Mar 24, 2020We had a problem with my partner's flight home. It was cancelled at the last minute. The Concierge Juan spent much time on websites and on the phone helping us. After a few hours the return flight and hotel stay were arranged. He saved the day.

Oct 6, 2019Quiet compared to past resorts we have been to. Activities/shows are not as impressive but the staff members were amazing. Not a large variety of restaurants but the food was great. Room service was excellent as well as housekeeping.
