We really enjoyed our stay. We thought the food was pretty good. The beach and ocean are clean. This resort mostly caters to Spanish speaking guests but a handful of the staff could speak English. The beds were a bit small. We would go back!

Underground parking available. Very nice rooftop pool with adjacent bar I didn’t see mentioned in reviews. Great for families. Huge sandy, smooth, well-groomed beach. Very gradual and shallow slope, no weeds or rocks. Room was clean, staff very friendly. Food selection could be improved somewhat, but was still good. Great hamburger snack area right on the beach. Not crazy about the plastic reusable cups for drinks. Very quiet at night. True that lots of the patrons were Mexicans…not a problem at all. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. Lots of kids with parents and extended family. Would go back again. Thank you!

8/10 Very good

My room was simple but for my taste fabulous. Everyone is friendly. The main drawback was the skimpiness with supplies. No water is provided and only one cup of coffee to be made in the room without extra charges. Such small things that cost ao little add a lot to the experience and it is a bit miserly not to go that extra step. The breakfast is also quite limited beyond unhealthy options. Otherwise it's a gorgeous hotel.

Staff was nice. Food was average. Beds were hard as a rock. Drinks were fine. They do cater more to the locals. Proximity to the beach was nice and there are several restaurants close with really good food.

We did not have hot water in our shower, food options were horrible. Location was good as well as the maid and bartender service. We would not recomend this hotel due to the very limited and poor food choices.

We found the resort to not be as advertised. The staff was very good, but the accommodations were lacking.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Rooms were clean. Beds are rock hard no exaggeration. The fridges will keep you foods either frozen or Luke cool. Staff are decent. I thought the food was actually pretty good. A lot of different options. If you don’t like the food there are other options in the area. The pools are lacking small shallow and I’ve seen cleaner. Hotel needs to get with the times with the brackets and get rid of the room keycards. Had to have them rescanned probably daily. No adults only pools. Kind of a lack of security. Beach furniture needs replaced and updated. Make sure if you want all inclusive to pay before you get there. We missed the button and found out when we got there didn’t have all inclusive asked to upgrade and it would have cost us 1k American extra. For a budget friendly place it was adequate.

They had amazing staff but once we arrived to the room the door handle broke off. Also the showers had hair from the previous people that stayed in the room. The hallways that lead to our room were very humid and the whole inside building was just hot in general. I wouldn’t recommend.
Verified review

The property is very tired. The rooms almost shabby and skeevy. Pictures on Expedia look nothing like what property is today. Pool under reconstruction!! Really unappealing. Thank goodness the staff was helpful and friendly.
Verified review

6/10 Good

This property has very little to do except sit at the beach or pool (which is great if that is your preferred activity). Pools are small with limited seating. No night activities. Food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately there are not many restaurant choices. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There are paid restaurants within walking distance. The beach is clean with good seating options. The water has a lot of waves and not great for families with small children. No drink service or swim up bars
Verified review

6/10 Good

The location is excellent, bar service is good at the pool, very limited choice of drinks. Food is good enough to get by but far from excellent. The building is dated, ac in bedroom didn’t work, toilet plugged the first two days, lights are poor, only one plug in in the bedroom, cockroach’s in our sink and under fridge, key cards quit several times. I would probably look for another place rather than stay there again.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

I can honestly say I was truly disappointed in this booking. For the amount I paid for you would atleast expect fresh food. This place seemed like a ghost town. The hotel is way out dated. The staff was accommodating but this place is just not worth it. Take my advice, spend a few hundred dollars more and go stay somewhere where you won’t find dirty coffee machines and glasses in room and a place that will provide you with good atmosphere food clean and modern.

I would not reccomend this "resort". The rooms were moldy and uncomfortable. The food was the worst part though. It was not good and we ended up leaving the resort to eat meals. At one point they served me raw meat and when i brought it to their attention they did not care nd kept serving it to other guests. So after that we were wary to eat the food aside from it being really gross anyway. The people that worked at the resort were so nice though and the location is awesome.
