el hotel está hermoso, las vistas más espectaculares que he visto en puerto Rico, la gente bien amable el personal de valet parking uno de los mejores que he tenido, pero la habitación que me dieron en las brisas estaba bien vieja, esos baños horribles, las sábanas todas manchadas y las toallas, el aire al principio no funcionaba, tienen que remodelar esas habitaciones con ducha nuevas y bellas y esas camas poner nuevas camas con martes nuevas y almohadas, pero de lo demás me atendieron las facilidades

This is a beautiful property with so much to do for families. I read some negative reviews and I’m surprised people were unhappy. I’m assuming it depends where your room was. We were in the marina near the waterpark and it was perfect. Palomino Island is great! I would definitely recommend it.

Food is average on a good day. Even though they seemed to have plenty of staff, service was generally slow at the restaurants. Do not select the breakfast buffet-not worth the $26/pp. The delays in getting your water and your check was absurd. The private island is okay—very crowded area as they have cut down on the space available to guests from several years ago. Resort itself is beautiful, but so are many resorts in the Caribbean. Not a value destination. If you have kids and adults who both want a break, good place because of the water park. Otherwise, not a good choice.

Property has nice scenic views. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Only thing is that it’s far from the airport. If you are going to stay in the resort throughout, then you are fine. But if you are going to venture out of the resort to major attractions, then be ready to pay at least $60 and up( one way fare) Food is pretty expensive in the resort and there are no microwaves to heat up left overs. Internet is terrible there, I had better network in the rainforest excursion I did.

Overall it is a very beautiful and clean resort. Our room had an ocean view and was very clean and modern. The pools were nice and the private island was very cool and easy to get too via the boat. The water park was also fun to spend a day doing. The layout was also very cool and unique. Essentially half the resort is located on top of a cliff and the other half is at the bottom which you access via an enclosed gondola of sorts. All of which has stunning ocean views. Everywhere you looked was amazing ocean cliff views which made for awesome photos. Here is what we didn't like. Essentially because of the location (an hour from the airport) you are forced to eat and spend most of your time on the resort. This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the very expensive prices and slow service. There are a lot of food choices on the resort, several sit down places, desert places, smoothie store, cafe and market to name a few. Most of which are all inclusive resort food quality but with the prices of fine dining. Our first night there we went to the taco bar by the pool, we both ordered the steak tacos which didn't come with anything and 1 frozen drink each. In total we spent over $70 and it took around an hour for a meal that was tiny and left us still hungry. After being there just 2.5 days we spent over $900 just on food, drinks and resort fees/tax for 2 people. $125 of which was us renting a bungalow on the island because all the beach chairs were taken when we got there.

We had a great time at this resort. Excellent service, comfortable accommodations, plenty to do within the resort and the access to a private island was a big plus. I only wish the resort offered shows. They did have nightly performers who did a good job of getting guests out of their chairs. I recommend this resort.
