Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: Nice rooms even at the basic level, beautiful grounds and walkways, a trolley btw buildings, bars everywhere, very clean adult pools, best buffet food I’ve had at an all inclusive, good beds, 24/7 room service, kind helpful staff, help with taxis and luggage service. Cons: So many areas exclude children and non Royal Elite members, only one trolley for a huge resort and thousands of people, 20-25 min wait per trolley, 10 min walk from family area to the buffet or any food area you could really get into, almost non existent ability to get speciality dining reservations, understaffed in restaurants and family pool area, no service to chairs on the beach, ocean was having a sargassum bloom so very dirty, 15 min walk from the low level family area to the family pool. If you wanted closer it was much more $$. The family pool area was not very clean and very crowded bc it was only pool kids were really allowed in. Go to guest services to make speciality reservations, not the app. Buffet was really the only place you could eat. Room service menu was hard for gluten free or kids options. Elevators still broke after weeks of complaints. Overall- I loved the resort but I wouldn’t go back with kids. It was just too big and poorly set up to get around with your kids. Frustrating when they were tired. It’s also frustrating that it’s advertised with so much, then you get there and only the elite members can use it. I would go back without kids but pay more to be closer

I have stayed on this resort 3 times in the past, and they have all been great times! This time around, the resort had a major foodborne illness outbreak (incuding myself) I was on my death bed for 2 days, the water was completely off for 2 straight days (couldn't shower or wash hands), the air conditioner was not working properly, the staff lied about the foodborne outbreak and water being off and did nothing to compensate by time and money lost. I will never go back to this resort in which at one point was my favorite in the Playacar strip!

The service and food quality have gone down hill. This was our 3rd time visiting since 2021 and we are done. Even with tipping the service was not great. Hard to even get a glass of water refilled. 2 of the 3 of us got diarrhea and felt sick. Rooms in the family section are super clean and spacious. Pools need cleaning to remove scum from tiles.

The staff is really rude and not helpful. The food is terrible. The are very limited choices in the buffet and it seems they just remix dinner and serve it for breakfast and lunch. It's very dark on the pathways to the rooms at night. We had to move rooms bc the AC didn't work and the ceiling in the bathroom was leaking. I would not stay at this resort again.

Fridge and phone didn't work when we got there. Top bunk of bunk bed rail was broken and they just came and removed it on day two of a seven night trip and never came back to repair it. So my 11 year old slept up there with no railing just hoping he didn't roll off.

I really wanted to like this property. I’ve been to other resorts before, and there was a lot of inconveniences that occurred with this trip. My room was supposed to be ready the night before because my flight delayed one day. However, my bathroom was not cleaned, neither was the fridge, and the floor was dusty with sand. They had an entire extra day and my space was still unclean when I was supposed to be there the day before. The food was OK, not super ecstatic about it. The grand hall was the one place I really liked and the steakhouse. I left a very valuable item in my room, that I know for sure. However, management refuses to respond. The customer service email is pointless because no one responded. Trying to reach the front desk is a hassle and after two weeks of consistently trying to reach them. They told me it was not in the room, when I know, I left it on top of the bed because I made the bed before I left. I don’t understand why they just refuse to let me know that the item is there other than the fact that I am a foreign traveler, and they didn’t want to deal with shipping the item out to me even when it’s at my expense. Overall, probably would not pick this property again. I was only here for a wedding and it was not my choice.
