No water pressure in shower. When we called the front desk they said the whole building was experiencing this issue because everyone was using the water at the same time. We all also got food poisoning from the food. Poor quality of food

I loved the party atmosphere and the pools and beach were awesome especially the Pool Bars which were so much fun. The buffet was excellent for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The specialty restaurants were too cookie cutter and were not as good as the buffet. Our key cards repeatedly did not work which became annoying but ok. We thought the rooms were cleaned and prepared as well as any other midrange resort I have ever been at. I would return for sure. Great Value....

Rooms are not super clean. The property was a younger/party crowd. The food was good. We only liked the Asian restaurant otherwise the buffet was good. The drinks were watered down. It’s a great budget resort. The pools were excellent. The beach was great.

It was definitely a place where singles thrive. The music was hit or miss hit the staff were awesome. Make sure you bring a fan for your room. The food was hit or miss. The breakfast was great, but my favorite was the Italian spot. Your glass will never be empty.

Beautiful property with wonderful staff! This is a place to PARTY. If that's not what you're looking for, there are quieter areas, too.

There was no hot water in our rooms for 4 days, then the couple we were travelling with were moved to a different part of the facility because their room which was next to ours had NO hot water, as a matter of fact the faucet in the shower broke in their hands. We should be compensated for the inconvenience. The hotel manager did go out of his way to make up for all the trouble we had, and that was appreciated, but we felt like it was money that we wasted. Disappointed because we were so looking forward to this vacation, it's been a few years since we have vacationed.
