  Beautiful place, family friendly - Food not great

  Christmas time Pros: The beaches and pools where great. The rooms were clean, comfortable and cool. The drinks were good and generous with the alcool. Service is friendly. We always found beach chairs, whether on the beach or by the pool. The night entertainment was good, and you could eat pop corn on the beach whilst watching a movie. It's really a small children family resort, they seemed to have loved it, but I wouldn't suggest it to adult only. Cons: The buffets are not good. We dreaded having to have breakfast and lunch because: 1. everything is at child level so children can touch everything and even if they couldn't, 2. the food tasted bad except for some rare things (chicken was always a good choice) 3. No diversity, cold and old. 4. So much birds all around the buffet tables, it was a bit discusting. Stray cats and dogs where walking around us a diner time. (Apparently the are not "stray animals" but still, cats looking at you begging for food is not great) The "à la carte" restaurants where a little bit better, but a portion of the meal always seemed to be from the same kitchen as the buffet. I suggest the Asian place and the pasta place. The shower are spacious, but the shower head is stuck to the ceiling, so it's hard to rinse yourself. Overall we had a good time, but the food left us somewhat unhappy and we where excited to go back home...not the feeling you're supposed to have leaving vacations.

  Experience

  I enjoyed it a lot. The staff is really friendly and the activities are nice. The food at the buffet is okay. But not excellent

  Wedding was beautiful, customer service, outdated accommodations, rude locals. Will not return to this resort

  Front desk staff/manager was horrible to deal with. Tried getting my mother( mobility issues ) on the pool level. We booked as a wedding party of 26 people, they would not accommodate her. There was a shuttle we could call to get her around with a wait. Mostly Spanish speaking. Very little English, rude locals would cut in line at bars, front desk and buffet! Loved the weather and beach would definitely return to the area. Not here.

  Do not spend your hard earned money here!

  We are here. I am writing this quick review for people who are looking to buy tickets for the future. Do not spend your hard earned money on this. This was the biggest mistake we made in terms of travel. I will write a much detailed review in a few days. It is the fault of our travel agencies as well because it is advertised and sold to us as a 4 stars resort. Just had a conversation with someone in place of the manager (because today is Christmas day, there is no manager in charge) who told us clearly that there are no stars. This is just a place like a cantina or something. See attached pictures. This is lunch today, Christmas day.

  Was an ok resort not sure i would return tho!!

  First of all i have to say the resort was beautiful and clean. Some of my not so great experience here is that the stairs were allot at times especially in the rain, feel there needs to be more sinage on these stairs and i feel down 4 stairs in the rain. The bartenders had to much on their plates to provide fast efficient service waiting for drinks took 30 mins, especially on weekends an days the locals came in. entertainment staff tried their best but on the resort not many spoke english very hard to get around with out many english speaking. Shows at night had no english so we felt very out of place.
