The place was good it was clean and food was better than expected. Very unhappy about the spa. In the rooms it says book online for the spa. I did just that booked online throu the resorts app. Received and time date and amount owed for services credit card on file. I arrive with my friend looking forward to a day at the spa. Was told upon arrival our online booking didn’t count as a reservation and is just a “suggestion “ but not a reservation but I had a screen shot of booking and time and date. Spa attendant was rude not helpful said no openings for days. Now I see why no one goes to the spa there very disappointing first vacation without my 4 kids in 9 years and couldn’t even enjoy a spa day with my friend.

It is above the average property and 3.5 star at best. We had an expensive sunglasses stolen from deep hidden in the luggage when we were not in the room. The liquor quality was cheap and honestly so was the price of stay. You could have upgrade for mor money. The partial ocean view upgrade was a joke! Donot do it. The Italian restaurant was bad. The Asianone was good. The buffet was very good. The room was very basic and service was inadequate. There was no room cleaning every day unless you asked for it not just by the sign on the door but by asking for it in person. The TV ib room was awkward to use and useless as the in room telephone withnno directory to dil even the front desk!
Clean room, lovely staff (Lutty at the pool bar and Carmen at breakfast were absolutely the best), and good food! The only thing i don’t like is that out of our 6 day stay, we were not able to go to the steakhouse! They allow elite members to make reservations only and then everyone else can only go as soon as they open. If you’re not there at 530pm you will not be going and that’s unfortunate and unacceptable. They need to come up with a better system to make sure that everyone is able to go.
It was a great resort overall for the price point. The only negative, because it is an all inclusive, is young people drink way too much and got annoying. One person threw up in the pool bar & the next day all over the patio next to the pool.
This was the cleanest resort I’ve been to. The staff are professional and do their job with pride. The restaurants were first class. Housekeeping was the absolute best! Surprised but so pleased the resort was amazing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Property was clean people was very nice just would have like to go in beach water
Loved the food and the ocean view. Did not like the loud noise at night and the party scene. Was looking for a quieter getaway for a 20 year wedding anniversary.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The first day I arrived to this hotel. One of the workers walked in while both my wife and I were undressed. He didn’t knock or anything and just walked in our room.
