The property was average. I had an ocean view which was nice, the bed and pillows were comfy but the shower floor was not sloped properly so water filled up and went outside the door so I had to sweep the water with my feet to the corner drain for it to go down. The toilet is low for kids, I had to request and iron/board and the iron leaked/sprayed water everywhere. The carpet in the hallway was badly stained and coming apart, the room exterior door was badly scuffed and the lobby couches were stained and filthy. I went to all of the restaurants except Portafino. Oceania was below average. The buffet was average but the Seaside restaurant was good. The lobby restroom had 4 stalls that were locked, I assume because they were out of order and the two that were usable were out of tissue and not maintained well. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating but the hotel in general needs maintenance. I took pictures but don’t see where I can upload them.

The property can use more dining options, especially for dinner. A room specifically for a night club would be ideal as well as more variety of music genres. The property can offer more activities during the day, as well as make sure they show on the app. Spa was great, pool area was also nice. Customer service was awesome. Rafel was awesome, he helped with our bags and assisted with getting us a taxi. He was always available and willing to help.

I even paid for the upgrade ay itslian restaurant and as most of everything I ate, mo flabor.. All food was served watmed at best, mot one hot dish and all made to order. Outside of most staff not speaking english, whicj is a first and I've traveled all over the world, so I could never get across what I was asking fpr. Also not enough explanation ehen booking excursions. I understand this is Spanish speaking country bit staff shpuld be able to communicate. Also after 11pm, there is basically nothing to do amd all entertainment catered to spanish guests for most part.
