We loved the resort and our concierges, Judy and Samantha were the absolute best. As soon as we arrived, they got us booked in for all the a la carte restaurants which were incredible! The resort is clean and well maintained. The rooms are very comfortable with a giant jug of filtered water. The beds are comfortable. The food at the buffets had enough variety to satisfy a family of 8 with picky kids. The nightly entertainment was insane! So good! Drinks at the various bars were great, and the waitressed will even come around to the beach to bring you drinks as well. We were well taken care of and would absolutely recommend this resort.

Check in took about an hour. Room was clean. Our room didn’t have hot water the first day until we called maintenance and taught us the “trick” to get hot water running. Food and activities were good. No room service unless you were royal elite. No liquor in room just beer, soda and water. Overall great resort. We had a concierge that reserved restaurants and those were great. Beach and pools were nice.

The resort is great for families with the available activities and sheer size of the place. Plenty of restaurant options. That being said, it is very competetive to get the reservations. Expedia personnel are quite helpful in confirming your bookings, but you have to fine your Expedia representative on the resort and communicate via WhatsApp. It’s a major help. The noise transfer in the rooms was a bit of an issue. You can hear neighbouring rooms quite clearly and the maid service in the morning was very loud. We didn’t sleep in once unfortunately. The rooms themselves are cozy. Don’t expect comfortable showering experiences unless you are ok with cold water. The hot water never makes an appearance. Warm water during odd times in the day. The size and amount of people on the resort makes it impossible to enjoy a warm shower. The check in and check out lines are an absolute disaster. There is a guide for the desk, but hoards of people just stand in front of the desk and then there’s two lines when there should only be one. Employees did not enforce any kind of structure at all. I spoke to some people that spent 3 hours simply trying to check in for their vacation. They need to get the lines in order because that was a poor START and FINISH of the vacation.

Great staff, food was great, room was perfect fit. There was tons of wild life on the resort! Lots of activities and things to explore on the resort. Never a huge line up for anything. Great jungle vibes! The map is deceiving gives you the impression everything is far away but only take 5mins to walk from one end to the other.

Desde que hicimos el check in en el hotel la persona de recepción nos atendió con una mala actitud, elegimos este hotel por su water park para nuestro hijo de 4 años y al llegar resultó que el área estaba cerrada de forma indefinida por reparaciones, solicitamos la cancelación de nuestra reserva inmediatamente y tardaron horas en darnos solución, fuimos a comer al único restaurante abierto a las 5 de la tarde y los coaties quitando la comida a la gente, finalmente su única solución fue movernos al sandos playacar donde nos dieron una habitación vieja, sin mantenimiento, la taza del baño se movía, el agua del garrafón se tiraba y amanecimos con un charco en el piso. Definitivamente no fue una buena experiencia de vacaciones. Si vas a ir te recomiendo asegurarte que las amenidades estén disponibles.

I can see how this could be a really fun place to go with a family--there was lots of greenery, it was close to a nice beach, and the room was nice. The issue we had, however, was that the water park did not fully open at all, and only half opened on our last day. It seemed a temporary thing (as in, it doesn't happen all the time) but I certainly would not have booked here had I known it wouldn't work.
