The property is beautiful. Would definitely give a "wow" factor to a lot of people. Big, spacious and lots to do pools wise. There are restaurants to choose from and letting you charge it to your room made so many potential obstacles easier. The gondola to the lower level of the resort was a fun thing for the kids to get to do and gave you a chance to see the awesome views of the various islands. The private island for swimming was a huge plus. It gave you a feel of going on vacation from your vacation and was a nice change up. Food at some of the places were better than others. Go with the Mexican outdoor bar food or the wood fire pizzas. The nachos were great. We would probably have ordered them more often had we tried them at the beginning of the trip. Drawbacks - Some of the staff will completely ignore you even if you try to ask a question. I chalked it up to maybe a language barrier, but it really came at an akward time (we were trying to ask about making a reservation at one of the restaurants) and they proceeded to let Spanish speaking people cut in front and held a long conversation without acknowledging us. Being our last night it stood out to us. The other item was they took our luggage at valet and said they would deliver it to our room since we were down on the lower portion of the resort. A huge win, but then they lost our luggage for several hours and after several calls, it was found. Again, not the end of the world, but some things that could be better.

Views, private island, and rooms are amazing. Staff is professional, prompt, and friendly. The food is average, price of the food is borderline ridiculous for what it is. Everything onsite is overpriced. Would go back, but would eat offsite as much as possible.

Good property worth the price and time. The location is ideal if you want to stay only on the east side of P.R. If you don't have plans to visit San Juan or other towns heading west then is good, amenities and what you receive for the money. However be aware there is a hefty hold amount for incidentals of $200 per night plus the parking for guest is not free that is about $17 daily and processed at the end with proper validation this is not included when paying for the travel package. Service was great but room amenities could be better.

Great stay, but beware of the costs: the hotel adds a $70 per‑night “service” fee and places a hefty hold (mine was $340). I ended up paying $500 in unexpected charges for each night. Love the property, but I won’t return until pricing is transparent.
