    Rocky beach . Don’t come if you are a beach family

    If you are a beach person and like to go in the water don’t come here. I know you will think I am exaggerating but I am not. I have only been here a couple of hours and would like to leave. I honestly don’t know what my teenage son who loves to snorkel is going to do . We are going to have to plan excursions (which we’re not planning on ) . I know I sound like I am being overly dramatic but I am not. I can’t imagine how my week is going to be. Not at all like I planned. Terribly disappointed on day 1.

    Disappointed

    We arrived and our room was not ready, which we expected. Once it was ready, at 3pm, we waited for over an jour for our bags. Once we called to say they weren't there, they were sent quickly. The rooms are spacious beds comfortable, good bathroom, however dark. We opted for a swimout, which looked nice but it was cold. All of the pools were too cold to enjoy. There was water aerobics/water zumba posted every other day, however it never took place. I'd wait at the pool, no announcement, no excitement at all. Very disappointing! There is no music playing, nothing happens. This was the most boring resort we've ever visited, hands down! If you don't have children with you, you can visit the El Dorado, where they have a band at 8-9;40, then entertainment at 10. This was enjoyable. They also have a few bars with people! The bar at Generations usually had 0 to 4 people in it. There us no " lobby bar". The beach was another huge disappointment. There are cement barriers dropped all along the whole resorts, it's rocky and not very swimmable. The beach itself it kept clean. The food, well I have to say much better than most resorts. Generations, again very limited, but the a la carte restaurants were pretty good. Some great servers, Alberto (takes care of the privileged area on the beach), very nice guy. He brought us drinks a few times. Thus was the only time we were ever offered a drink on the beach ir at the pool. Zero service other than Albert. Jeremias in the buffet was very personable and attentive. Good often cold. Our stay was with Air Canada vacations. The pick ip and drop off was excellent, we had great service. Our complaint is geared towards the resort. Our flight was a late one and therefore pu was at 7pm. There was no hospitality room although the place appeared to be nowhere close to capacity. They charged us ,$20.00 US pr hour to keep our room until 5, then said we had to check out. They said if we ate at the resort, we'd have to pay for another night! Wow, really poor service we don't make the times for flights or pick up, so rude service. This was so disappointing, definitely not close to a 5 star as advertised.

    Do Not stay at this resort

    This was the worst hotel i have stayed at. I would not recommend this for families or couples at El Dorado Resort. Always running out of food and closing. Golf carts were so spotty. One would wait for 1 hour to get one. Service poor, food quality was bad, including buffet choice. I would rather have went to the Moon Palace resort. No room service, No iron, and room smelled of mildew. Overall really bad resorts.

    We are happy we chose Generations for our wedding anniversary

    My wife Yolla and I visited Generations for our wedding anniversary. We both were pleasantly surprised with the Generations cleanliness, the exceptional service starting from Vanessa at the front desk, to Silvia our concierge, Primo, another concierge, the room cleaning staff, the servers (waiters) at all restaurants and the delicious food. Even the Bellboy showed up on time for our check out without us needed to call for him. The option of having à la carte dinners at all restaurants including the adjacent adult resorts is a big plus. Every time we thought a server (waiter) at a restaurant was good, we met another server (waiter) at another restaurant that was as good if not better. We also appreciated that all staff spoke perfect English. We hope to see you soon.
