Would not stay here-trust me.

Wouldn’t pick this as an actual all inclusive trip option. We ended up here because our flights were delayed a day and our initial resort was booked. This resort was very dated. The rooms were nothing better than a Motel 6. The water stopped working after washing our hands. The noise from the “party” was loud, the patio door didn’t close all the way and neither did the window in the bathroom. The drinks were awful. The food was worse. You get “beach access” by walking down a shady street to another resort and going to the beach. The “entertainment” is a joke. Not everything was actually included- which was confusing. Spend a few more dollars and get the good all inclusive experience elsewhere. But if you need a night to stay- still go elsewhere.

I came with low expectations based on the reviews, but it was a nice experience. A majority of the staff speak spanish, but I never thought that they catered to Spanish speaking people like other reviews stated. I did feel like this resort catered more to adults than children- I travelled with me two kids, the pools depth was about 5 feet in all of them. The jacuzzi was cold, so they used that as a pool as well. Not a lot for the kids to do on the resort. The food wasn’t good, but lots of restaurants at a walkable distance. We felt safe the whole trip and the beach was amazing…. It was literally 30 seconds from the resort and security monitored so that just our hotel guests could get through the entrance. The bathroom wasn’t that great in our room, but the room itself was nice. I would recommend this resort if you plan to spend most of your time at the beach or out exploring for a cost effective stay! One cool thing was that the bar on the beach was included in your stay- so you could have easy access to drinks!

Miguel, the food and beverage manager was AMAZING. He was so attentive and hard working. Was at the hotel morning noon and night all day everyday. Drinks were bad until i discovered the gin and tonic. Beer was good. Presidente. Food was pretty good but not my taste overall. Breakfast omelettez were awesome. Room was old but clean except when the A/C unit leaked and the mini fridge froze my mango and my friends insulin.
