The resort was beautiful. No complaints except the beds were too soft. No support for your back at all and there were not enough bathrooms around the resort. Basically only two restroom areas for all the restaurants and bars. There were several toilets in each restroom but you had to leave the bar/restaurant to go to them and walk a significant way to go to them depending on where you were.

This resort is beautiful and very clean. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly! The beach was great, lots of palm trees for shade and soft sand. Food options were great, for an all inclusive, I was impressed as some all inclusive food isn't very tasty! The only complaint I have was the noise level from the theatre down stairs. I was on the 8th floor and could hear all the shows and loud music from the ground floor till about 11pm. Also, you can here everyone in the hallway and the people in your neighboring room. Over all, my boyfriend and I had a great experience and would definitely come back!
