It's a great resort It has a lot of pool options for you a lot of restaurants to go to The golf part of the resort is not free and it's expensive to participate. Quick tip they do provide transportation to the city via bus or taxi but always ask the resort how much it would cost to get back and forth never the taxi drivers they are running a side business and they will charge you more than the resort would. Also get your money exchanged at the airport they do have a machine in the resort but it does not work. Other than these small drawbacks the resort was okay I enjoyed myself The room service is great in the concierge service was very attentive to our needs.

The property was average. I had an ocean view which was nice, the bed and pillows were comfy but the shower floor was not sloped properly so water filled up and went outside the door so I had to sweep the water with my feet to the corner drain for it to go down. The toilet is low for kids, I had to request and iron/board and the iron leaked/sprayed water everywhere. The carpet in the hallway was badly stained and coming apart, the room exterior door was badly scuffed and the lobby couches were stained and filthy. I went to all of the restaurants except Portafino. Oceania was below average. The buffet was average but the Seaside restaurant was good. The lobby restroom had 4 stalls that were locked, I assume because they were out of order and the two that were usable were out of tissue and not maintained well. The hotel staff was very nice and accommodating but the hotel in general needs maintenance. I took pictures but don’t see where I can upload them.

The property can use more dining options, especially for dinner. A room specifically for a night club would be ideal as well as more variety of music genres. The property can offer more activities during the day, as well as make sure they show on the app. Spa was great, pool area was also nice. Customer service was awesome. Rafel was awesome, he helped with our bags and assisted with getting us a taxi. He was always available and willing to help.
