Was a bit disappointed with the service. This was my third time staying at emotions and by far the worst service I have experienced here. We paid extra for a room with the swim up pool and did not get to enjoy it until the third day after calling front desk twice requesting for the pool to be cleaned. Our first night we had to call twice to request towels because the room did not have any. Other than that, the coffee shop was as good as always, the beach clean and peaceful and the restaurants were delicious.

Great all inclusive resort with friendly and helpful staff. Relaxing environment and long walkable beach. Areas of the beach from calm to slightly wavy. Seaweed on some parts of the beach but other parts very clear and nice to swim in.

Room needs some maintenance. Phone was not working. The second i have stayed in that the phone was not working. I reported the situation in the hopes that it will get fixed but did not happen. The hairdryer was hanging by one nail so it was not totally secured on the wall. The clothes drawer had a musty smell. I have to say that the staff are professional and friendly. The reason why I come back to this place. Housekeeping can do a better job cleaning the bathroom. I would still go back and stay in this property regardless. I always had a wonderful time. It’s my third time around. I also have to mention- the restaurant reservation process can be improved.

Our room wasn’t the best, rusty garbage bin. But everything else was nice. Good buffet options. Clean pool, clean beach. And it’s small so everything is walkable. The snack bar by the beach has better food option then the one at the pool.
