No me gusto las piscinas, los caminos sucios, peste de animales domésticos, lo que ofrecieron en el paquete de todo incluido no es cierto de todos los restaurantes solo habren dos y es por reservación en mas de 2 ocaciones tuvimos que salir a cenar a la calle por no tener la reserva,solo uno de bufet y es lo mismo y no es seguro todo el mundo toca los utensilios para servirse,los cuartos qué reservamos eran solo para adultos y nos dieron unos en áreas de familias con bunk bed dentro del cuarto y bien lejo de todo,teniamos que pagar propinas para que nos recogieran y nos llevaran al cuarto todos los dias,el restante mexicano maracas esta cerrado solo lo usan los empleados, la disco cerrada,hay fotografos en la playa que te tiran fotos y luego te quieren cobral como $150.00 por paquetes de 30 fotos electronicas si estan en un grupo te las separan y cobral mas no caigan en su trampas y el hotel permite eso en sus playas y vendedores de todo tipo hasta drogas.otra cosa no pidan langosta en el restaurante Riviera por que salen endeudado como $100 dolares por colita y mal cocinadas.Lo bueno es que conocimos a jose un empleado de los lirios que nos sirvio con mucha profecionaidad le recomiendo ese restauran los demas nada de bueno.

The resort is nice and very clean.. the staff is very friendly ,and always willing to help.. the food is HORRIBLE!! The buffet they put a mix of items in the same container all mixed in, without even labels, so you don’t know what anything is.. the restaurants a la carte are also horrible. My kids could never eat pizza there, cause they put like an orange sauce in it and the cheese doesn’t even taste like it.. The beach is full of rocks, you can’t even go in the water without scratching yourself..definitely not going back!!
