Beautiful resort, grounds are kept nice, and rooms are nice. Staff was not friendly, little variety of foods and quality was poor, little to no activities. I had a room with a jacuzzi and only half of the jets worked, called front desk and after a hour wait maintenance did come but wasn’t able to fix it. They wanted to move us to another room but after being settled in that room for a few days we didn’t want to move. We asked could we be compensated in some other way and they said, no. I would not go back to this resort.

For the most part the staff is ok, could be much more attentive to the customer, the big LED in the theatre is broken, only half of it works which is really pathetic, some lights at night are not working at all, for the most we had a good time but there is room for more.

I love this resort. It’s my first time going there with family. From check in with Carlos who treated us very well to the rooms being cleaned everyday by Angela . The food is amazing we had great severs like Katherine. Everytime we went to the pool the bartenders Alejandro and Edison were so nice and attentive. The entertainment in the resort was great , Eric aka Coca Cola was always happy and attentive to the customers. It was my birthday weekend and they all made my birthday special. I definitely recommend this resort .
