The staff was excellent! We were treated very well. This is an older property but well maintained. The only concern is that the pool didn't stay clean. Maintenance seemed to be working on the pumps and electrical the entire week we were there but didn't seem to get it resolved.

Very beautiful resort but some things weren’t great. For instance, I called before going to make dinner reservations and you can’t do that until you check in and then all the reservations were taken so we had to eat at the buffet every night. Also, they have people trying to sell you spa packages and time share type things which is super annoying. We were swimming in the pool and I had to actually tell a guy to leave us alone quite sternly because he asked us 3 times to come to the spa and then just stood over us. Immediately after a woman came and asked us. People go on vacation to enjoy themselves. That wasn’t enjoyable. It began at check in and I was saying I was tired and hungry and they were forcing me to agree to come to some time share thing the next morning. I then was like, “we just want to go relax in our room and eat” and we woke up to a letter under our door saying to meet that man at 10am.. I would have no issue paying a little more for this resort if they left us alone! It’s beautiful! Raise your prices so you don’t need to harass people haha I would happily pay them!

We had 19 people with us and none of us could ever get into a restaurant. There were no openings the entire 5 days for parties of 2?? The shows were mediocre and the buffet was okay. The beach was nice but no one coming around to take drink orders. It was a nice place but needs some upgrades and better services.

The property is huge. We walked 3-5 miles a day with kids and an elderly mother. Part of us stayed in a hacienda and part in the family hotel section. The bad part is the reservations for alternate dining. We only got in two reservations for only 2 of us out of 11, no matter how we tried. Did not know what the gold bands meant to my husband and I or where we could go with them, not explained. And the grandkids staying in our hacienda had blue. Didnt make sense to let us go one way and not the kids. The beach was awesome and overall the family vacation was good. There will always be some downfalls.
