Really nice place with a great beach and many pool options. I didn't like the gym; I've had better gyms on a cruise ship. With all the space, they could have put in a better gym with updated equipment.

The property itself is really cool, a hotel on the beach. Really nice. The onlyknock on this hotel was that there was low tide in the morning that affected the beach in the area.

If your use to all inclusive like RIU, Dreams, or Hyatt this is not the place for you. It’s nothing like an all inclusive. Only 1 choice for breakfast sometimes dinner as well, room service not included in the all inclusive package. And most staff is not friendly.

The property was beautiful! The staff members were friendly and welcoming. The room accommodation was perfect. It was for guests in one room and we did not feel like we were on top of each other. The room was spacious. On the other hand, what I did not like was the lack of nightly entertainment. Guess went back to their rooms. I understand a Monday through Thursday, but the weekend the entertainment should have been vital for a more joyful time at the resort.
