Property is very large. Lots of people amd lots of walking!! If you want a chair by the pool you have to be up very early, every chair is reserved before 8 a.m. One morning we went out at 6:15 to watch the sunrise and half the chairs were already reserved. Entertainment by the pool during the day is pretty lame. Not engaging or fun like every other resort we've been to. Dessi, Adan, and Miguel in the Mezcal swim-up bar were great!! Be prepared to be swarmed if you try and even walk down the stairs to the beach. The people are set up to sell you things the second you get down there. They even lean up against the resort beach chairs and nothing was ever said. My son was asked if he wanted blow, weed, whatever you want multiple times. You go by the ledge of the pool to look over and they are standing on the bottom yelling for you. I thought security could do a better job on allowing their guests to relax and not be bothered all day.. Don't get me wrong its a beautiful resort & beach, amazing pools but not a whole lot of relaxation with that amount of people.

Love the way the property is maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to provide service. We really love our stay and looking forward to another exciting stay in the near future..

Worst experience ever. Got robbed at knife point staff did nothing to help. Later I tracked my iPhone and it wasn’t at the hotel anymore. Next day, I tracked my phone and it was back at the hotel. Saw later on the Internet that the security staff has arranged for some occupants to get robbed.I would never go back.

Someone collapsed in the pool and it took staff/lifeguards 10 mins to respond. The staff wouldn't stop the party and even told the dj to turn up the music. Took over 25 mins for paramedics to arrive. Having a pool party you think they would have lifeguards and paramedics on hand

I wanted to give this resort a fair chance despite the reviews but the food is indeed TERRIBLE, the drinks are either watered down or taste like rubbing alcohol. The rooms are bad, however they have an awful smell(kinda like sewer), we asked to switch room and that never happened, the bath towels are gross. Look I can go on and on. Honestly if you’re looking to party like you’re 20 with cheap drinks and terrible food this is the place, other than that I couldn’t wait to leave and NEVER RETURN.

I read both good and bad reviews about this resort. I would agree that it’s a ‘party’ resort with a wide spectrum of age demographics. There is a resort-organized party 3-4 times per week I believe, with the neon/foam party on Saturday, with a dj. That was fun. The food was great, with a wide selection of restaurants and buffet locations. Atmosphere is very clean. Great place for families, a destination with a partner or friends to party. I recommend this resort.
