Such a beautiful resort with wonderful amenities! We'd absolutely return! We loved the private island, pools, waterpark, live music, pool tables, coffee shop, and restaurants. The room was very clean, grounds well taken care of, and staff so nice and helpful! It's a large resort but was quick and easy to get around. Lots of restaurant options but food is a little pricey. This is a resort you come to, park your car, and just enjoy everything it has to offer without needing to leave. You'll enjoy every minute, make incredible family memories, and love the ocean views...just book it, you won't regret it!!

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.

Location of our room was fantastic! Beautiful views. Ferry every hour to a beach on a close island. Long walk to where you park your rental car. They do have a golf car transport if you want. Walk no issue for us. Staff were friendly and nice. Room cleanliness not so great. No one answers the phone if you call from the room phone. Again, we did not need it. But called once to ask a question and no one answered.

This Hotel is at best MEDIOCRE. Looks like it hasn't been renovated in a long time. The pool that looks so great in the reservation photo has been abandoned. My room was overlooking that pool and it was shut down and everything around blackened with dirt and mold. It might be great for golfer because of the golf course, but other than that it is overpriced. Crazy atmospher with kids screaming all over the place. Rooms very basic although I booked a Luxsury Suite with direct waterfront or waterview a million miles up the hill.

If you stay I would recommend staying up by lobby and restaurants NOT down by waterpark it’s not worth it.. to far and not much down there other than the park that closes at 6pm. I would also recommend valet parking experience was great service employees for that were quick and sweet. Food was okay but totally recommend other food outside the resort. Would I stay again yes but do it a totally different way next time around.
