Took 14 people there. Employees worked hard to take carer of us. Room was big and cleaned. Most of the shows were great. However, it was a 15 minute walk to the beach at a fast pace. The tram they use is slow and not very safe or reliable. Somedays we didn't have hot water. Very poor water pressure. Sliding door was extremely hard to open. Need better lighting on trails with signs.

The outside areas of the property were beautiful and well taken care of. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach and restaurants. Our first room was old and dirty. The air conditioning didn’t work, so after two days (at 11:00 pm) we finally got a new room. This new one was more updated and cleaner. We asked for a later check out in return for the inconvenience of the first room, but they said no and told us we would have to be charged. That seemed like a small ask, and one that would have left us feeling better about our stay, but they wouldn’t budge. Overall, the food was good. Breakfast and lunch at the buffets always filled us up. We especially liked the Asian and Italian restaurants. It can be difficult to get reservations, so that is important to do right away. We couldn’t get any the first two nights we were there. That was disappointing. The entertainment team was fantastic all week! They always had things to do for kids on the beach. We enjoyed the nightly shows. All the servers and people we encountered on the grounds were very nice and helpful!

We had a nice time there with our adults kids and grandkids. Cons. Adult only rooms were older and electricity was out for days per other people while there and they didn’t offer a refund or to move to other rooms with AC and electricity working. Rooms were outdated and could use better care. Long walks from the family area to beach and large buffet. Buffett for lunch only open by the beach and none by the family pool and rooms. Free for all when the trolly came by making it hard for older adults and people with children to get on. Pros. Nice drink menu for all inclusive. Buffet had a lot of options. Rooms were clean. Staff were friendly. Beach was great and clean with hardly any waves. Kids pool area offered fun for all ages. Expedia shouldn’t show the pictures of the main pool and all the bars since you aren’t able to use all of them with the package they sell you. You need to be Royal elite and that’s for time share people only. I fell in love with the pool in the picture and wasn’t able to use it. Expedia needs to update the actual information of what they are selling you.

Pros - staff super nice, my youngest broke his teeth day two and the buffet near us made him mashed potatoes - lots of activities Cons -Nicest pools were adult only or re only - husband got food poisonin day 5 and lasted more than a week - while he had food poisonin we didnt have runnin water for half a day, complained and no one came. Turned on the tap in all taps and zero water - long distance to walk to beach or for food and trolley was hard to get other ppl pushy - food just average - zero elevators worked in our building and we has to carry our wagon up and down each time - blasting music at the family pool right outside our room everyday which some ppl enjoyed but wasnt our vibe

Family came for a wedding. I cant get a drink by the beach because of my band. Roach in my room. Everything shut down at 11, so no food or drinks. Have to wait for a shuttle, once its fun outbof luck, you have to wait 20 minute for the next shuttle. I observed that i got a harder time due to my color. I was told at the beach i cant be at certain area because of my band but the people next to me they didnt tell them anything with the same color band. Its is an okay hotel.

Travelled as a family with kids 4 & 6, stayed in a 1 bedroom suite in a hacienda and it was perfect for some privacy. Each side had its own bathroom and thermostat (but one side never seemed to shut off the ac). Kids loved the water slides at two different pools and seeing the animals. There is a fair amount of walking to get around but it was managed by everyone but the 4 yr old. Buffet had a variety but also similar items daily and also had a station that would change from smoothies for breakfast to ceviche at lunch and margaritas & Paloma’s for dinner. We did arrive on a day of torrential rain which caused leaks in our room and others. Our room didn’t need repair but we heard from many others who struggled to get their rooms fixed up. We did have an issue getting into our room after check in where our bracelet/key wouldn’t open the door. Asked at guest services and they were supposed to send someone over right away but after an hour we had to go back to the front desk to get someone to fix it so that we could get into the room. Overall the property is large and spread out which means lots of walking but also lots of trees and scenery. Food was good not great, service in restaurants was also good. Buildings do require some repairs as they all do. Guest services seems to be lacking between requests as well as getting items replenished in the rooms when being cleaned. I might stay here again and I would discuss the issues with other interested parties before they were to book

This was our first stay at an all-inclusive and I would say overall it was good however the elevator up to our floor was “under maintenance” all week, room service was always cold, the tram was usually full, our late check-out that we paid for was interrupted numerous times with confused staff, buffet food was so-so, my daughter got sick and we bought some lozenges from the “gift shop” and they were overpriced by $30. Walk down the street off the resort to the pharmacy and buy things if needed. The massage was amazing, the beach was amazing, lots of gluten free options, snorkeling from the hut on the beach we’d recommend
