Check-in took over an hour, only 2 staff. Very hot and humid. After check-in, on the way to the room, the elevator broke down and with luggage we have to take the stair :-( the ice machine also broken on all floors. We stay at the resort for 6 nights but only allow to dine 3 nights. The food was OK. Staffs speak broken English. Very limited entertainment during the day and night. Jacuzzi also broken. The property everything are broken.

The beach area and the pools are beautiful. I always do all inclusive and the foodcwas the worse i have ever had. The waiter staff at the pool bar is very good. The service at the buffets is terrible and the food is horrendous with limited selection and the same selection everyday. This is the first vacation i can say i lost weight.
