My son didnt want to leave the kids club Thanks to staff for making parents feel safe leaving kids there and had so much fun. I recommend the kids club for parents needing a break. Thanks to Pamela , Yoselin and Eli
Ok but mostly one and done

This is no 4 star resort. 3 at best. If you get a good price it's ok. If you have stayed at any 4 star resort this one will likely be one and done. Cons: -NOT enough loungers. Not by pools or beach. 30% of people lay on ground. Waking up at 6am to get lounger is the only way to get one. Any review that says otherwise must have been there at a very slow time. Half of loungers should be retired. -food is OK. Buffet was very repetitive and ok food. Breakfast was the best but lacked potatoes. -lots of walking. 20k steps a day and not by choice. Everything so far away. -entertainment was poor for such large resort. Pros: -fairly well maintained -rooms were good and clean and good beds - shopping near by -À la carte were good. -staff very friendly. -. Beach is good bit of coral but no issues.
