  DONT GET MARRIED HERE OR GO TO THE SPA. Everything else was good.

  DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE OR GO TO THE SPA! Getting married here was expensive and you got nothing. I paid $100 for an up do with the spa for the wedding and all she did was brush dirty hair into a bun. When I said something to the manager they said it was extra to have the hair washed and blown out and when I told her that I did not like the hair she told me too bad. The wedding planner never responded to emails. For my dinner I wanted the Mexican a la cart but they said it was closed. I then chose the Italian where I shared the restaurant with all of the other guests in the hotel and had to pay $40 per person. Furthermore, that night we found out the Mexican was open. When we brought it up to the planner he did nothing either about the hair or the restaurant. The only items included in the cost was a plain wedding cake, sashes on chairs at the ceremony, and bouquet everything else was extra including adding a flower on the cake for $35. The spa DOES NOT refund your money once you book and they tell you that your massage is able to be paid out from your benefits and they are not for many insurance companies. The remainder of the resort stay was fine. The a la carts are understaffed but the food is good throughout or stay. The employees are very under paid but they were all kind. The entertainment was awesome and the rooms were a little outdated but nice. The sports and actives made our stay as they were fun and the staff were pretty incredible.

  Nice place, great employees. Food needs improvement.

  Ocean Coral & Turquesa, November 29 thru December 9, 2025 We are members of the H10 travel club and have been for 12 years. We annually travel to this resort once a year and obviously like this location. My opinion of this trip, as always the staff is great! Individuals that we interacted with and should be commended by H10 management: Butlers: Brandon and Alberto are incredible employees and constantly interacted with us throughout our day, making sure we were happy and to see if there was anything we needed. A+ employees! All of the premium lounge/beach/pool employees are great. A shout out to Jose Lopez, Ricardo (pool bartender), Vitolino (Bartender at the premium lounge), Jasmine, Emmanuel, Miguel all made our experience great. These people made our trip better and keep us returning to this resort. Other employees that we had great experience with were, Jesus at the Blue Moon restaurant, the smiling bartender at the lobby bar (Mateo), and a big shout out to Yesenia, guest services. The employees at his resort are very good and make these trips stand out for us! Location is incredible, beach, pools are well maintained and the resort is very clean. Check in/out is good and we have no concerns with this process except for room assignments before arrival. The only compliant I have is the food. C+. Not B or A! Sometimes, I will say the meals are pretty good sometimes (breakfast), other times not so. Blue Moon Restaurant was the best food experience we had this time. Even though I like the buffet, this experience was weak. One night at 7 PM (opens at 6:30 PM), 75% of the Buffet had empty food containers. The response, we are busy. Management knows it going to be busy, do your job and plan accordingly. Management fails in this area!

