Second time staying, some info: - If you have kids, bring a stroller, it’s a big property, the shuttle is intermittent at best - they have a tiered system, blue / black / gold bracelet system, know your status - towel cards are my enemy - don’t lose em - we had a concierge, but they didn’t contact us until day of departure, seemed weird - food was good, we didn’t try many of the restaurants, no complaints on food and bev - beach is super nice spot, I’d recommend walk down to the pier to see the famous 5th entrance - kids water park needs a lifeguard, some kids were getting run over on the slides - entertainment all good - coffee place was a hidden treat Nice overall, some quirks but worth it in my view.

All the restaurants were close except for one buffet the food was mid, everything was far from the rooms the cars that passed by to pick you up were said to pass every 15 minutes well it took about 25-30 minutes we would end walking, there’s no pool service so if your in the pool and get hungry you’ll have to get out get ready and go find something to eat which is the whole point of a all inclusive resort, we were at the pool by the beach and theirs a little “snack bar” my husband took our 6 year old to get something to eat because he was hungry and we were told we couldn’t get something to go or go in because we were wet and my son and husband didn’t have a shirt on which is ridiculous considering we were told by the staff that helped us know where everything was that we could go be in the pool get something to eat while being in the pool at the “snack bar” the list goes on. overall the stay wasn’t good I do not recommend staying here at

3 of their restaurants were closed The main water park was closed The game room is only for kids 10 & up The shuttles took forever to pick us up to go from point to point. Some of the staff was rude. The only good thing about this trip was Samantha. She helped us navigate the hotel, made our check in smooth. She apologized for the restaurants being closed and gave us different options. Sadly the main reason we booked this hotel was to take our kids to the water parks and the restaurants so we left very disappointed. Samantha thank you so much for helping us.

I would not recommend staying here. Three restaurants were closed. My room room did not seem clean. Also, the staff is not friendly. They only give 2 complimentary waters on arrival, after that you drink their "filtered" water or buy a bottled water for $17 USD. My room had a half- filled water jug, but it was clearly old. I will say the beach, kids activities, coffee bar and beach dinner were amazing, but it doesn't make up for the staff's attitude and aging facilities. Be sure to view the map, otherwise you are stuck with a 20 min walk to the beach, or wait for a shuttle. Oh, and my reservation was for 5 but they continually left only 4 towels, sometimes no hand towels. No big deal, except it took 30+ minutes to get through to anyone on the phone. It's like the front desk does not want to help. I understand you get what you pay for. But there are plenty of other resorts that do it way better. Don't fall for the edited photos and 10 star reviews, this place is not worth it.
