Great all inclusive resort with friendly and helpful staff. Relaxing environment and long walkable beach. Areas of the beach from calm to slightly wavy. Seaweed on some parts of the beach but other parts very clear and nice to swim in.

Room needs some maintenance. Phone was not working. The second i have stayed in that the phone was not working. I reported the situation in the hopes that it will get fixed but did not happen. The hairdryer was hanging by one nail so it was not totally secured on the wall. The clothes drawer had a musty smell. I have to say that the staff are professional and friendly. The reason why I come back to this place. Housekeeping can do a better job cleaning the bathroom. I would still go back and stay in this property regardless. I always had a wonderful time. It’s my third time around. I also have to mention- the restaurant reservation process can be improved.

Our room wasn’t the best, rusty garbage bin. But everything else was nice. Good buffet options. Clean pool, clean beach. And it’s small so everything is walkable. The snack bar by the beach has better food option then the one at the pool.

This was our first time at this resort. The service of the staff was top notch! The food was just alright, nothing special, but not bad either. We did have poor water temperatures for showers, rarely was it more than tepid... The beach and swim up pool were great ways to spend the day. Nightly entertainment was enjoyable. We did find there were too many smokers sitting by the pool area most days which detracted feom our enjoyment, but smokers will be smokers, regardless of how it affects those around them. Overall, good basic all inclusive experience.
