Hotel masivo, deja bastante que desear, atención lenta, no tienen suficientes estacionamientos, comida deficiente, muy difícil usar los restaurantes, buena atención de los bares pero se ven sobrepasados, faltan lugares que estén abiertos simultánemente, excesiva espera para el chek in y el check out. Cobros adicionales al llegar.

The hotel in general was excellent. It was in great condition and extremely clean. The grounds were immaculate. The dining options were very good and the food at all restaurants including the daily buffet was excellent. The daily buffet had a few different options every day and was not exactly the same food daily. The pools were very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and at the beach. The house keeping service was excellent. The room was. Try spacious and had a large balcony. Sodas and water were replenished daily in the room refrigerator. The only negative about the room was the bed. The bed was very firm. A couple of negatives included the main entertainment stage in the evening catered to the kids with a children’s movie showing nightly. In my opinion, it should cater more towards adult entertainment at night. Also, during the “white party” a violinist played the violin to the tune of the electronic/dance music for about an hour and it was horrendous. The beach was beautiful and plenty of chairs on the beach. However, local vendors start hounding you as soon as you step onto the beach. But, they don’t follow you and do leave you alone. Overall, the hotel is excellent. We will be coming back.

The room was very dated. Staff unfriendly. Tv in the room was too small and showed a fuzzy picture. The light in the bathroom, over the shower was not working. The room was never cool enough with the AC running nonstop. The drinks were wateres down. The food was horrible.

Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We stayed in the family room which was large and comfortable. The dining options were great, and lots of pools for the family. The beach was also a very nice and it was only a short walk from the pools. Looking forward to coming back!

The stay was great. The staff was amazing one evening I was not feeling well, I was sick, I traveled alone and I was Hungary. Therefore, I was too weak to get food, I called front desk to send me up food at first they reminded me that they do not provide that service but I plead with them that I am alone sick, hungry and they made an exception for me that was so kind of them and with that I would give them a 4star. They showed some compassion to me. The beach, there is no bar at the beach or close to the beach. The beach area is nothing to look at, it is just existing. I think they should try to make it more presentable and inviting. The merchants there were very friendly and encouraging to buy there stuff. Their stuff is very affordable it is not really over price. The pool is fun and you can enjoy some quit time because the facility is big.
