So so

We're here right now, hopefully after 1 day stuck in room vomiting and 2 days of toast, I will be able to enjoy the rest of the week. The food : under cooked/ over cooked. Take your pick. Variety is great, taste very personal, but we've had way better food at RIU. For kids there is a very limited menu. Kids are kids, where's the KD ? The pools : clean, very enjoyable. Kids pool : like a waterpark for the little ones, just awesome. To bad it has no shade at all, and it's 30 degrees right now. The staff : just wonderful, working very hard, and very friendly, kudos to them. Washrooms: theater washrooms and front bar washrooms...stinks and dirty, rest were fine. Beach : beautiful with nice clean sand and lots of trees for shade. Ocean : bring shoes, coral is sharp, but once over the rocks you're fine. A bit of sea weed, that's just a bonus. Not very many people swimming in the ocean, definitely no kiddos. Here's your sign. We are here scooping out the place for our upcoming large family vacation this fall with quite a few young ones. Don't worry, we won't be here.
Food was horrible, resort was nice enough. Definitely NOT a 5 star anything.

Huge resort. Lots of things to do. Food was easily the worst I've ever experienced at any mexico hotel. The actual grounds were very nice and well kept. Our room was awful, run down, the doors on the main console were falling off lol. Only a single plug on the bed side. Thankfully, we brought extension cords. Staff were all wonderful. And outside our room, things were well kept. We had talked to a lot of people and we didn't meet a single one that thought the food was good. Even the ala carts were awful. Cold, undercooked/overcooked. Whatever you do, don't go to the lunch Buffett at the tropical pool. The worst food at the entire 4 resorts. Just horrible. Too far from the airport as well..will never go back.

Had another great trip! Weather cooperated and we had great days enjoying the sun, beach and pool. A tad warmer at the pool than last year, however all was good. What a great resort to relax at.
Excellent

Nice hotels, food, beach, everything was amazing. Rooms very clean, with everything you need. Amazing evening entertainment. Fresh food, diverse options. Nice pools, nice beach
OK but will not visit again.

The staff that make the omeletts were so nice. Also the housekeeping was really nice. But to run to the beach 7 in the morning to get a chair is only stressful.
