Probably the best hotel I have ever stayed at. And that says it all. You have everything you need. Private beach with bar, 4 different pools, activities all day for adults, buffé is amazing and the à la carte is Magic. The all inclusive is a 24/7. so you have snacks and drinks in the lobby bar all night. I would really recommend this hotel. Well worth 250 USD per night/person. With 100% paid that price again.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were so pleasant and friendly, the room was spacious and so clean. The service was fantastic, sometimes in big resorts the quality of service can slip but that was not the case here. The food was amazing and lots of variety every day. Plenty of choice of pools so was never too crowded and the beach front is lovely. I can’t wait to come back.

If you want a big big tourist machine with no personality and terrible front desk service this is for you. 5 star hotel with 1 star service. Their gourmet restaurants have beautiful surroundings with blend food. Lobster are way overcooked. We had 8 nights and they said they would upgrade our room after 4 days. When the day came they had forgotten every. Even closed our dooryards. Stay away from this place. It is crowded everywhere.

Clean clean room! Good food but… something to know, they offered an upgrade from partial ocean view to full ocean and the bed was two doubles pushed together and no king size sheets so sleeping together was not an option comfortably… huge disappointment. When we asked staff to at least put king size blankets so we could share the covers they did not. Huge disappointment but if sleeping together isn’t an issue this place was really nice. They didn’t have all the drink options available but staff was friendly and pleasant
