Staff are amazing! The resort was great and I’m sure if all the amenities were opened I would have given it full stars. Disappointed that some areas were closed without any notice, as the construction closures only referenced to accommodations. Buffet was good as were the restaurants. Nightlife seemed a bit quiet.

Room was beautiful. Food is great the Buffet is the best. The staff are amazing I am on a walker and the staff went above and beyond to help me out. The lady on the tram. Wow the best! My only issue is no bars in handicap toilets and they are regular height not handicap height. Also no door openers in handicap bathrooms. Hopefully they will be in the new Reno’s. Love this place you can be noisy at the pool or just relax in quiet. The animals that live there are an added bonus. Can’t wait to return ❤️❤️❤️

Staff was accommodating and friendly. Everything everywhere was very clean. A couple things- The property is still being renovated, the website states renovations are complete. Website also states there are 9 restaurants, a deli, snacks, 12 pools, 4 hot tubs and an indoor pool- amongst other amenities that were nowhere to be found. There are Mexican raccoons EVERYWHERE. They broke into our room, ate our food. There are 4 restaurants- we saw no indoor pool, hot tubs, nightclub, deli, snacks and about 6 pools. Disliked- the concierge (whom I believe is the link to Expedia) pressured us to attend a presentation, every time we saw him! A second concierge refused to book our complimentary spa services because we wouldn’t agree to attend! I was told initially that I’d receive a spa service of my choice for 2 and upon attempting to book was told I had to attend said presentation and the spa service was a 5 or 10 minute hand massage and could only be booked at 10am - if available. Needless to say, we received no spa service. Finally our flights changed so we arrived a day later and had to book an additional night and Expedia charged an astronomical price, and refused to give ANY credit from the first night which we missed. I was told I’d receive a refund of 50% of a night— I have not received anything.

Staff, room , amenities, overall cleanliness was amazing, but the activity provider/partner of the ‘princess hotels’ which is called “live it” is a nightmare, had lots or challenges with them , they rescheduled our activities multiple times(4times) with no valid reasons ,left us stranded(weather was great-no rain) totally ruined our vacation . This would be the primary reason I would not recommend to stay at the princess (sunset hotel). Hopefully someone reviews these and gets back with a proper solution! Looking forward to hearing from the team.

Overall we had a great stay! The food was pretty good and standard for a buffet style. The a la cartes were middle of the road- 2 were super good and 2 were not. Mama Mia was amazing- we went twice. We also got upgraded to a swim out suite which was incredible especially because we were celebrating a special occasion. Staff were super friendly and helpful! Our only quam was the construction which the resort did not inform us of prior to booking or anytime before our trip. Had we had known, we probably would have booked somewhere else. There were lots of construction noises, à la cartes were closed, other amenities were closed, swim up bar closed, etc. Because of this we didn’t feel like we got to experience the entire resort however, since we were so kindly upgraded to a better suite, we took it all as a win. Overall, this resort is good and we had a fantastic time!

Room was changed 3 times 1 week before arrival, than once there it was changed once more for some maintenance issue. No compensation was given, was told they accomdated us just fine. The food was not that great, quite greasy. The beach was filthy the entire time, garbage was just washing up on shore. Disgusting! The rooms were in definite need of renovation, water damage all around the shower and toilet areas. Booked a king size bed with outdoor shower and jacuzzi was given a room with 2 double beds instead above the night club so it was nothing but thumping music every night from 11pm to 1am! Would not recommend and definitely wont be back, not the anniversary getaway we were expecting thats for sure! 1 out of 10

The worse service ever!!!! We. Checked in at 2:20pm did not get to our room until 1:30 later and our bags were still not there. The room was dirty, broken lamp, old furniture and there was also dust everywhere. The tub was yellow and the bed hard!! There is so much construction happening they should not put guests on that side. We fought to get a refund for 3 hours!!! Eduardo the supervisor kept hanging up on expedia and finally Expedia said they would refund us and we had to check out that same night find another hotel! We wasted our first day dealing with this and even after we asked for another room they said there were no options. I would never EVER stay at a Princess affiliated property!!! Rude rude staff and not a 5 resort that's a lie!!!
