The employees were amazingly friendly and helpful.
Staff here are so friendly and service was great. Fabian took time to talk to us in the mornings, he was welcoming and kind. Mario at the Italian restaurant was funny and kind, and provided great service as well. Everyone did a great job, and work so hard. The accommodations are clean and the building is also clean throughout.
We had a small issue with our room that came up mid way through our trip, but we were moved right away and there were no other problems.
Thanks for a great stay.
Always a great time when we stay here. Staff is always accommodating and excellent to deal with. They’ll go above and beyond to make sure your stay is amazing.
The staff stood out. They were amazing, starting with check in. We had a slight problem with our booking and Candy was very courteous with helping resolve the issue. She is definitely an asset to this resort.
It was ok. I guess that I expected more from an all inclusive resort. But the bed was comfortable & the water pressure was great. I didn’t expect to have to pay for in room coffee or the bottles of water, not very “all inclusive”.

Nice place to stay, convenient location, nice facilities.
Honestly such an amazing resort, the staff were incredible, inviting and wonderful. The pool areas were family friendly and so beautiful. The experience was beyond amazing
Ideal for families. Food was excellent considering an all inclusive resort, alcohol drinks could be better. I didn't like the resort fee and no free internet.

Beautiful property with great customer service & very friendly staff. Only thing I didn’t like was that there are no microwaves & no mini fridges in the room.
The resort is very clean and the view of the ocean is amazing. The food for the buffets was about average for a resort buffet. We had plenty of walkable options for amazing food. The cleanliness was amazing. The staff was always willing to help with whatever you needed. Definitely will be going back again
I like the golf club is across the road. The staff are very friendly.
Amazing views of the ocean. So many activities on location and off.
I’ll go back and recommend it. All inclusive or go eat out.
