The property is very nice, with 2 pools. One is a deeper pool and one is shallower. The rooms have been recently updated and are standard to what you'd expect. The food was good, with a variety of options. The beach was nice and has white sand and very little seaweed. The shows were good and the entertainment team works very hard every night. There's a small casino on site as well as a disco. The resort was very nice and wood recommend this resort.

The staff was great but the food was very average. I did wish there was greater entertainment that didn’t include guest and something included for the kids to get them out of the sun… like a game room that was not for money. Beds and room were cozy. Circus was great. Again staff was amazing!

This is a basic all-inclusive resort without the frills and more contemporary/modern looks and features of its neighboring family of resorts. However, it was charming and lovely place to vacation. Everyday at the pool and beach front was perfect.

Food is awful….gross mystery meat for omelette station, buffet was not stocked and cleaned properly. No swim up bar, no waitress service at pool. They let vendors come into lobby at night and they are very aggressive! The room was clean and our housekeeper did a great job.

Overall it’s beautiful, most of the staff is friendly and helpful.
I wish they would pay better attention to the beach/pool chairs, a lot of them need fixing.
They need to pay better attention to the food expiring also, things were sometimes sour tasting or going bad or just too old/recycled.

Overall we had a very good time dispite having 1/2 of our stay rained out.
Entertainment was very good most days.Lovely super friendly staff Domenica side appears more forthcoming in helpfullness why i dont know.The buffet is better than many 4.5 star resorts i stayed at (mostly in mexico).
The only restaurant experience we enjoyed was the French restaurant.
The Mediterranean and US
were sub par you get much better food and choices at the buffet.

I have stayed in several all inclusive resorts and by far the food here was the best...the only complaint would be the fruit...it was never fresh or good... but everything else was always really GOOD! The restroom was small compared to every resort I have stayed at...but it was okay. I paid for "oceanview" and received a corner room which didnt really allow for "oceanview". I wish they were more generous with their complimentary items...for example I forgot q-tips...I asked the front desk for some...and they provided a tiny carton box with 1 q-tip in there...

Check-in was slow, with staff pushing upgrades. The resort is clean, spacious, and safe. Our family suite was quiet, comfortable, and well-maintained, with great blackout curtains. Housekeeping was excellent, and my kids loved the towel animals. The WiFi worked everywhere, even on the beach, and the resort app was useful for messaging the front desk.
Food was hit or miss. Dinner had good options, but the buffet was unappealing—birds stole food, stray cats roamed the restaurant, and some items sat unrefrigerated. There aren’t many lunch options, and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were inconsistent in quality.
The pool wasn’t well-filtered well, with lots of noticeable debris. Chair saving is out of control at the pool and beach, and the resort doesn’t enforce its policy. Solicitation was constant—vendors approached us nonstop, especially because we had kids. The wristband room keys were convenient, but I wish they were removable.
Check-out is strict at noon, no exceptions, so we had to sit in the lobby for 90 minutes before our ride.
