The one negative aspect of my stay was the room. The picture on app does not really match reality. The room is spacious, but windows are so dirty and stained that there is practically no view. Door handle very obsolete. The sink in the bathroom gives off a bad smell. This room definitely needs an upgrade.

Property was clean and centrally located so that was good. My problem is I paid for all inclusive but upon checking in at the property I was given guidelines stating I can only drink from 11am to 6pm anything outside of that I would be charged. Then the food in their dining room is not buffet as they advertised there is someone holding your plate and giving you portions not much option either. You have to declare that you want lunch or they won’t prepare anything for you. Dinner is suppose to be from 6:30pm to 9pm but we went for dinner one night at exactly 8:30pm and everything was cleared and packed away no food in sight. The worst part was asking for a bottle of coke at the bar and was told I have to pay for it because that was not included in the all inclusive package I purchased. I was shocked! Not even as much as a bottle of water in your room in fact the mini fridge as unplugged. The staff was friendly and tried their best but all in all would not recommend anyone paying for all inclusive just a property to sleep but there are lots of great restaurants in and around the area.
