I love the workers there. Israel is the best bartender, Braulio(Boccio) is an excellent server, Jose Juan also the best waiter. I had hoped to see Double double(Sergio) but he was on vacation. The food was excellent. Love the upgrades to the lower restaurant.

This hotel lacks EVERYTHING starting with their customer service at the front desk to the bars, to the pool service, restaurants and coffee shops. Needless to say they promote having 5 restaurants but they are never open at the same time so ultimately your choices are slim when it comes To eating. This was the first time we have ever stayed at all inclusive and eaten out. The food is ALL the same, everyday, every restaurant. They say they have a coffee but it’s never open. They don’t have room service instead they serve tacos asada, alpastor and chicken every night. Every night the same meat, same bland food. Pool was Dirty. Rooms are very old in the main tower and tower 2. Rooms smell and bathrooms are way dated. Also at 1 am they turn off ALL hotel common area lights which I thought was odd and even a safety hazard. The Frida restaurant staff were rude and un attentive they just wanted you in and out. With all this said this hotel was pretty pricey. We saw better and well known hotels for cheaper and regret booking here. Put your money somewhere where they actually appreciate you as guest. Also when we booked on Expedia it said mini bar and drinks were all included however they refused to honor it and wanted to charge us additional to give us a mini bar and drinks. They said expedia was false advertising. Stay away from this hotel. I don’t understand how Expedia has it as a VIP.

The drinks were delicious. Most of the staff was friendly. Some seemed sad or angry. Really killes the vibe. The food was below average. The rooms were okay?? No dresser so just throw your clothes anywhere. The resort needs some TLC. Will not stay there again.

We just stayed there for a week and it was terrible! The room had a lovely view but was super basic; the beds were uncomfortable and the room itself was very musty smelling with barely- there air conditioning no matter how cool/ cold we set the temperature. The walls between rooms are super thin and it was very noisy. The food in the buffet restaurants was absolutely terrible! Cold food was warm, hot food items were room-temp. Only good dining was the reservation-only restaurant, the taco bar and the breakfast omelette bar. Overall, the place looked clean but the pools were filthy and the gym had an awful smell. I would not stay here again nor would I recommend to friends.

Too many people. Pool crowded. One beer option. Also, a vendor was cursing out my 90 year old mother on the beach for not buying a dress from him. I called security and they took the side of the vendor who was using horrible language with my mother. outrageous. The hotel staff did nothing when we complained to the front desk. We wont be going back.
