Hotel very clean, Verry good food , staff plaisant , verry good localisation, Not a luxury hotel but a very decent hotel for the prixe I will go back for sur
Wonderful staff, very friendly. Food was good and plentiful. The place is long overdue for an upgrade. My sea view room window was dirty, and the frame was falling apart. Very cold, white room with no character. A/C in the room hardly worked.
very good hotel, delicious food and variety for all tastes clean great customer service and security front desk very busy place tour office staff is very helpful great information Indira 🏆🥇❤️ front beach 🏝️❤️
The room was clean and confortable and although we had an issue with the air conditionning, they promptly offered a différent room. The food was average. Drinks were OK however very difficult to get water and no fridge in the room.

Too many people on the hotel. Long lines to get food from the buffet or drinks or to get attended at the front desk.

All inclusive deals, but the bar was so limited and snacks .
Overall, it was a pleasant stay, we didn’t encounter any issues and the staff was friendly. This is an all inclusive, however, the liquor/ cocktail servings were really small, the food was well prepared but it wasn’t anything special. The price was low in comparison to the other hotels, so it was no surprise that it wasn’t as nice as the other places we have stayed before.

No hot water. Worst all inclusive ever. Only food was buffet. one very small bar with very limited alchohol served in a 6 ounce plastic. cup.Staff was very nice room was good, just not what you would expect from all inclusive.
Ac weak
Food all tastes the same. Really weird. No flavor. Everything
Busy place. Noise loud music regularly introduced to nauseate the environment
Snacks are when available and one bite size piece each.
Balcony room a positive
Very basic small almost too small room
The hotel is in very poor condition, needs lots of maintenance, has no Wi Fi, when we got to the room there was no towels, no bathroom tissue the Air conditioner is very, very poor! we are very disapointed in this place.

Everything was fine. Well, it is a three-star hotel. The only bad thing is that they don't have something different from the buffet. In the hotel description it says that there are two a la carte restaurants but my mom never saw them. My niece got her period and stained the bed and they wanted to charge her for changing the sheet. My mom washes it by hand.
They charged me for 3 towels for the fact that I stained the towels with washable hair dye. Treated me like some sort of criminal when I tried to leave. Front desk service was really unpleasant.

Facilities are quiet worn out and the rooms are very poorly maintained. We were moved 2 times. 1st a/c not working, 2nd beds were broken. Finally they gave us an upgrade to an ocean view however a/c was a bit low and the room kept getting warm specially during the afternoon times since the sun hit directly through the windows. Food was good, entertainment was good and the end we managed to have an ok stay at the hotel.
The AC was not working correctly and the never had enough towels. Food was very plain no taste and it look like they were over whelmed by the people.
Swimming pool was to small by the amount of people and very limited time to use the pool.
In all very bad choice for me and my girlfriend.
Please stay away from this place!!! This is not a real all inclusive. Poor customer service. Cockroaches on the room and bath room. Shower full of hair. Humidity on the wall and furniture and doors in bad conditions almost to fall down. Curtains falling down. Don’t waste your time and money on this hotel. Worst experience ever.
