We recently returned from a trip here and had a wonderful time. It seems to be a younger crowd but at the same time not a bunch of obnoxious partying. It had a very good, chill vibe. There are multiple dining options that were pretty good although some are closed on different days. The buffet is only open for breakfast and then there is a smaller beach buffet available for lunch. If you have been to all inclusive resorts before, the food is about what you would expect. It was no better or worse than the other places we have stayed at. Room service was quick and decent as well. I also don’t expect 5 star dining when I travel to all inclusives so my bar is set pretty low for food. Drinks were also about what you would expect. The staff are great and they do a lot to make sure you have what you need. I will say, and this is on hotel management and the owners, the room and pool definitely need some love. Everything was clean but it is definitely showing wear and tear for not being that old. Nothing was a deal breaker-just expected everything to be in better condition or more luxurious. For example, the couch in our room was snagged and pilling, wood was scratched, there were water marks on the wood, the pool had tiles missing or coming undone, etc. I realize I have pretty high standards for the rooms at places like this. All in all, I would stay here again and would recommend this to other people as long as you aren’t expecting top of the line rooms.

This property was well equipped with all the amenities and restaurants. There could have been some discounts applicable for people who do not drink. There could be more vegetarian options in desserts. The beaches could have been made clean and enjoyable which they were not. Some restaurants like lobster house, grill and Agave had poor quality food and the food was not great to match the expectations of El Carmen
