A nice place but could use some suggestions for improvement

We did enjoy ourselves at this resort but we don't complain much. There were a few things that you should know if you are planning on visiting. Perhaps the biggest issue would be that the food in the buffet needs to be warm. So many times we would get something that was cold so it would be wasted. Also, although there are plenty of drinks to choose from in the resort the drinks are definitely watered down. The rooms /beds were comfortable but rooms could definitely be cleaner as we noticed very dirty corners especially in the bathroom area. and our slippers were disgusting upon our return home. The good part of the resort were the day entertainers and the pool bar staff.They were all so friendly to us. The good part of the resort were the day entertainers and the pool bar staff.

Amazing people! Amazing resort! They go above and beyond to make your stay fabulous,especially Daneysis at the front desk(our favourite). She made sure I got the best of the best on a short notice. From the moment you arrive at the front gate,the first face you see is Manuel who is always smiling and makes you feel welcome. Everything is clean! Everyone is so friendly. From the staff at the Sports’s Bar where we get our morning coffee, to gardeners, servers, bellboys ,cleaning ladies, managers, security guards . They all make you feel like you are the part of the family. We came to this place first time a few years ago and Danny was the person that accommodated all our needs including decorating room with all the bells and whistles. It was so nice to see Danny again after many years working at another place. We have stayed at this place many times and we see so many improvements. There is plenty of choice of dining and food is amazing. Especially the Dinner on the beach is amazing ! We can’t wait to return again as we are treated like home royalty. Our home away from home. And of course,when you leave resort you are going to see Manuel smiling and waving at you wishing you bon voyage. 15 out of 10!!!
