Staff seemed fine. Servers in most restaurants were very nice and front desk as well. Entertainment crew did not engage with my group really so can't give a rating for them. Very different than my stay at Riu Palace in Cancun, very disappointed to say the least. Food was below average lots of options but nothing amazing, somewhat expected and is manageable.No coffee bar or area, have to go into the sports bar to get it but it always smelled like vomit. Pool parties were very fun and the reason we signed up but other than that no entertainment. Called a few times to get blankets and pillows but nothing showed up. Asked to get bottled water once and would get sent to different locations where they would have it only for the end to be the Sports bar where they said no. Would recommend adults only if you want a smaller crowd and more lively atmosphere. Really a 2.5 rating.

Different pools for individual likes, wether you want to party to great tunes, or relax in a quiet slow paced area, you can find it. Staff scrubbing and cleaning continually the grounds to make the resort sparkling for the patrons. Great food, with a lot of variety so everyone can find something they like. I will go again and have been there more than once in the past, never disappoints!!
