This researt is going down very fast. Special service service. The day before yesterday we called to get espresso pots for our coffee machine. It took us 26 hours and four phone calls to get them. We are here for the fourth time never seen anything like that. This morning at the beach, I went to the bar. I asked for bottled of water. Jose Pepe was preoccupied with the beautiful young girl making her cocktail. I quietly asked if I can have a bottle of water no reaction after he was done. I quietly asked him if I can have bottle water but at the same time another gorgeous girl came in and ask for cocktail. So everybody can understand I left without the water Read less

It is the best resort. This was our 4th time. Everyone at the resort is so friendly and helpful. They make you feel at home. It is like seeing your best friends again. The beach is Beautiful, but what makes it great is the pool and beach staff. Martha, Alejandro, and Jamie are AWESOME. They are the best. They always greet you with a friendly smile and are always there to help make your stay memorable ! We had a special lunch at the beach, organized by Ms Martha, it was amazing!!!! If you like the beach, you need to go to this resort and meet Martha and Alejandro, THE BEST! ! There are several restaurants to choose from. We had a romantic dinner at Portfino. Daniela was the best. All the restaurants are good. We had a room in building 1 on the beach. Beautiful view of ocean front. The resort is closing in April 2025 for remodeling. If you get a chance to go before the closing….it is worth it…even though they closing in April 2025..it is still top notch now.. Read less

Not friendly for groups. Service was not helpful for groups at the pool, at the beach and at restaurants. The rooms with pools have a heavy smell of humidity. Those pools are always on shade so I do not recommend staying there. Better pick a room with view.

Nothing as advertised. Entertainment on adult only side was more like a childish shows. The adult pools are a lot smaller than the pools on the family side. The swim up bar on the family side had way way way more seating at swim up bar than was available on the adult side. Food was mediocre at best. Eat later in the evening and you get literal cold, not fresh food. Burgers that had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. Hard as rocks and could be used as frisbees, but definitely not edible. Housekeeping was loud and obnoxious EVERY morning. Outdoor hot tub on balcony water flow was a trickle at best. Ran only hot water, and byt the time it filled up, it was cold. Two different shower heads didnt work correctly. Cart service between properties was hit or miss and wait times were long. Night clubs and late night entertainment was ALL ion the family property and not on the adults only side. Read less
