"rooms were not clean, found a couple bed bugs. and food was disgusting "

"It was a fantastic vacation. Staff was great, rooms were very clean and comfortable. Food was good there was a great selection everywhere we went. Beach and pools were clean and plenty of options for sun and shade!"

"This resort was beautiful. The rooms were so spacious. The staff was very courteous and friendly. The grounds were immaculate. I would recommend this place definitely. 10 /10. Love the different restaurants on the property. This was a great all inclusive resort. Can't wait to come back. "

"Food was disappointing. Everything else was fantastic. "

"Place is beautiful. Beach not so much. I couldnt swim out. Too many boats racing back and forth. Hotels entertainment was about a 3. The water park for the kids is at the entrance, the walk was too long for the kids. Its away from everything. Had to ask for room cleaning service. "

"Loved it. 2nd visit"

"Pros: **Staff were very kind and fun **Two VERY large pools. You have plwnty of space and arent running into people. **Swim up bar **Beautiful beach with beach bar **Lots of activities and 3 pool tables! **Two buffets - great food **Ice cream stand! Cons **They say you cant reserve chairs under umbrellas but they do nothing about it. Going to beach / pool around 6:30am and theyre already "claimed" with people's towels yet nobody actually sitting on them or in the pool. **The website you go to for making dinner reservations is awful. You have to log in at 7:00am to get a reservation. Not 7:02, exactly 7am. It sells out by 7:02. Even though the ap says "log in at 7:30". You also cannot make reservations in person. So, there are only a few restaurants, other than the buffets, to choose from if you want a sit down meal (and missed the reservation window)"

"The beds are not comfortable. The food was ok. The pools and access to the beach are decent, very kid friendly. Gym was bigger than expected. Door maintenance issue that happens with battery powered lock, just poor timing for us. The restaurant staff is very helpful and friendly. Might be harder to communicate for poorer spanish speaking groups. We enjoyed our stay but have had better experiences. "

"This hotel was super clean with great amenities..food was all very tasty...drinks were strong...our room was always cool and our pool was heated wich is always a plus...shows and d.j every night and a club to dance at..would recommend to anyone"
