We had an issue with the cleaning staff stealing items out of our bags, such as a wallet and expensive sandals. We emailed the hotel but they did not respond. Most of the food was good except for the Steakhouse. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

Our stay was very good. The check in was a bit bumpy and it could be better. The rooms were always cleaned and left amazing each day. The buffet was literally the best place to eat hands down! The waiters there were attentive and kind. Overall, the service was always good when I had it but there weren’t enough people to help make it as luxurious as I’d thought it would be. The beds were cozy but the pillows were lacking. The shower was great! In general a great stay and felt safe. The construction in front of the hotel and on the road was a hassle.

Buffet not too good. Same thing everyday with no variance. Ala cartel were OK. Evening shows lame. We sat at various pool areas and this is the first all inclusive we’ve been to that basically had no drink service to you. It was all self serve. Any time we went up to get a drink there were 12 or 14 people in line. Very slow. We have been to many all inclusive in Mexico but would not return to this one.

Staff nice and friendly. Property and rooms are clean. Food was okay. Couldn’t comment on the pools because they were very busy and all pool chairs reserved with pool towels by guests well before opening. In terms of the beach, there are vendors constantly soliciting and you will see horses in the hot sun all day without water, The beach is public and hotel doesn’t have control over the vendors or the horses but if you don’t want that type of beach vibe…..I would want to know.

He made our trip even more fun than it would have been without him. Evening entertainment could have been better, but was not horrible.
