May 16, 2025Be carefull
Just to mention that we had 3 persons that noticed disappearance of money, not huge amount but one was $40 and 2others $20. Just small amount that it is difficult to notice. We presume that hey had access to the safe. If it had be only one person, we would not mention it but since 3 did notice, we suspect such…

May 16, 2025Fabulous resort
Wonderful hotel and resort. Only hiccup was getting the mini bar restocked, but the lovely evening reception in particular Jo an, and Robert couldn’t do enough to help. Looking forward to going back later this year. Highly recommend.

May 15, 2025Good but not great
Good but not great……a lot to like in terms of location, food choices, pool area options, straight onto the beach and mainly really great staff. The issue is, and was with a lot of people, was the quality of rooms and response to get things done. Our fridge didn’t work, the drawers were broke and after asking twice to get the fridge fixed nobody bothered so we gave in. This was a theme from many we spoke to. If you want good quality evening entertainment for UK children then this is not the place for you either in my opinion.

Not the best but not the worst
Location is good.. Beach is good apart from lots of seeweed a lot of the time but azure clear waters. Room was acceptable, clean and functional water hot so no complaints. Not sure why other reviews differed. Our room was fine. Lots of South Americans and predominantly Argentinians. Service was in general good but in my opinion the staff were missing smiles. Not all of them but a lot. Food.. Lots of choice in the colonial buffet style restaurant.. A bit repetitive however you can find something most nights. Cakes and pastries mainly delicious. Ice cream more often than not sloppy lots of coloured ice creams and some very nice. Breakfast again all you need lots of fresh fruit at each sitting. Sadly the Steakhouse was terrible would not recommend at all but maybe we just didnt get what we expected. This hotel has no dress code. I was shocked to see people in swimwear at breakfast and dinner. Mama juanas good for lunch and breakfast.. Wasn't impressed with the Italian though. Grounds kept tidy but disappointed no coloured plants and flowers. If you want cheap with food and alcohol on tap this is the place.. If you want chic top class elegance then this is not the hotel for you.

May 12, 2025Poor
Broken glass on all corners of bedside table , leaking air conditioning. Leaking shower twice. Toilet blocked when we arrived. Final straw the shower door fell off on to my son luckily he caught it and propped it back up. We got moved rooms, the new rooms had cockroach infestation. Hotel staff didn’t see bothered about any of it, just said “ye ye we know it needs updating” said they would fumigate rooms, when we went back seen the cleaner in there with a tin of bug spray. Beach is nice, tui pool is nice. Shop is 10 dollars for a bag of crisps nothing is priced. Would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for luxury as is advertised. Food is good overall. We put a tip in the tip jar, the waitress tried to grab my shoulder to stop me putting it in the jar, tipping is not compulsory but we do tip and when we seen the tip jar we assumed that’s where to put it. She was angry that we put it in rather directly to her. Would not recommend
