Everything was right but should have a premium package for drinks. Even in the Milwakee bar you have to buy a bottle. Should sell premium drinks.

The property was okay overall. We had the swim up pool room and it looks way better in pictures. The pool was extremely cold and dirty. Zero maintenance we barely had hot water to shower. The jacuzzi was cold with bubbles. Honestly the best thing there is the coffee shop and the staff who are so nice. But everything else is average and would not recommend. Too many locals which takes away from the quality. Not what I expected for an all inclusive.

The bar was okay, I didn’t use the spa. I don’t know why they put me away from the group that I formed. Everybody was in the same place. I was not allowed to visit them. All of them used a black cord and mine was purple.
