    Rooms a little basic, not feeling 100% secure given anyone can walk in from the beach & phone in room not working. Also people organising trips try and talk to you if you sit close to the edge where the beach is so a bit annoying if trying to relax by the pool or eat.

    Great breakfasts, and we saw a turtle come up onto the beach to lay her eggs one evening so that was exciting! The hotel will call/knock on your door if you request this when you arrive if you’re keen to see them. Note it was quite late maybe 11/11:30pm when it was spotted and they are on the beach for a few hours! Also the evening activities/entertainment were good including local singers/karaoke evenings and game nights.

    The rooms could do with some refurbishing. The furniture is a bit old and worn and for some reason our room was very dark. The breakfast options were a bit limited - one morning they said they ran out of butter. I also had to call reception multiple times for fresh towels.

    The location of the hotel is convenient and the pools are great if you’re travelling with kids.

    Food selection. We did not have the all inclusive package. In most all - inclusive places, the food is not the best quality and attracts a crowd that isn't the best quality either. The restaurant was definitely under staffed and sadly the quality of the food choice, presentation and selection reflected this.

    Location was perfect and we will be returning Condition of the rooms were basic at best and serves the purpose of a place to stash your stuff and sleep if you plan to be outdoors more than indoors. My children enjoyed the pool immensely

    The staff at check in could be a little better. Had to wait too long to get the room. The check in space was hot. We could have at least been offered some water to drink while we waited. There was ants in the apartment.

    Food was good. Ambience was terrific at the restaurant. Pool was clean and well maintained. Monday night entertainment was nice. Overall we had a good time

    The pool was dirty and never get to use it . They only give you shot glasses for drinking juice in at break fast that is poor.

    The room was clean and as we asked for connected rooms it was perfect for the kids and us.

    This resort shouldn’t provide all inclusive. They’re short of staff, the mini refrigerator isn’t restocked at all. You have to pay for champagne, food options an extremely limited, the one little grill for lunch opened an hr late then it takes about 1 or more for them to cook the food. You Have To PAY FOR SHRIMP. But wait they ran out of free chicken every day and even shrimp. My kids would cry with hunger pain because of the limited options and the late opening of the grill. Hold it gets better, there’s no Wi-Fi in any of the rooms only weak Wi-Fi on the lobby. But wait there’s no phones in the rooms that work!!!! How are every rooms left with no Wi-Fi or landline. But the receptionist area has a working phone. The is a poorly ran so called resort. It should be an inn or hotel not a resort. I payed $1,000 more for this resort than I did for the RIU in Jamaica the year before. How disappointing, no daily entertainment or kids activities. I actually ask for a refund of the all inclusive after the first night and was denied. Oh yeah rooms and furniture are extremely old. The beds are horrible.

    The staff was really nice, my little girl ran around all over the place they were extremely it patient with her. The food was really tasty the pool was kept clean.

    There was no access to work even though it stated on the website that Wi-Fi was included.

    There were a lot of options for breakfast, the food tasted great. The pool was really nice. Y’all should maybe extend the times of opening the pool.

    The online BOOKING SITE PHOTOS and captioning are all similar and do not give the viewer the benefit of distinguishing the type of room in proximity of location and in view of accessibility to the amenities. OUR REQUEST was to have an adjoining room and this was not the case. This booking was followed up with more than one direct phone call to the hotel to try and establish the request and other concerns as described. We arrived and check-in only to be unable to access our rooms for over 3 hours; and when the desk was approached about compensation for the delayed occupation of the two rooms; it was not well received by the manager, and had no success in attaining any (complimentary alternatives or compensation). However, we were placed in the farthest building and on the top floor, away from popular facilities and away from my other 2nd room booking for my brother (referred in communications), which were both also far from where others in our group were mostly utilizing. Furthermore, the 2nd room air conditioner had issues with it also. With no elevators on-site, we requested both rooms be changed and this was carried out the following afternoon. Although not adjoining rooms, we accepted the rooms. It should be recommended to clearly get information from guests about accessibility, to avoid having a limitation interfere with a guest stay. Persons with any sort of mobility issue would have an issue with desired location of room to facilities. Additionally, there was a gentleman who was insistent on telling guests that the porpoises jumping out of the sea in the bay were sharks! He turned out to be the man tendering to the pool cleaning duty and he was unhappy with our knowledgeable correction of his shark accounts, which were alluding to multiple danger concerns. This dramatization is a negative and should be discouraged.

    Ordering the lobster a la carte was great, but a separate and additional cost from our all-inclusive stay.

    The pool was under renovation and you would not have know unless you contacted the hotel directly. In my case i found out after booking and i couldn’t cancel because nevertheless I’d be charged 50% of the fees

    It’s located on the beach, so it was easily accessible.
