For an all inclusive property, I was disappointed that I could only do dinner every 3 nights I stayed there. And the off label alcohol was less than impressive.

The property is not new but well kept the grounds and rooms are good. The all inclusive is OK. You get what you pay for. The alcohol is local and the food is just OK on the buffets. The two restaurants are good but you can only book one every 3 nights. We were lucky, we stayed three nights and were able to eat at the two restaurants (off season). The location of the resort is excellent, we had our own transportation, their parking is very convenient. They have bars and entertainment in the disco. I would stay there again, very convenient.

Just okay

It was just okay. Beach was beautiful, would only come back for the beach. Room and food were okay. Was not happy that our room was not ready at 3pm. I called 3 days prior and told them we would get there at 12 pm and our room wasn't ready until 3:30. Not a very good way to start or end vacation.. That is why I would not stay here again and would not recommend this resort.

Great get away. Breakfast was great. Dinner was underwhelming but fine. Lunch was pretty good. The wings at the snack bar are great! Staff tried to accommodate requests. Dinner reservations are chaotic. Please put a coffee machine in the lobby or a common 24/7 access area. Having to wait until 7 for coffee is a killer when the sun is up at 5. Coffee in the room is not a good option. Comments about walking a lot are over exaggerated. The hills and steps could be a challenge with mobility issues but we were fine.

The property was clean, views were awesome but the walk to the main dining area was too far and hilly if you didn’t call for the van service. Steps were challenging for older people. But overall, we enjoyed out stay.

I loved the property. The room I stayed in was nice and I had a small balcony area which was nice. The buffet food was okay. It wasn’t bad just nothing too crazy. However the food options for dinner at the other restaurants were really good. The staff was decent however I had a few instances where I was waiting on line and the staff bypassed me and interacted with the Spanish speaking person first. It happened when I was checking in and also while waiting in line for dinner; that put a bad taste in my mouth. I think service should be provided fairly according to who arrived first. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the hotel.

Loved the nature settings which lend itself to hills making it a workout to navigate but found some clever little shortcuts to make it easier. The resort is great, not having ala carte to every restaurant is a bit of a miss as i have been to many and not one has limited reservations to any ala carte options. With adults only and slower season it even sounds worse. Great people like, Taylor, Anna, Brian ! I know Bryan isnt part of the resort, but is an asset on the beach .

This is a great place to stay, the staff are super friendly and the room was nice. The grounds and wildlife were wonderful but be prepared for stairs. The food was good but buffet was small, a few extra options would not hurt. I would definitely recommend this property if you are looking for a quieter place. There is no nightlife so if that is what you are looking for keep looking.
