Property was pretty well maintained, pools nice and some staff were great. Special shout-out to David, Marco (bell service) and Christian (restaurants). Unfortunately my 12year old daughter was violently sick on day 2 and my wife even worse on day 6. Both sicknesses started around 3hrs after breakfast buffet and lasted over 24hrs. Food quality overall was terrible except for Nirvana and Culinarium. I ended up taking Ubers and eating out with my family for the last 24hrs after my wife got sick as well. On day 3 I had a ridiculously confrontational interaction with Edgar from PR. My daughters wristband came off and she told me about it on the way to the the pool. I told her to go upstairs and look for it in her bed because we were told replacement is $25 if you lost it. She did find it, and we planned to take care of it at 3pm on our way up to the room. To me it was a simple fix and I really wasn't worried to the point of leaving the pool that second and rushing upstairs. Edgar, a young man from PR came down and treated us like we committed a big crime and told us we might have leave the resort. He even tried to force me into signing a "last chance" and this was the first time we had any negative interactions except asking them about a pharmacy when my daughter got sick. He got my name wrong and said I lied about it, he said my daughter was a problem the day prior although we were gone all that day. Very odd and frustrating situation. Nayeli witnessed this from CS team.

Give it a solid 7/10. They need better food options. For breakfast they do not have any berries or kiwis. They also need better pool side service for the other pools without a bar. They don’t have room service. The cleaning lady took 3 pillows away one night without even asking which was odd. Their entertainment was the best part of everything, Erick, Frida, Abner, and Mimi kept us entertained with the daily aerobics and their foam party was pretty good too.
