Property was beautiful, but the room furnishing and condition of the bathroom could be updated if this is to be 5 stars. There was mildew on the shower walls that I couldn’t unsee while taking a shower and the couch in the room looks basic for 5 stars.

This property was very beautiful however, I would alert potential guest that in order to receive the full experience you should book reservations at the restaurants ahead of time or else you will be forced to eat at the same restaurant buffet every day and will not have access to your full all inclusive dining experience During our stay there were all there were also rolling blackouts between the times of 10 PM to about 4 AM. The staff was hospitable and we booked the ocean view suites with the whirlpool and it was very beautiful. No complaints as far as aesthetics. there are a surplus of private vendors on the resort beach who are quite persistent so that is something to be wary of as some may find that annoying. I truly believe you will not receive better customer service and hospitality at another resort everyone was so kind and so helpful I would return. I would just make sure that I book in advance for the restaurants and other activities.
