It’s not walkable and restaurants closes around 10pm at night so if you’re hungry after that, you’ll not have access to any convenient store or restaurant

Staff was amazing. Resort needs major updating. Very little hot water. Rooms are old and outdated with broken faucets, showers etc. The staff is what makes the resort. Menu was small but food was well prepared and fresh. Thank you, Fernand, Pedro, Lilo, Johnathan for being great hosts and making the stay better.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you, but if you’re looking for entertainment, shops, and a little bit of fun this is not the place!!! You would have to get a taxi to 1 of 2 nearby places which is $30 back and forward!!! They only have two restaurants both for lunch, one for just lunch which closes at 5pm and for dinner it starts at 6pm and close at 10pm!! They have a small selection of food, no substitute and dinner changes every night it was 2 nights we definitely didn’t eat anything because we didn’t care for what was on the menu!!!! There is no arcade just a pool table and a dart board!!! A vending machine that only take pesos!! No water sports like it says and golfing was never offered as an amenity when it’s listed on the site!!! Plunge pool, and main pool was falling apart a serious renovation is needed!!! But if you can overlook certain things than you’ll enjoy your time!!!

This is not a resort, it is a hotel. Not in walking distance of anything. Can cost atleast $30 to any restaurant or entertainment. Room looks like the one on the photos minus the brown stains on towels, lack of cleaning and maintenance and piece of glass I found in my bed. Food: Don’t pay for their all inclusive. We did out of fault of Expedias website not offering it to us at booking and us having to pay at check in. The food is minimum and one note. We scheduled a private romantic dinner which never happened but still charged us. No buffets. Two restaurants open with limited hours. No they will not fill your snack bar that includes only chip and drinks daily during cleaning your room although we paid for the all inclusive. Pool: very dated and not maintained. Beach is off to the side shared with private homes. Pool furniture brooking, not maintained during the day, ran out of pool towels mid day, one staff member at the pool and no they will not come back but once to ask if you need another drink or anything else. No entertainment available. Ordered for a massage in room. Upon arrival said she couldn’t massage my hands or feet because I am pregnant. Cancel service immediately but they still charged us. Requested information on a tour asked 3 times over the course of 12hours from morning to evening and almost missed our chance to get the tour the next day. We always stay at The Princess and never had an issue. Stay there. DO NOY STAY HERE!

The property looked nice but then when we got to our room there was water pouring down from the ceiling in the bathroom and I slipped on it. We asked them to fix it multiple times never did and even blamed us for it happening. There is no hot water!!!! And if you wanna use the pools on your porch good luck. The food was good but they use the same two menus and rotate them so it’s the same food l over and over.

The restaurant here is horrible. IF you get your food, great presentation but tastes awful. The snack cafe is closed at 4:30 so the restaurant is your only option for dinner. We walked out multiple times for waiting over an hour and other times for not getting what we ordered and when we got food it was cold and way overcooked. The only thing good at the restaurant was one waiter, Hernan. When we had him, our experience was better. Food was still bad but he took good care of us. The wait staff around the pool and in the snack cafe were great. On the site they show pictures of a beach with chairs and huts. This is the neighboring property, NOT Senses. No beach to speak of unless you walk to the public ones. The scenery is beautiful but I would never go back to this resort. The hot tubs on the property are empty, old and broken. If you want your balcony tub filled, you have to request maintenance to do it. We did that and they never came. Another couple we were travelling with did the same, never showed for them either. They couldn't plug anything in due to outlet corrosion in their room. Literally, sparks flew. You have to ask for everything they say they provide right down to water and a hair dryer. Half of the tiles are missing in the pool or get stuck to you when you get out. We addressed our concerns with the front desk and they did absolutely nothing. DO NOT STAY HERE - YOU WILL LEAVE DISAPPOINTED AND HUNGRY!! It's run so poorly, a shame really.
