Hotel masivo, deja bastante que desear, atención lenta, no tienen suficientes estacionamientos, comida deficiente, muy difícil usar los restaurantes, buena atención de los bares pero se ven sobrepasados, faltan lugares que estén abiertos simultánemente, excesiva espera para el chek in y el check out. Cobros adicionales al llegar.

I stayed with my family to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived on a Friday we were surprised to the amount of guests staying here. Just be mindful that this location is extremely crowded Friday thru Sunday. You won’t find seats when dining or any chairs by any of the pools. I was hoping we would get someone around the pool area walking around asking us if we wanted a drink. We didn’t get that. We did not need reservations to the restaurants but one thing I noticed is they make you wait over 30 minutes for a table but they have tons of tables available which I didn’t understand. Overall i would probably not return to this location but one thing I will say is the entertainment was a 10/10.

The rooms are outdated. To get into the shower you have a very high ledge to climb over. The shower was super slippery, needless to say we had a fall. The towels are old faded and coming apart at the seams. The food was limited on certain nights. To get beach towels you need a card that was not given to us on day 1. Day 2 I inquire about the cards and I’m told that they ran out and didn’t have any left. How do you not have enough cards for the amount of guests staying? So there are two days we couldn’t dry off after a swim. Don’t get me started on the beach. As you make your way to the beach you are greeted by all these vendors. They harass and follow you throughout the beach, couldn’t enjoy the beach at all. For me this resort felt like a forgotten part of RIU chain. Would not recommend.

The hotel in general was excellent. It was in great condition and extremely clean. The grounds were immaculate. The dining options were very good and the food at all restaurants including the daily buffet was excellent. The daily buffet had a few different options every day and was not exactly the same food daily. The pools were very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and at the beach. The house keeping service was excellent. The room was. Try spacious and had a large balcony. Sodas and water were replenished daily in the room refrigerator. The only negative about the room was the bed. The bed was very firm. A couple of negatives included the main entertainment stage in the evening catered to the kids with a children’s movie showing nightly. In my opinion, it should cater more towards adult entertainment at night. Also, during the “white party” a violinist played the violin to the tune of the electronic/dance music for about an hour and it was horrendous. The beach was beautiful and plenty of chairs on the beach. However, local vendors start hounding you as soon as you step onto the beach. But, they don’t follow you and do leave you alone. Overall, the hotel is excellent. We will be coming back.

The room was very dated. Staff unfriendly. Tv in the room was too small and showed a fuzzy picture. The light in the bathroom, over the shower was not working. The room was never cool enough with the AC running nonstop. The drinks were wateres down. The food was horrible.
