Loved this secure family/handicap friendly resort with excellent food and service! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The only negative is that check in is at 4pm and even though we checked in earlier in the day, our room wasn’t ready until 5pm. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.

while they have put a lot of investment in the property the room I was given was not remodeled and was definitely not worth $500 a night. I understand the building I was staying at will be remodeled soon but apart from being outdated and not fine resort material was very very dirty. The service was outstanding. Food quality could use improvement.

my first review because they need help at this hotel. checked in went to room found nail clippings and potato chip crumbs on the rug. called front desk no answer. next day went to front desk explained the situation spoke to Jan, at the front desk he apologized and said he would send some people to take care of it. went to the room the bed was made but the floor was not vacuumed. Nobody answers the phone. i called everyday to get it vacuumed they finally came after i made a stink after 5 days of complaining my last night they came at 10 pm and vacuumed it. the place is so overpriced the staff looks like they are all upset and just don’t want to be there. The food and drinks were extremely over priced. the staff seemed to avoid eye contact. The gym is old. the whole place looks a bit dated. i went to palomina island packed in a tiny boat packed with people didnt see life saving jackets. The ocean was beautiful and it was a nice place but then i went to order food I was served raw chicken complained and they acted like it was my fault. total trashy food. the server didn’t have a name tag on. be prepared to walk. we had to take the funicular up and down all day was real annoying and a time waster. the battery in our room door went dead had to wait for someone to let us in and change the battery late at night. I saw a dead bird in a pond at the pool told three people they all ignored me. i can go on but this limits the amount of characters allowed.

"One of the best family vacations we've had, thanks to this beautiful place. From the moment you arrive, you're breathless with its beauty. But what really makes this experience special is the service and warmth of the employees, who make you feel at home. Without a doubt, my family and I will be back to visit."
