San Ignacio de Sabaneta Vacations from $622

Everything was amazing. The food is good. I didn’t like Casablanca buffet just my preference. Snack bars are good. Staff is amazing. I really enjoyed my stay here. VIP is amazing. If you can afford it get it!

The staff was very friendly. Great entertainers. Food selection and drinks great. We liked that the cleaning staff cleaned daily.Unfortunately the room has deteriorating due to water leaking from hvac system.. the bathroom sheetrock on ceiling was peeling off due to leaking. The hvac filter was dirty and needed replacement. The hvac system probably needed maintenence. The sliding door patio had failed wheels for sliding door open..you literally had to push hard.. Hopefully this was just an isolated event. Overall, we would come back, the benefits still outweighed the pesky inconveniences.

The place was ok. The food was good, the room was so so, hard bed & lumpy pillows. The property was kept up but people just leave their trash everywhere. The everyday staff, bartender Jose at the dessert bar was amazing, housekeepers, waitstaff, were all superb. Always smiling and friendly. There is a lot of selling going on. There are timeshares for sale. We were asked several times to take a tour and we declined. There are people waiting in front of the CASABLANCA buffet waiting to sell you things. It’s constant. There is always someone asking to show you something. Within an hour of getting to our rooms, we had 2, we were approached by 2 spa appointment seekers and we booked 3 massages, in front of our rooms and paid cash. That night one in our party fell and hurt their toe. I went to the spa the next morning to cancel and was told that I couldn't get a refund. That the money left the property and that I could either book the massages at a later day of the week, get a credit for 320$ of product or get a certificate to use whenever I returned. I wanted a refund and was told for 3 consecutive days that I couldn’t get one. There is nothing anywhere that states cash cannot be refunded. We booked this on Saturday, canceled on Sunday and was told on Wednesday after days of insisting only a refund was acceptable, to return Friday for the refund. It was like the money was being kept hostage and in the end I only got it back in my hands at 11am while checking out on Saturday. 👎

I liked that the shuttle ran frequently, but needs better nightlife. There isn’t much to do at night. They try with low budget entertainment options, but there isn’t an area to dance. There is no nightclub and the casino is tiny.
