Very disappointing resort. The beach was dirty and had a major bug problem. I get it theres a seaweed issue going around but the resort next door had a beautiful well maintained beach. The resort is overall boring. There isnt much to do. One big pool, no swim up bad and the activities were lacking. When we went into the buffet not once did a staff member come up to us. At check out we called for a golfcart but ended up walking our luggage all the way from the beach to the lobby because they never came. We only stayed for a few nights for our honeymoon, so glad we didnt stay for a week. Do not recommend. You can find a wayyyy better resort.

We stayed here 7 years ago and decided to go back 11/21. I read some of the recent reviews and they scared me into thinking that the resort deteriorated since our last stay but we had an excellent time. Staff is friendly. Food is delicious especially the steak house restaurant and the Italian restaurant . Yes, you have to walk to the lobby every morning to make reservations for the next day, the walk is nice and healthy to burn off all the extra calories you’re consuming on the vacation. The car to take you around comes around every 15 min or so but only seats about 10. Yes, there is only 1 car, they can definitely improve that, but we didn’t mind walking. Yes, there are wild animals around the property, we were excited to spot coatis, deer, a family of monkeys, gorgeous birds and lots of aquatic animals at the beach. If you don't like nature, this isn’t a place for you. The resort is built on wetlands with lots of nature surrounding it. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is a kids club if you have children with daily activities such as tie dye, Ceramics, art &crafts, sand castle building competition etc. you can leave your child with the staff here 10-5pm or stay with them for the activities they want to do. This is an included service.

The resort is all inclusive. Everything was clean and the employees friendly. I needed to access an elevator since I was on the second floor. Only one elevator worked. Most evenings it was very difficult to get a ride from restaurants to your building with a golf cart. It could take 30 minutes to an hour to get a lift.
