Samantha, the Expedia concierge lady, was more than helpful. She assisted with all our needs, including towels, ala carte bookings and everything between. She was always cheerful and ready to help. The staff in general was very good, although the room steward didn’t keep our room amenities full(coffee, fruit or facial tissue).

Good food, friendly staff, great connection to nature. Any haters on hear saying otherwise have unreasonable standards or an axe to grind for some reason. Waterpark was fun for the kids, evening shows were good. Definitely reccomend the cutural fire ceremony. We booked theough expedia so used the concierge service to book a la cart meals, which we heard fill up fast if using the resorts "app" (actually a web portal) I would visit again but probably for l9nger than our 1 week stay.

We loved the resort and our concierges, Judy and Samantha were the absolute best. As soon as we arrived, they got us booked in for all the a la carte restaurants which were incredible! The resort is clean and well maintained. The rooms are very comfortable with a giant jug of filtered water. The beds are comfortable. The food at the buffets had enough variety to satisfy a family of 8 with picky kids. The nightly entertainment was insane! So good! Drinks at the various bars were great, and the waitressed will even come around to the beach to bring you drinks as well. We were well taken care of and would absolutely recommend this resort.

Check in took about an hour. Room was clean. Our room didn’t have hot water the first day until we called maintenance and taught us the “trick” to get hot water running. Food and activities were good. No room service unless you were royal elite. No liquor in room just beer, soda and water. Overall great resort. We had a concierge that reserved restaurants and those were great. Beach and pools were nice.

The resort is great for families with the available activities and sheer size of the place. Plenty of restaurant options. That being said, it is very competetive to get the reservations. Expedia personnel are quite helpful in confirming your bookings, but you have to fine your Expedia representative on the resort and communicate via WhatsApp. It’s a major help. The noise transfer in the rooms was a bit of an issue. You can hear neighbouring rooms quite clearly and the maid service in the morning was very loud. We didn’t sleep in once unfortunately. The rooms themselves are cozy. Don’t expect comfortable showering experiences unless you are ok with cold water. The hot water never makes an appearance. Warm water during odd times in the day. The size and amount of people on the resort makes it impossible to enjoy a warm shower. The check in and check out lines are an absolute disaster. There is a guide for the desk, but hoards of people just stand in front of the desk and then there’s two lines when there should only be one. Employees did not enforce any kind of structure at all. I spoke to some people that spent 3 hours simply trying to check in for their vacation. They need to get the lines in order because that was a poor START and FINISH of the vacation.
