The room was very clean (and i’m very OCD) and the staff was helpful and kind! I recommend this resort, the food was good. Only complaint was that you are limited to only eat at 3 of the restaurants and there was no option to pay to eat there (had to eat at communal buffet).

If you are looking for a quiet resort this is not for you. It is crazy busy. The buffet is nuts no plates, no cutlery, and hard to get a coffee in the morning. The rooms are nice but housekeeping is hit and miss as well as the stocking of the mini fridge some days it was other days it wasn’t. The pools are nice and the beach is awesome but there are the ignorant people that have to save chairs and never use them or show up 4 hours later if not more. The staff are nice and for the most part helpful. I like the Bahia chain of hotels but will find a quiet one for our next trip.

We had a great time with the kids. The beach was sandy and the water was blue. The rooms were very nicely cleaned. The check in could be improved. We were waiting in one lane to get the bracelets and then they told us to get on the second lane to get the bracelets to work. The other thing that could be improved is to get not used plastic cups for the beer or drinks. We didn’t like the idea of washing the plastic cups. The beer should be in the glass to drink. We all got food poisoning the last day. We were all eating different things though. Also there was no sparkling water if asked to bring it to the rooms.The check out was nice and easy. Overall was nice.

Very crowded couldn’t get a seat on the beach chair. We woke up at 8 o’clock to get a seat at the beach couldn’t find one couldn’t find one at the pool when you called for ice. They said you have to go to the main office to get the ice, they can’t bring it to you when I call for some more beer they complain that I had too many beer.

Staff was so unpleasant, very clearly hated their job. Pool water was cold as ice! The temperature while we were there was already chilly so not sure why they wouldn’t heat their pools up. Food was gross, caused us to get sick. They ran out of pool towels one of the days we were there. Room clean up seemed like nothing more than making of beds. Bedroom bed had no blanket nor duvet, just a sheet. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.
