    My stay was a disaster. The food was unacceptable, and my suite fell far short of expectations. Despite paying a premium, the air conditioning failed to cool the room below 24°C throughout my four-day stay, even on the lowest setting. The room reeked of dampness so much so that I had to wash everything twice once I got home just to get rid of that awful order and the sliding glass doors to the balcony were broken or off their tracks, making them impossible for my wife to open. I had to exert considerable force to open them, so we ended up not using the balcony at all. The showers were covered in water spots, and the beds were poorly made with towels carelessly thrown on the racks. To make matters worse, the air conditioning would stop working at night, causing the temperature to rise to 25.5°C. I complained for two days, but the issue persisted. It wasn't until I demanded a fan at 6:30 am that someone finally brought one to my room, allowing me to get some rest. My experience was a stark contrast to what I expected from a premium floor. While the staff were friendly, the hotel's shortcomings made my stay unbearable.

    I loved the view because I booked a suite and the staff were friendly.

    Restocking of the room didn’t happen sometimes . food and drinks are not good. Only restaurants had decent food, staff is absolutely terrible of our 15 years of travel

    Location is beautiful and so is the resort itself!!! The problems come in with the service, rooms, food, drinks and staff.. coffee pot didn’t work.. didn’t get restocked will toilet paper 1 day or water.. u don’t get drinks in your room or frig.. staff is unbelievably SLOW and some very rude.. restaurant food is good but not the buffet at all.. not sure how that can be but it was! Pool is awesome

    There is a lot of bad here.. where do I start. Our room wasn't cleaned until half way through our 10 day stay even though we complained about it everyday. We ran out of clean towels and toilet paper. We saw a couple of cockroaches not only in our room but around the facility. The food from the buffets are unappealing. There are also rolling black outs where the lights and air conditioning will go out randomly for a few minutes at a time. The staff was rude and inconsistent with there answers to simple questions. Some of the maids and servers wouldn't even look at you unless you spoke fluent Spanish. We had to beg for clean towels and toilet paper. The excursions were over priced and unorganized. There are also no activities being done around the resort so If you are staying for a long period of time be prepared to get board and sit on your phone. The door in our room was so warped for the weather and neglect that it got stuck and we practically had to kick it down ever time we wanted in or out. And the second party on my trip got so sick from the food or water she was bed ridden in the room for 3 days, she is still trying to recover at home in Minnesota. I probably won't go back here. There are better stays for less money.

    Honestly there wasn't to much that we enjoyed, the drinks were strong but that is all I can think that was good. There was one employee that went above and beyond his name is Alex, he is amazing and made out stay alot better. He needs a raise!
