    We all had a good time.

    The concierge was wonderful. We were a group of 24. When we needed a bus with no hesitation we had a private bus. The staff by the pool was excellent, they kept drinks and food flowing. As far as the hotel, there were issues they could not accommodate 3 adults in one room. Without us paying more money. We had stayed a whole week with three people staying a couple of days extra and they were crammed into one junior suite. The hotel seem hungry for money our transfer from the airport to the hotel we had 20 people and paid for a big bus. But going back we only had 15 going back on the same day and required a smaller bus but we had to pay for the bigger bus again.

    Not a DREAM only a Nightmare

    This was the worst resort I have ever stayed at, if it wasn’t for the friendly non English speaking staff it’s only a 1 star. The food was horrible all four in our party had and still have stomach issues. Major flooding in the resorts, holes in ceiling.
