Loved the little gal that runs around getting everyone excited about the activities, I believe her name is Katiyna. The buffet food is average, but enjoyed the sit down restaurants very good food in all of them, the only one we didnt try was the Japanese one. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful property, food was AMAZING, staff was very courteous especially our waiter Eduardo. Beach is stunning, clear blue waters not too much seaweed. Entertainment was very good! We had the best time, super safe area with a Starbucks right outside of the resort which is in a gated community. Bike\scooter rentals also right outside the resort and tons of shopping. Will definitely come back.
