Tropical Paradise

The property was beautifully landscaped, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There were cats and dogs (birds,iguanas, crabs and a snake!) on property but they seemed healthy and well cared for. The food and drinks were good and a lot of variety.

Beautiful property with a wonderful staff! Food was amazing! Beach was fantastic! Very happy we picked this place to stay. Brush up on your Spanish. Most people in the resort and staff are Spanish speaking only.

Offered very limited items and activities. Food was lacking flavor and offerings were the same all the time. The stay was tolerable because the staff are very friendly and try their best to help.
Nydia, 7-night trip

Noisy and out-dated. Food was average (except the italian restaurant). The guys at the bar on Tower 1 next to the swimming pool where amazing and super friendly and helpful.
Emilio, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was nice. The rooms were a good size. The pools were great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was bland and uncreative. What was on the menu wasn’t what you got. Other than food I’d say excellent.,
Cynthia Gardner, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms need updated air conditioning. The bathroom need better ventilation. The rooms need to be fully cleaned bathrooms especially. Snack time needed more variety. They did have great transportation to the city. Great air conditioned clean bus.

6/10 Good

Clean. Good service. Mediocre food. Limited all-inclusive. Some goodies had to be purchased. Too much on the q codes. Reserve this, reserve that. Too beholden to check-in and check-out hours. I.e. arrive early, have to pay for food.
Paul Joseph, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The smell of mold n humidity takes over the room. Was assigned 4 different room n the have the same issue. Property structure needs maintenance. paint peeling, black molds n leaks in the structure is observed. Staff is really friendly and try to accommodate.
Judith, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pros: food was great and they do a fantastic job at encouraging guests to not waste food. Pet-friendly (even with strays). The staff was friendly and accommodating. We were allowed an early check-in -- it took 3 hours -- but we were grateful for allowing us to enter the room early. They also tried their best to accommodate a late checkout but they were fully booked and we could see how busy the hotel was. They also provide a shuttle service to town free of charge which was very helpful. Cons: There is nothing to do outside the hotel area. The Entertainment team and activities lacked creativity and budget.
