"Love it"

"Had an amazing, relaxing week at the Mirage. The staff made it truly special. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We were able to relax but there was also plenty of fun activities to enjoy when we felt more lively. "

"Resort looks glamorous but you’ll find out soon that there’s no sound proofing in between each suite. And you wake up at 2 am in the morning with the sound of your neighbors coming home from their party, or at 5am to the sound of people waking up for their early flight. Or at 8 am with people having casual conversations in the covered walkway. You head to the buffet and there’s lots of food selection, most of them, not labeled, so you choose only what you are familiar with. You approach the server for cutlery coz no one is approaching you and pull out your language translation app because they’re trying to talk to you in Spanish and you couldn’t understand. The only good service I had was when I gave tip at the start of my meal. The fountain pop at the buffet tastes like chlorine. The Santa Fe took about an hour to get 2 pieces of steak served. The Coral we had to walk out after waiting for 20 minutes and no server to take our order. The Kyoto, we didn’t attend because there was a line up of 12 people ahead of us. Pool is cold! The only things I liked about this resort are the interior design, the room cleaners and minibar stockers, the presence of indoor shops, the strykers bar, the italian restaurant, the calm water at the beach, the turtles, on site pharmacy, pirates water park, the shuttle train and expensive golf. Everything else is SUB PAR including both buffets and some of the restaurants, check in, night shows, driving range and most especially service :("

"Kids enjoyed the pool and archery. Food was ok not great. Staff was friendly. The room was not the best mattress was broke down toilet didn’t flush properly doors didn’t close properly. Noisy neighbors fighting at 2am on one of the nights kept us awake for hours."

"Clean room, friendly staff, great pool, great food variety, great drinks."

"Beach was great, Expedia’s booked room was for ocean view, property does not have ocean view. Housekeeping keeps forgetting towels. Room smelled like heavy bug spray upon arrival. Front desk did not respond at night. Lack of music around pool. Lack of communication for activities. Food was good, not authentic."

"Everything about this resort was fantastic!"

"Our second time at the Grand Sirenis. Very happy with our stay, they keep It well kept and very family friendly. Good Mix of activities, restaurants, and entertainment daily. "

"Some of the reviews we've seen about this resort made us nervous but our experience traveling from Canada with an 8 year old and a 5 year old was very positive. We were especially impressed by how helpful and friendly everyone was. We stayed in a Flate Swim Up Suite. The room was huge with sliding doors that closed between the bedroom and living space. It felt like we had two completely separate bedrooms with a huge bathroom. The swim up option was great for slow mornings or a bit of down time late in the day. We were able to interact with SO many characters. I was impressed that the Nickelodeon recreation staff would offer to take photos with our phones to avoid having to purchase the pictures from the professional photographer. Although there were lots of people around, the resort never felt overly packed and we were able to do and see everything we wanted. There were always chairs available at the pool/beach/waterpark and people naturally coming and going throughout the day. I understand why reviewers are hard on the food. It wasn't great but there were always options. The a la carte restaurants were fine but we stuck to the buffet for the most part so we weren't tied to a specific reservation time to eat. My advice - pay the extra and GET SLIMED! The experience was so fun and memorable for the kids and adults alike. Once again - the staff took my phone and videoed the whole thing so we have it to keep. So fun!"
