Mar 27, 2026Amazing resort
Lovely relaxing resort with great poolside & evening activities. The Pacific Ocean beach is part of the property. It adds to the charm of the resort. The resort has great friendly staff - Katharine and Heidi taught us great aqua exercises. Heidi also taught us Salsa dance at The Disco. Kevin led Karoke singing. Will be definitely coming back.

Mar 21, 2026Couldn’t pay me to go back
Let me save you the time and money, do not come here. It is run down, everything is broken (door knobs, faucets, baseboards, railings, walkways), there was a family of raccoons living in the roof above our room. The food is unacceptable, we truly have not ever had such terrible food - it seems AI generated, and they serve and reheat the same stuff over and over again. Gordon Ramsay would burn this place to the ground. 6/9 of our group got food poisoning. Staff is hard to find, service at restaurants is mediocre at best. There is nothing to do at or around the resort. Check in was a disaster and took them 45 minutes to figure out which rooms to put us in. We were all very happy and relieved to leave, and you could not pay me any amount of money to go back.

Amazing welcome
Jose was exceptionally helpful getting us to our room after a long day of travel. He ensured we got to our room safely. The room was beautiful and quiet. The pools are warm and the rooms clean. Gracias
