“Excelente lugar!!! La calidez de la gente es increible, muy bien cuidados del Covid tambien. Lo recomiendo. Es enorme, como una ciudad, es mas parecido a un Country. Tiene un restaurant general, que es buffet y esta siempre abierto. Luego tiene varios tematicos: Sensei es Japones, Il Mascheratti es Italiano, El bodegon es de carnes estilo argentino, Route 66 es fast food, Margarita es Mexicano, Blue Moon es frances y solo para parejas. Por el Covid es solo con reservas a la mañana temprano y hay poca gente. La comida de primera calidad, el lugar extremadamente limpio. Los bares estan por todos lados. Hay una guarderia que cuida a los chicos con mucho cariño, las chicas son divinas! Las piletas son enormes y extremadamente limpias. La limpieza y comodidad de las habitaciones es excelente.”

“Pretty good experience overall, but i would not repeat the vacation at the same resort. The water is always warm, the sun, palm trees and sand are all beautiful. Most important negative is the beach which is naturally full of algae, despite the barriers and their efforts, we were still going into the water in front of the other resorts, to the left or right, because of the algae and the barriers for the algae which were like large obstacles in the way. In the promotion pictures this is not as advertised. The room was pretty nice, but everything was barely working. The A/C worked good, but had a bad smell, the door locks, had functioning difficulties, clunky and noisy, woke us up to open a door, the jacuzzi was barely working, maybe 1 or 2 nozzles were strong enough to feel an effect, the rest were just puffed, but i was told this is normal functioning, twice. The personnel are trying their best to accommodate you, but will also try to cheat you out of your money, every chance they get. Also, some of them, sometimes they cross the line and are also, sometimes impolite, despite always smiling and their forced (over)friendliness. The food is good enough, but they are stingy with the good bits, which i liked (guacamole, nutella, some fruits, etc.) were available just theoretically, for about 5% of the guests, some things i never could find, or got just once, dining there twice a day, over more than ten days! It gets a bit frustrating trying to get the things they wave in front of you day after day after day, every day of your vacation, even asking for them is not working... leaves a bitter taste. Pizza, pasta, omelette and fish stands were very good almost all the time, so all good here. The second worst negative is the fact that in every weekend, the locals were allowed into the resort for the weekend. the atmosphere takes a turn for the worst, and that is to say the least.”
