Resort is beautiful with several pools and accessible bars by the pool side. Rooms are clean, the washroom just needs some updates and a bit more cleaning. The buffets are amazing but the an la cart menus at the restaurants need a bit of work. Staff very friendly.

The building is in poor condition, rooms requires lots of work; shuttle is needed for beach and main pool access (long walk from some buildings); beach was poorly cleaned from seaweed; food was average; drinks/juices were all artificial tasting; pools were clean but as usual seating was limited from people saving spots; shows were really late.

Property is clean, but very outdated. Housekeeping only cleaned our room once and we were there for 4 days. Staff was very accommodating and nice! Food I would say below average! Comparing to other resorts in the area! But you’re getting what you pay for!

4/10 Fair

Iv been to several all inclusive properties in a few countries, BB is by far the absolute most aggressive in selling their timeshare ..rebranded as vacation club. We said no to attending and our “ concierge “ said we would be helping him out with commissions etc and it was not a timeshare, and it would only be 90 minutes so being nice we set up for 9am the next day, this sales pitch went on for 4 hours even after telling them no, then they amp up their aggression and wanted us to buy into almost 20$k with a 1700$ payment immediately in which the sales guy said and I quote “ 1650$usd is nothing to you , I travel in pesos and I can do that” . We eventually had to become angry and rude in which I said to him “ I’m done and we are walking out this door”. Make no mistake, ur nobody to them if you say no. The lobby has no AC and no fans, it is a literal hell on earth with heat, we felt sorry for the staff working in there. The staff ( minus the sales staff) was very kind very polite and helpful. This property is enormous and you will wait 25/30 minutes for golfcart ppl to come around , and they do their best but on 2 golfcarts running for the entire property. It is a 25/30 min walk from the back buildings and pool to the lobby and to buildings serving dinner. The food was good and food staff were excellent. Also be ready for all kinds of animals, snakes , coati, raccoons, massive iguanas. We won’t be returning. Stay was from 6/23/2026 - 6/30/2026

A lot of complaints from other guests about building 6 7 and 8 about mould and mildew in their rooms. When they asked to be switched to different rooms they were charged between $700 to $900. The food at the buffets were subpar, Beach was terrible, booze seemed watered down. I would not recommend staying here. Had much better experiences in Cuba of all places. This resort is rated as a 5 star. 2 star is what I would give. The only positive mention for this resort is the amazing staff!
