The room we stayed in wasn’t exactly new but it was kept very clean and the bed was comfortable. The air conditioning unit was loud but we got used to it as white noise. We got a swim up suite for a bit extra and that was lovely. The staff were very friendly and professional. We quite liked Aranza of the Entertainment team, who took a kind interest in our family and helped us with bocce, taught us basic salsa and refereed water volleyball. We appreciated her lovely smile and enthusiastic, youthful energy!

The room was immaculately cleaned daily, the amenities were fantastic, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. The food could have been better. Drinks were fantastic. Participated in the upgraded valentines dinner - the food wasn't a wow, but the ambiance, music and view made it worth it. Spa was terrific! Book a service here - they do it right. Felt upsold most of the time we were there for an all-inclusive but not pushy.

Our room on the first night was so noisy we could not sleep at all. The next day we were told it’s because it is close to the street. The other option we were offered was no better. For $50 per night more we moved to a better room closer to the center of the property. It took a while and felt like a time waste. I was disappointed as our room was expensive to start with. The service is good. Not excellent. Not proactive. Everyone is polite and kind but not thoughtful. My husband paid to use the hydrotherapy, he had to leave after 15. Minutes because the outside noise from the local carnival made it impossible. The staff agreed to him coming the next day but also didn’t warn him before. Just a waste of time. The pool was noisy in
