6.8/10 (1,001 reviews)

Loved the pools and beach; just closed a bit early for what I would have liked: 5pm for salt water pool which isn’t salt water at all and is only a small area that is slotted for the hotel which is annoying for what they are advertising as the biggest pool, 6pm for pool with slides, and then 8pm for the main pool. When you pick your rooms and choose access to saltwater pool you are in for a long walk everyday since that building is the farthest from all other amenities and dining. Also all the water activities you have to rent equipment and it’s very pricey. I didn’t choose to do any of those. Overall I would definitely return being better informed how it all operates. Staff was super amazing and food was great! I definitely would recommend since it’s a great time! We stayed for 4days and did love it! Food was amazing with a great variety! Great for families and adults only trips. They cater to both with their different activities throughout the day!

8/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)

We had an awesome time at this RIU. The grounds were amazingly well kept, the food was mostly delicious, the beach was great. Near the end of our vacation, we were looking for things to complain about. And when you have to think that hard about it, l would say that you’ve had a wonderful time. I think housekeeping was one area that they could work on. We placed the…no service sign on our door. They still came in our room and removed all of the towels without replacing them. In room coffee packets weren’t replenished. So, the big question … would we return ? Most definitely YES. We’ll probably be back next year and bring our kids.

7.4/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)

There were no air condition in the eating areas, there were not a wide variety of food at the buffets, the alcohol drinks were lacking variety, the alcohol was not top shelf, the food could have tasted better, the ocean view was limited.

This is where the locals go. The sand is whiter and the water is clearer. They have great seafood restaurants there too
