The hotel could use some upgrading and there is a huge construction site going on right next door. The food is okay but not amazing. The beach and sea access are not the greatest. I could see how it could work for some but we wouldn't go back.

4-night trip

6/10

The AC in both rooms was too loud and the fan did not have to option to select the speed. In general, the service is decent however the hotel should consider managing a reservation system for the dinners instead of having huge lines just waiting to see if you can make it.

Great All inclusive resort
3-night trip

10/10

Every facet of our stay was amazing! Super clean, beautifully maintained grounds, amazingly welcoming staff, excellent food choices. I’d recommend and would definitely return in a heartbeat. Many people there were laid over due to travel/weather interruptions and the resort kept working hard to accommodate them. We had a door issue but they had staff show up at midnight to reprogram the door lock, very impressed with the response. Perfect home away from home
