

This resort is huge, you have access to three resorts in one. So you need to take buses around or walk a fair bit as it’s easy to get lost at first. Service was hit or miss. We had someone with severe allergies. Most restaurants will walk you through what you can and can’t eat. However we had bad service at the Thai restaurant as the server wouldn’t even listen to us or allow us to order for our kids off the adult menu. And a couple other similar situations at other restaurants. But they made up for that with the impeccable medical service. My son got really sick so we called the doctor In the middle of the night. She came right away. Helped with insurance and then sent him to the hospital. A few hours later upon arrival back there was a employee waiting to check in on my son, and three more calls throughout the day from the front desk checking in on his health. Overall the resort is nice! The white sands is a little out dated and needs some maintenance then other resorts are very nice. Great experience for kids and families.