  Bed bugs

  This place was the worst resort I have ever stayed at. This will be a long, but thorough and honest review. Upon arriving we tried to upgrade our room and the upgrade was a waste, but they made sure to get us to have a scheduled time the next day to try and sell us a membership. Which we were told would take only one hour, which then turned into 2 hours out of our day. Room was supposed to be stocked mini fridge which consisted of 2 waters a diet and regular Pepsi. No beer, no snacks nothering more and was supposed to be restocked daily, which it wasn't. The pillows were so big, they hurt our necks. I spoke to guest services who said they would get different pillows but never did. Upon arriving, there was such a foul smell in the room it kept me up at night. Again, called guest service and they said they would deep clean, but the smell was still present. They have speciality restaurants, which are impossible to make reservations with unless you speak with guest services to do so for you and ONLY on the day of. They do not take reservations for days in advance, and the restaurants aren't open every day. Service was slow at every restaurant, we would wait after being seated for a long time before even being greeted, then an even longer wait for the drinks to be delivered. I am not even talking alcoholic drinks. Simple a Pepsi and Iced tea. At the villa marina for lunch we waited 55 minutes to have our food delivered, which was a hot dog and shrimp tacos. On our 2nd day we started noticing bites all over our bodies, especially feet, ankles, hands. The bites were in lines and clusters consistent with bed bugs. During our 2nd nite we couldn't sleep. My boyfriend and I were itching so bad and noticing more and more bites on us. Now, we did see a lot of mosquitos in our room during our whole stay as well. But these bites were different. I am also family with no see-ums and these are not those. I called guest services and they said they would come deep clean the room. They showed up and went through everything and said they would fumigate the room but didn't find bed bugs. Sorry, but you can't always find them, unless there is a large infestation. We tried to sleep again the next night and could not as we were itching so bad again, and getting bit up. The next day, I found a bed bug on my boyfriend and took a picture. Called guest service again and they made me come to the room and watch them go through the room. Said they would deep clean and fumigate again...this process took over an hour out of my vacation again. More time spent away from what was supposed to be a relaxing time away to celebrate. More time on the phone with guest services and more time "watching" what they were doing. We were told they would deep clean the room daily. We'll, I squished a ton of mosquitos all over the room, windows, walls, mirrors...and every day they were still there. So to say the room was deep cleaned is a joke. Now I know bugs are normal in tropical areas, but there should not be an abundance of mosquitos flying around a bedroom. (Doors were always closed immediately and not left open). During all of these conversations and interactions with the resort not ONCE did they ever apologize or try to make things right. They offered "medical attention ". Which consisted of applying calamime lotion to the bites. Medical attention is not needed for bug bites unless an allergic reaction is taking place. I am fully caple of applying calamine or hydrocortisone cream myself. We barely slept the entire trip because of sleeping conditions and was never even offered to change rooms as an option, just add more chemicals and fumigate. On day 5, we found a tick in the bedroom, also took another photo. The bathroom supplies were not replenished daily as they should be. The shows at this resort were also below standard of any place I have stayed at. "Acrobat 's" that anyone in gymnastics for 2 years could do. Upon checking out, I was supposed to have a $50 resort credit from the original website I booked with credited to our room (which I planned to go towards the massages we bought). The guy at check out told me I should have gotten "ocean dollars " at check in, however I never did. At this point, I'm beyond fed up. I asked to speak with a manager and the guy told me I needed to speak with guest service...surprise surprise, once again. This time, it was someone new and he was very pleasant. He told me he could not do anything at the time because his boss was not in yet, because they were up late the day before planning for an event...but he assured me to email him and his boss with all the concerns and assured me that things would be made right. That maybe I would get the massages I paid extra for, or the room upgrade we paid for, or 50% off of our stay to make things right. He told me to go a head and pay what the balance was on our stay along with the resort fees and things would be made right. Well, I emailed them both the day after we got home with a fantastic response from the head of the guest service/hospitality. The response was empty, again unapologetic, disregard for everything I mentioned, not owning up for anything that we spoke about and went through for our trip. Pretty much saying they did nothing wrong and would not make anything right besides offering me a $150 credit for a future stay!!! After I already said, I would NEVER stay at their resort again. I feel very taken advantage of and lied to. We had a bad vacation and nothing offered to make things right. I would never recommend this resort to anyone.

  Excellent Butler Service

  We have been H10 members for about 15 years. Each time we are here it feels like home. This year we must send a shout out to Carlos our Butler in the El Breda section. He is amazing. Every request or concern was met with attentiveness and speed!! He checked in on us several times during his shift to ensure we had no problems. He booked all our dinners for us (even when we were initially a party of 9). He approached everything with professionalism and friendliness, and always had a smile on his face. Thank you Carlos for all your hard work ; it did not go unappreciated!!

  Numero uno Hombre

  Fabulous clean efficient beach front hotel with amazing staff. Gustavo the pool barman is the best though. His smile as he worked extremely hard to keep me and my wife topped up with superb cocktails on hot hot days is amazing. He deserves a big reward. Gracias Gustavo!
