"My first impression of this resort was not the best, but as we stayed there, it slowly grew on me.
First of all - all of the staff - especially (Brissa (Concierge), Vanessa and Angel (activities), Manuel (pool side service) - to name a few - were all AMAZING! All very hospitable, kind, and communicative. Really appreciate all of them.
Pros -
Room (4712) was quiet, even though it was right next to the elevator. Beautiful room.
Pools were nice (cold when you first got it but adapted well)- we traveled with our child so we stayed at the 2 family friendly pools.
Beach was nice - soft. The ocean was nice as well but NOT swimmable due to jelly fish and the aggressive waves. Fun for wading/chasing.
Cons -
Food was just ok in my opinion - the restaurants were nice (definitely do the hibachi at the Asian restaurant), but definitely inconsistent. The buffet had a beef, chicken, fish, and pasta option every night.
Alcoholic drinks were inconsistent. All of the frozen drinks were too chunky.
Pool chairs - they don't have enough chairs to support the number of people at the resort. People were saving as early as 7am. They also don't have any lounge chairs or palapas at the beach which was surprising/disappointing.
Evening entertainment was subpar. Other resorts had fire shows, impersonators, etc - none here. They did have karaoke on the beach, and a dance event one night. Wasn't a huge deal to us but wanted to share."
