We stayed in a junior suite which was quiet and spacious with a spa. The first night we used the spa the plug didn’t work but they sent someone promptly to fix . The cleaning service came in and left the floors wet when they mopped and unaware when we came in my 82 year old Mom fell flat on her stomach . Horrible experience but Thankfully she sustained minor pain. They responded but never offered any sort of recompense . Brenda the host of activities was lovely she made my Moms experience here memorable. She engaged her in all the activities and greeted her anywhere on the property I speak some Spanish so communicating was ok but if you don’t most of the staff don’t speak English. Not sure how the club membership rates besides having access to Magna restaurant and lounge but the service can’t be any different so for the price I paid for a regular stay not sure I would want to experience that . Would I return …… probably not 1st time experience for me is what counts in a property there are too many places to experience

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Pros: The resort grounds are beautifully maintained and create a relaxing atmosphere. Our room was comfortable and well-appointed with modern amenities. We appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail. Cons: Front Desk: We were disappointed with the lack of assistance and impersonal service at the front desk. While we understand the app is a helpful tool, we would have appreciated more personalized recommendations for activities and resort information, especially since this was our first visit. Entertainment: The evening entertainment was underwhelming and lacked variety. We hoped for more engaging options. Restaurants: While the food quality was generally decent with some restaurants standing out, the reservation system was frustrating. We encountered long waits at times, even when restaurants appeared to have plenty of availability. Service in the restaurants was inconsistent, with some staff members being attentive and friendly while others seemed disengaged. Beach: The beach was beautiful, but it was challenging to find available chairs, especially during peak hours. Additionally, drink service on the beach was infrequent and slow. Pools: The main pool's location and design weren't ideal for a lively atmosphere or enjoying the swim-up bar. While the quieter pools were nice for relaxation, more active options would be appreciated.

Food variety. Cleanness. Service, extremely kind without requesting of tips. Everything was excellent. We have been in many other “All Inclusive” and without any doubts this is the best one. One thing that should be improved, the End of the Year Show was not in the same level of all the rest.

My Review
The grounds were nice. There were times when the service wasn't so great. I. emailed the spa twice before arriving to make reservations for a service, but they never responded. My friend asked for her luggage to be carried to the front, and they didn't come. We went to the pool near building 15 before they closed at 6 pm, but the bartender was nowhere to be found, and there were no more towels stocked. The restaurant staff was great, and the rooms were nice! The check-in folks were nice as well!
