    Overall great experience

    Overall, Great stay. The hotel is very nice, weather was amazing, 90 and sunny everyday. Not many people at the resort I guess its considered down season. Staff was very friendly. They had entertainment every day. The food at the restaurants was amazing. The buffet was not very good though. It seemed to be the same options everyday. I would definitely recommend. I had a great time with the family. They do offer excursions at the concierge desk its just not advertised like how it is in Mexico. They had fun options for families and couples.

    We would go again

    Overall, we liked the hotel very much. Some the food was excellent--possibly the best we have had at an all-inclusive . The staff was very helpful. However, there were only three restaurants plus the buffet. I wish there had been more food choices. There is a free shuttle to the old town.

    The staff were great.

    Daniella was amazing. We went for my husband, my brother, my cousin and our friend's birthdays, we had an awesome time. I would love to see more entertainment. The italian restaurant was the only one that provided better tasting food. We are planning on going back again next year for our anniversary, and hope to see some improvements.
