The people are amazing and friendly. The food was very good. The water in the room tasted like sea water. The balconies were too small to use.

Our hotel was close to the beach and that is where we spent most of our time. The ocean was beautiful! The weather was excellent! The staff on the beach were a lot of fun and full of energy! The customer service staff in the hotel could of been more friendly and helpful. The food was "ok" at the buffet, but pretty good at the restaurant's. There were just shams on the bed to lay your head on and they were very uncomfortable, so never really got a good night sleep.

i can't beleive this is a Wyndham hotel

Not all inclussive!! They charge you for the room safe, no hair conditioner, they only probide shampoo amd body wash that is glued to the wall and doesn't lather. You can only make restaurant reservation depending on the number of the nights that you stay there. My room had a connecting door that made it very noise and that I could hear everything the neighboors said. No drink service at the beach, you jave to go to the main bar and get your own drinks. Good place for families but not for couples, the pool was overraken by the kids. Not staying there ever again.
