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.

This is an all-inclusive resort. Nobody told us that the 5 restaurants on site required reservations. All of those reservations were booked the entire week the day we arrived. We were forced to eat at the same boring buffet day in and day out. This information should’ve been shared prior to our arrival. At least then we could’ve made reservations ahead of time. We were able to get in on a couple of cancellations, but this was a major dissatisfier. The concierge was unhelpful and provided little guidance and assistance with anything we needed help with. Also, the Expedia employee meant to give us our shuttle pass back to the airport was rude and unhelpful. I will never return to this resort with so many other great options to choose from.

The property was larger than expected. Although they did have transportation which was great for those with limited mobility. A disappointed we had was that the kids & family pool did not have a view of the ocean. The trees were grown up over top so you could not see the water. It would have been nice to have a view from those pools.
