We stayed for one night prior to departing home. The resort is in need of significant improvements. Staff were not friendly. Not really family friendly as we had 2 kids. Lots of swearing, smoking, etc. We ate 2 meals in the restaurant that was understaffed and very slow. The exercise room was worthless. The treadmill was not stable and rattled. The other equipment was rusty. No towels or cleaning products. Expected way more for our money. The only positive was the beach was nice. The pool was very dirty.

Staff was amazing, food and drinks were great! The room had bugs, also the heat didn’t work and the shower water wasn’t hot enough. The resort is cashless but they have no ATM on site which makes it difficult to pay for taxis and the taxi prices were different every day

The room is clean and mostly well put together. The entire property is a bit dated and tired from years of heavy use. This is a place you go for a modest cost and phenomenal beach. Food is good, drinks are good and the service is excellent. Bargain for what you get.

We arrived for the Paradise Jam November 2025, Before our check in at 4pm. They held our Luggage until it was time to get in our room. We ordered lunch, it was pretty busy so it was a little wait. But everything came out good 👍. Our rooms were clean and they kept us with towels and rags. It's literally 2min from the airport. Great view of the beach from our balcony. We also enjoyed our nighttime kitchen staff Lincoln, he was very attentive to us.
