The resort was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Yeraldy, Paulino & Elias were excellent at the buffet. Randall was outstanding at the Italian restaurant. Steicy was also outstanding at the Sports bar. Limited dinner options with only one restaurant (Italian) in addition to the buffet, which also offered ala carte.

Summer family trip

What a great resort! Nice decor, open design, friendly staff, great food, great complimentary amenities, & right by the beach! We opted for the all-inclusive option for our family of 4 & it was totally worth it! Our room was spacious with a kitchenette area that included a full size fridge. Their complimentary amenities include kayaks, paddle boards, boogie boards, bicycles, & FAMILY BOARD GAMES. We also loved the family center with pool tables, ping pong, & a small theater. The staff really makes you feel like you’re home.
