Dec 29, 2025Real talk Review
This is a very family oriented resort - young family specific. The pool area isn’t huge- it’s narrow. Swim up bar is not connected to the main pool which is a pain. Playing ball toss in the pool is bound to splash or hit someone so do with caution. Smaller resort which is nice for convenience. “Teen club” is more for kids. This is not a “teen” friendly resort - very tailored to smaller kids. Daily entertainment is lacklustre. LOTS of Zumba…. Little else. Rooms are nice and big- lots of space to move around - we even got a roll away bed so each kid had their own place to sleep with standard room. Resort is clean and nice. No issues there. Beach is crap - avoid this resort if that is what you are into. They have crocodile warning signs and the beach itself is small and not appealing with lots of seaweed and a tractor that goes back and forth all day. Nightly vibe is decent- there are different options which is nice so you aren’t stuck watching a show if you don’t want to. Lobby music was great overall- loud if you plan on going to bed early though as it echos through the resort until 11. Italian restaurant is the best one- don’t waste your time at the Asian one - it’s literally gross as is the Mexican one (yes they messed up Mexican food). Buffet is big, lots of options, overall good just gets tiring after so many days. Bars are good across the resort, they know how to make a drink! Service doesn’t come with a smile unless you tip EVERY time you get something which is annoying especially by the pool or beach.the beach/pool bar people will just ignore you altogether for the most part. Sales people are petty - all or nothing. Avoid the 2 hour sales pitch and just pay the extra money otherwise it’s just cut eye and cold shoulder the rest of your trips not worth saving $250 unless you are cool with that stuff. (They say 90 mins but close to 3 hours for us). Lazy river and slides are all shaded- so on non sunny or hot days it’s a little chilly. It’s also VERY windy here so the hot hot heat isn’t really there. Was a red flag the whole time we were there meaning no water activities = boring! No one swam much either - most people stayed in the pool as the seaweed was extreme. Would I go back? Probably not. Was it terrible? Hardly. Just not for us personally.

Peaceful as kids got entertained all the time. Miguel was amazing
Kids entertainment was amazing both at the explorer club and by the team in the pool. Recommend for families and friends with small kids. There was also 8 restaurants apart from the buffet, lots of options

Dec 28, 2025Terrible food...impossible to get a sun lounger...not 5 star in a million years...never going back
This hotel markets itself as a five-star resort, but the reality is closer to an overcrowded, poorly managed three-star at best. It was not worth the money and we will never return. The room itself was acceptable on the surface, though even that fell apart on closer inspection. The bathroom doors for both the toilet and shower constantly slid open, offering zero privacy. Worse still, there was visible damage to the door with a hole in the glass and sharp exposed edges — completely unacceptable and frankly dangerous, especially in a family room with children. The food, however, was the real disaster. The buffet was overcrowded, chaotic, and consistently served cold, low-quality food. Meat was undercooked, basic pairings were missing, and getting a second drink was almost impossible due to overwhelmed staff. The à la carte restaurants were somehow even worse than the buffet, with laughably limited menus and food that was poor in both quality and execution. By the end of the stay, I was suffering from indigestion and acid reflux — something I can only attribute to days of eating this awful food. The pool situation was a complete farce. It was impossible to get a sun lounger, despite clear signage stating reserving loungers was not allowed. Guests ignored the rules from as early as 7am and staff did absolutely nothing to enforce their own policy. As a result, we were left sitting on the floor while our children used the pool. Completely unacceptable for a hotel charging premium prices. The so-called “Preferred” category was another example of misleading marketing. We booked Preferred based on the description stating it was suitable for couples and children, yet the Preferred pool did not allow kids at all. This made absolutely no sense. The adults-only sun terrace was little more than a few loungers dumped on a flat roof — unused, uninspiring, and clearly an afterthought. The layout of the resort was equally baffling. The Rendezvous Bar being placed in the lobby was strange enough, but it was essentially a wind tunnel, constantly battered by onshore winds. There was nowhere near enough seating for the number of guests, and it was poorly configured for the shows held there. The entire place felt cramped, badly planned, and overwhelmed. The kids club was passable at best, but even there standards slipped. On the first day, they managed to lose our four-year-old son’s clothes. Supervision was lacking, and staff did not adequately help him change in and out of swimming gear so he could participate fully in activities. Parents are given a buzzer that constantly goes off, forcing repeated trips back to the club — something that simply does not happen at better-run resorts like Club Med. Overall, this hotel is grossly overpriced, badly managed, and nowhere near five-star quality. Poor food, poor organisation, misleading descriptions, and zero enforcement of basic rules ruined what should have been a relaxing family holiday. Save your money and stay elsewhere.
