Beautiful clean friendly resort and great food.
Barbara B on Mar 24, 2026
Went with a few family but I had a room to myself. I asked before going for a room on the ground floor and got room 1141 in building 1 at end of the hall so very quiet. Food was very good. Ate at the buffet and at the a la cartes. At 1st we could not get early reservations at 6:30 but Solange at guest services helped and got us a couple as we had small children. Beware security will remove your towels if you reserve early morning and you do not stay there. Not all the time but usually early morning at pool and beach. Room very clean, maids very nice. I would definitely go back. A shopping mall for souvenirs walking distance and medical clinic just past it. Enjoy
Disappointing in so many aspects

This resort needs many updates and more staff training and organization. It was very difficult to communicate in English with staff. Spanish speakers will get along better. Special dietary needs of gluten free were not easily met and difficult to communicate. Dining room service was hap-hazard, you may or may not be offered water or coffee. Towels were worn with rips and stains. Room servicing was irregular; staff would pick up towels but not replace for many hours. Bottled water was replaced every other day but as a separate visit. If anyone was napping it was very disruptive. One of our group lost his wrist band in a rocky water slide excursion and was forced to pay $100USD for a replacement. Pools are closed by 7pm. There are not enough pool chairs and many beach chairs are in poor condition. Evening entertainment was poor quality; children’s presentations or karaoke. Bar drink orders were not filled consistently; each time you ordered a drink you may be given a different version. An in-room binder/booklet of resort information may have been helpful. A beautiful clean beach with a lifeguard.
