"We had such a good time at this resort. From the minute we showed up, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Check‑in was quick, and we were at the pool with a drink in our hands before we knew it.
The room was clean and comfy—nothing to complain about. Housekeeping kept everything tidy, and we always had fresh towels, which was awesome after long days in the sun.
The food was solid. Tons of options, and we never went hungry. The buffets had a bit of everything, and the à la carte restaurants were a nice change when we wanted something different. Drinks were great too—bartenders knew what they were doing and kept the good vibes going.
There was always something to do: pool games, beach time, nightly entertainment, or just chilling. You could be as active or lazy as you wanted, which we loved.
The whole place was clean and well taken care of. The pools were great, the beach was beautiful, and the grounds were always spotless.
Overall, we had an amazing, no‑stress vacation. Great staff, good food, lots to do, and a super relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely come back."

"Great staff, food was great, room was perfect fit. There was tons of wild life on the resort! Lots of activities and things to explore on the resort. Never a huge line up for anything. Great jungle vibes! The map is deceiving gives you the impression everything is far away but only take 5mins to walk from one end to the other. "

"I consider my review to be as objective as possible, as I am an experienced traveler. What can I say about the hotel?
If you are looking for peace, privacy, decent à la carte food (no buffet), and wonderful, attentive staff, then this hotel is definitely for you. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and surrounded by lush greenery. You literally live in the middle of the jungle — among palm trees, vines, and many interesting animals that do not disturb you at all, so there is no need to be afraid. Yes, there is a pond with crocodiles on the property, but during our 10-day stay we saw a crocodile only once. Rather than being a downside, it adds a sense of exotic adventure and variety to the experience.
As for the downsides: if you have mobility issues, a disability, or are traveling with elderly people, you should carefully consider whether this hotel is suitable for you. The hotel is not equipped with ramps. To access one of the restaurants for dinner, you must climb three flights of stairs — there is no elevator or alternative access. The restaurant is located on the second floor. The same applies to access to the beach and the swimming pool, both of which require using stairs. This was quite challenging for my husband (who uses a walker) and for my elderly parents. That said, the staff are very kind and helpful and will assist whenever possible.
I would also like to mention some inconveniences for guests traveling with pets. We stayed with our small 4 kg poodle. Although th"
"Overall, we had a great stay at this all-inclusive resort.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful — every time we had a question or a small issue, it was resolved quickly and with a smile.
The food was good overall. Some dishes were a bit different from what we’re used to, but the variety was solid. The à la carte restaurants were a highlight, especially the Italian one — great selection and quality. We honestly wish we had booked it more than once.
The resort itself is very lively. At times it felt quite crowded, especially around the pool. Unfortunately, some guests leave towels early in the morning to “reserve” loungers despite the rules, which we didn’t love — but that’s more of a guest behavior issue, not the hotel’s fault.
The pool water was a bit cold, and the sea wasn’t very clean during our stay, but again, this isn’t something the hotel can control.
We stayed on the resort for the full 7 days without even leaving the property — there was enough to do. Some of the shows were really enjoyable, others were just okay. The bar was good, drinks were decent, and overall the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.
In general, a very positive experience. We felt comfortable, well taken care of, and truly relaxed."
