ericacristina.310, Aug 2015

Pros. Great hotel, great location, great stay. Amazing staff.

Cons. The staff at the front desk scheduled us a shuttle knowing our flight departure times and we ended up not being able to board our plane because we were too late. We ended up waiting 5 hours in the airport and each had to pay $200 us dollars to get a new flight. It was our first time flying internationally and we pretty much relied on the advise the hotel staff gaved us.

How are the hotel's facilities and staff?

We liked most everything- both facilities, location and especially staff were excellent and very accommodating. Lots of loungers and with the 3/4 pools and the ocean there was no competition for seating.

What are the main concerns about the hotel's services?

The food was just ok - not fantastic - could be improved. Also, the food and drinks could have been better. The Mexican restaurant was good, the Asian one was bad, the gourmet was okay, but the service was awful. Lastly, the buffet was best for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner, the food was meh and always the same.

What are the highlights of the hotel's location and amenities?

All inclusive meant all inclusive. No fine print on the limitations. Even the mini bar was inclusive and replenished every few days. The property was clean, recently renovated, and right on the beach.
