Staff are wonderful and informative, lots of variety in cuisine, the rooms are clean and modern. However, there are only 3 small elevators for the entire hotel and often takes a while to wait during peak times such as meal times or check in/check out so i would often take the stairs instead of waiting. Overall great first all-inclusive experience.

Our experience at this resort was mixed. The food was not great, and I ended up feeling sick for most of the stay. We had conjoining rooms, and you could clearly hear your neighbors all night, which made it hard to rest. The rooms were clean but very dated and could use some upgrades. The elevators also need attention — they were loud and sometimes slammed when closing. On the positive side, the beachfront location is absolutely beautiful, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. This resort seems better suited for younger guests in their 20s who want to party and enjoy the nightlife. It’s loud and lively, especially in the evenings, so if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway, this might not be the best fit — but if you’re there to have fun and party, you’ll probably enjoy the atmosphere.

Samuel at the bar in the evenings was exceptional. the lady whose name i didn’t get, that served our group of 10 for breakfast each day was exceptional. The Japanese restaurant food was very good, service also excellent. Betty at the front desk, also so lovely to deal with. So many servers over our stay that were so nice. This was a perfect stay for our group. getting to our rooms a little earlier would have been nice. later dining in the a là cartes would be recommended
