Ponce Vacation
The hotel was beautiful. Ameneties we average. Most of the bars weren't open. Check in staff were very friendly and helpful. Beach area needs major improvement. Rooms were very nice, clean & the beds were comfortable. Staff in restaurants weren't always friendly or helpful and the food was way overpriced. Also, it is recommended to rent a car I your staying here. A taxi ride from the air port to the hotel can run you up to 140.00. They do have a lot of activities for younger children such as mini golf, basketball, playground etc. You can also take a quick shuttle to costa caribe which has another bar area, & poool area that's more for adults.

Mosquitoes Galore!!!!!
Resort grounds are okay, but needs a little more attention to cleanliness (specifically pool- mold). Claims of live entertainment are none existent. The resort has a serious problems with pest control. There are mosquitoes every where except the guest rooms. Outdoor eating was frustrating and uncomfortable due to the lack of pest control. When asked what was being done about the mosquitoes problem, i was told that OFF spray was available for the guests. I had to find a pharmacy that sold Benadryl and hydra Cortizone to deal with the horrific bites I encountered at this resort.

Fun for the family
Went for a long weekend trip with the kids. Enough for them to do and the staff was extremely helpful and sweet. Negatives: - No lifeguard at the pool area, have gone to hotels with them and the experience at the pool was much more pleasant with their presence. - No gift shop in the hotel, big no-no if you want to purchase anything. - Parking is NOT FREE, so if you have a car, get ready for the bill on check-out. - Complimentary breakfast given if you stay in the Executive Tower BUT not given when booked online [...](Found out the hard way)

Great Family Getaway
Great Golf course, 27 Holes of challenging fairways surrounded by Water. Two pools to choose from and two beachfronts (Main Hotel and Country Club). Plenty activities for kids, like Tennis for kids, mini golf (very rustic, but it works), kid swings, slides, ping pong and other activities. Main lobby is kinda old, but rooms are nice. Casino on property.

spring break vaca
Overall, the hotel is beautiful, however, the staff is not too friendly. The staff is very cut and dry and is reluctant to engage en causal conversation. My partner and I went for several days for a lil get away and found ourselves hanging out with more the locals outside of the hotel. The hotel has several restaurants, however, good luck getting foob after 11am unless its room service, as apparently it was too late 4 bkfst and too early for lunch. The 1 restuarant that serves bkfst stops at 11, everything else opens at 12. The food is over price for the service and quality. After coming back from sight seeing, we tried to get a drink at the bar by the pool and found ourselves waiting for a waiter who never came to the table. After I flagged him down and gave him my order, I waited another half hour and got the wrong drink, had to go to the bar myself to change to drink..... Waiter never acknowledged anythinh. Your best bet is to rent a car, get a map, and eat locally.
