We truly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were great, and the property was exceptionally clean and in excellent condition. We also appreciated that it’s possible to stay removed from the party areas and enjoy a more relaxed vacation. One small note, the room doors could be a bit quieter. Additionally, there’s some room for improvement in the themed restaurants, particularly in terms of food quality and service.

Amazing resort with lots of choices of pools, bars, restaurants, locations to hang out or be active. Staff are incredibly responsive and kinds. Only problem was limited selection of wines or champagne or Prosecco. Great if you like lots of mixed drinks but not so much if wine is your preferred drink.

Room was not cleaned very well. Staff was friendly. Buffet was pretty good. The À la carte restaurants weren’t as good as we were expecting especially the steakhouse food it was very dry. Resort was awesome a lot of pools and 3 swim up bars. Also right on the beach so that was a plus.

Property was VERY large and fun. The clubs and foam parties were amazing. The walk up to the beach and ocean was amazing. The only issues with most resorts is that the food and drinks (alcohol and non alcoholic) is very sub par . I got so tired of eating the same tasting food. I was so over it. But other than that I would def recommend staying here again

Over all experience was great, a lot of activities to do, multiple pools and bars. Distance between destinations was a bit long but manageable, resort is very big not crowded. breakfast and dinner were great but lunch, Not so much. By day 3 I was over the repetitive food options. Also only 2 types of beers included, dos x and a light beer-brand name unknown. On the 3rd day I got food poisoning. Ruin my final day and travel time was horrible.

First things first, this hotel is NOT adults only. Various pool around the hotel, the best COLD ones were by the volleyball area. The infinity ones overlooking the beach had very hot water. Entertainment staff were the best, very friendly and engaging. Food wise.. Horrible buffet style. I was under the impression there were dinner restaurants and there was a waitlist just to find out it was buffet style. Some waiters were not the greatest as we would have to ask several times to be refilled with water.
