This is a very nice resort. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bed was a bit hard for me and gave me an achy back and hips in the morning. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the property is well maintained. The food I bought at the Thirsty Flamingo was very good as well. The resort is a bit out of town in the suburbs. There is a bus stop not too far away that will take you in town. A taxi into town is quite expensive so the bus is your best bet.

The good part: staff super friendly. The not so good part, no convenient store near by, things are expensive onsite. No complimentary cotton swab as a 4 star should, but charged me $3 for a small pack. Water is expensive too. Also room is quite old, a lot of small insects in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was very well-kept. The staff went out of their way to be helpful, arranging taxis for us and loaning us a luggage cart ("trolley"). and providing us a comfortable place to stay while our room was made ready. The room was comfortable, good mattress and pillows, very clean. We only had one meal, at the poolside bar/grill. There was a wide variety of reasonably-priced menu items. The dinner menu also contained a good variety. While we stayed only one night (between cruise and flight), it is clear that this property is a destination for many people. We saw many families with children enjoying the three(!) tropical pools, mini-golf, and pedal carts.

The pictures of the property look so much nicer and prettier! The location is convenient as it’s not far from the airport. It’s a big facility surrounded by trees and plants, hence lots of bugs and ants. They only cleaned our room once during our stay which was disappointing considering how many ants were there. There’s no black out curtain so no privacy.

Although the outside of this property was beautiful, the rooms are outdated and we arrived late at night to find cockroaches in our room. We would have left right then and there, but the late hour and getting up early the next day for an event stopped us from doing so. Also, there is absolutely nothing walking distance so we had to eat at their restaurant or take an Uber. The restaurant was not terrible, but not great either. I would not stay here again.
