Room was clean basic room no mini fridge which was a disappointment a large balcony with great ocean views. All inclusive plan does not include everything and is confusing your only choice for breakfast and lunch is the buffet and it is not good. Dinner choices were better

Staff here are so friendly and service was great. Fabian took time to talk to us in the mornings, he was welcoming and kind. Mario at the Italian restaurant was funny and kind, and provided great service as well. Everyone did a great job, and work so hard. The accommodations are clean and the building is also clean throughout.
We had a small issue with our room that came up mid way through our trip, but we were moved right away and there were no other problems.
Thanks for a great stay.

With the elite package, food was amazing and plentiful. Easy to book Al a carte restaurants. Had some issues with one of the housekeepers, but it was rectified with one phone call. The other housekeeper was amazing.
Resort is a bit rundown but clean.

It was ok. I guess that I expected more from an all inclusive resort. But the bed was comfortable & the water pressure was great. I didn’t expect to have to pay for in room coffee or the bottles of water, not very “all inclusive”.

Ideal for families. Food was excellent considering an all inclusive resort, alcohol drinks could be better. I didn't like the resort fee and no free internet.
