“We had an amazing vacationValue to money is hugePrice included all inclusive , transportation, pool parties for adults only and water parkCheck in/out - the lowest point of the resort review , make sure you get a room closes to the entry , otherwise very noisy.The entertainment team are amazing , Joel and other were just fun.Beach is full of seaweed but they try to keep it cleanSeveral pools to choose from, depend on the quiet/fun level you wish to getAlcohol is not top shelf but it did the job!!!As for food , The buffet is really good for breakfast, lunch and dinnerThey have specialty restaurants but from some reason they are hiddenEat at Ole the Spanish located in the far end of the resortKulinarium a’ la carte located next to to kids club , just be aware it’s a long dinnerYou can skip the Mexican and the Asian !!!Also don’t wait in line for the steakhouse, as you have to be there at 5pm, wait 45min and hope to get a table , doesn’t worth it !!!Kids club is mainly for young one, and only open 10:30-12:30 and 2:30-5They do extend hours when the night pool party is on for 2 more hoursA program for teens is missingThe pool parties are the cherry on the icing. I been to several one, but unlike Vegas, the alcohol is free, which make the difference. The party is insane.”

“Our room was horrible, so bad that we couldn’t even stay in it for an hour. We went straight back to the desk and changed our room for several hundred dollars more, we upgraded to the Jr. suite. The room that we first received was dirty, the walls were stained with questionable residues. The sheets had holes, the light fixtures were falling off the walls, it honestly made me want to vomit, it was worse than a cheap motel. The Jr suite was a necessary upgrade (see pics below) I would rate the new suite 3 stars at best but it was much nicer than the first room. The resort itself needs an update, the red/black/ purple/ orange decor is outdated. The service is the only reason that I give this 2 stars. The food is HORRIBLE; there was no seasoning at all, the food tastes like absolutely nothing. Beware of solicitors on the beach, it was extremely annoying and we got scammed out of money because a guy would not leave us alone after taking pics with some parrots and a monkey. The beach is useless with the seaweed that crowds the water. I recommend bringing your own reusable cup, after seeing where the resorts end up.. (trash bins, pool etc). Overall probably my least favorite vacation.”
