The staff was excellent. Customer service is their most valuable asset in the resort. The resort itself is a bit run down and could use a lot of work. The bedrooms are very basic and the beds are super uncomfortable. There is no channels on the tv or room service which is a disadvantage for families with small children.

This resort was clean, had friendly staff and we had an overall good experience. Only downside was, depending on which hotel you stayed at within the resort, you only had 1 buffet option to eat all for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beds were supper uncomfortable and tv only speaks Spanish with 2 channels. Otherwise, good experience

The stay was extravagant; the à la cartes were great, the room was spacious, the excursions were executed very well, and the workers are very nice. If you cannot speak spanish, they accommodate for those who speak english as wel. The only downsides was the pressure of the water in the hotel rooms shower, and the buffet (similar items everyday). Regardless, the hotel itself is great, the beach is wonderful and getting around the resort is very simple with the shuttles they have that drive you to your destination (depends on the shuttle you get on)
