The room had a bad odor in the restroom . We called but they didn’t never fix the issues . Also the restaurants long línea they should have more tables for more guesses . Also the bartender in the bar area need more help usually is only one of two for the hundreds of guess i think they can do better. Not a great experience for my wedding anniversary.

Overall I enjoyed staying here. I didn’t appreciate the long line to get on the wait list for the steak house restaurant, which was overall the best of the restaurants. Also, our toilet in the room was difficult to flush. The property is quite large and pretty crowded. I enjoyed the ocean view from our room.

The buffet was great at every meal! There is definitely a party pool and then more family friendly pools. They are weird about the towels so make sure you count the towels and cards each time you exchange them and don’t lose your towel. The beds in the rooms were uncomfortable and there were not enough bathrooms near the restaurants/event spaces. But the wait staff were so nice and the place was super clean and well maintained. I thought the check in staff could’ve been nicer and more helpful.
The nightly entertainment was really great especially the acrobats and the abba show
The buffet never disappointed

Bar tenders Tony and Armando were so fun - the others were very dead and dry to talk to. The resort building its self is massive and very clean. The food was good. Wasn’t anything exciting or great but it was good. Entertainment was good - no night life though. Every show ended at about 9-10pm then that’s it. Would be nice if there was a club or somewhere to go dancing at night. Overall had a great time here - beach is lovely just really busy, same with the swim up bar - EXTREMELY packed. We had the best maid names Laura. Loved her. Would recommend this place for families for sure!!

Fuimos a reportarlo y lo que nos dijeron es que “era NORMAL”!!! Porque las mess estaban al “aire libre” No quiero imaginarme como ha de estar o cocina infestada de cucarachas!!!
