Staff was amazing. Resort needs major updating. Very little hot water. Rooms are old and outdated with broken faucets, showers etc. The staff is what makes the resort. Menu was small but food was well prepared and fresh. Thank you, Fernand, Pedro, Lilo, Johnathan for being great hosts and making the stay better.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you, but if you’re looking for entertainment, shops, and a little bit of fun this is not the place!!! You would have to get a taxi to 1 of 2 nearby places which is $30 back and forward!!! They only have two restaurants both for lunch, one for just lunch which closes at 5pm and for dinner it starts at 6pm and close at 10pm!! They have a small selection of food, no substitute and dinner changes every night it was 2 nights we definitely didn’t eat anything because we didn’t care for what was on the menu!!!! There is no arcade just a pool table and a dart board!!! A vending machine that only take pesos!! No water sports like it says and golfing was never offered as an amenity when it’s listed on the site!!! Plunge pool, and main pool was falling apart a serious renovation is needed!!! But if you can overlook certain things than you’ll enjoy your time!!!

This is not a resort, it is a hotel. Not in walking distance of anything. Can cost atleast $30 to any restaurant or entertainment. Room looks like the one on the photos minus the brown stains on towels, lack of cleaning and maintenance and piece of glass I found in my bed. Food: Don’t pay for their all inclusive. We did out of fault of Expedias website not offering it to us at booking and us having to pay at check in. The food is minimum and one note. We scheduled a private romantic dinner which never happened but still charged us. No buffets. Two restaurants open with limited hours. No they will not fill your snack bar that includes only chip and drinks daily during cleaning your room although we paid for the all inclusive. Pool: very dated and not maintained. Beach is off to the side shared with private homes. Pool furniture brooking, not maintained during the day, ran out of pool towels mid day, one staff member at the pool and no they will not come back but once to ask if you need another drink or anything else. No entertainment available. Ordered for a massage in room. Upon arrival said she couldn’t massage my hands or feet because I am pregnant. Cancel service immediately but they still charged us. Requested information on a tour asked 3 times over the course of 12hours from morning to evening and almost missed our chance to get the tour the next day. We always stay at The Princess and never had an issue. Stay there. DO NOY STAY HERE!

The property looked nice but then when we got to our room there was water pouring down from the ceiling in the bathroom and I slipped on it. We asked them to fix it multiple times never did and even blamed us for it happening. There is no hot water!!!! And if you wanna use the pools on your porch good luck. The food was good but they use the same two menus and rotate them so it’s the same food l over and over.

The restaurant here is horrible. IF you get your food, great presentation but tastes awful. The snack cafe is closed at 4:30 so the restaurant is your only option for dinner. We walked out multiple times for waiting over an hour and other times for not getting what we ordered and when we got food it was cold and way overcooked. The only thing good at the restaurant was one waiter, Hernan. When we had him, our experience was better. Food was still bad but he took good care of us. The wait staff around the pool and in the snack cafe were great. On the site they show pictures of a beach with chairs and huts. This is the neighboring property, NOT Senses. No beach to speak of unless you walk to the public ones. The scenery is beautiful but I would never go back to this resort. The hot tubs on the property are empty, old and broken. If you want your balcony tub filled, you have to request maintenance to do it. We did that and they never came. Another couple we were travelling with did the same, never showed for them either. They couldn't plug anything in due to outlet corrosion in their room. Literally, sparks flew. You have to ask for everything they say they provide right down to water and a hair dryer. Half of the tiles are missing in the pool or get stuck to you when you get out. We addressed our concerns with the front desk and they did absolutely nothing. DO NOT STAY HERE - YOU WILL LEAVE DISAPPOINTED AND HUNGRY!! It's run so poorly, a shame really.

We stayed here recently and did not enjoy our experience. We went as far as to call Expedia customer service and ask for a refund or to transfer to a different restore or something similar to our accommodations but were told that they couldnt help us due to Sense's refund policy. We did speak with the front desk about switching rooms as the one they originally put us in had an active water leak from a bathroom faucet. The hotel did give us an upgrade to "the honeymoon suite", although all this ended up being was an identical room but with a kitchenette with not a single dish or utensil in sight. I will say it appeared that they were starting to do some renos on some of the rooms, so hopefully some long over due TLC will help. This spot has the potential to be an awesome spot if some care and effort is put into its upkeep. They need to broaden their menu in both the snack bar and The Blend (roof top restaurant), they need to step up on the general cleaning of the common areas - we played a fair bit of pool while we were there and the same cigarette butt sat in the same spot on the floor for days, might still be there honestly. Some attention spent on grounds keeping as a fair bit of weeds were growing up through the bricks around the front fountain at the entrance, so its the first thing you see when you arrive. On the plus side a lot of the staff there was amazing to deal with, even with a language barrier, they still were great.

Positives: bartenders, wait staff and maids were exceptional. The beds are very comfortable. Food is very good with a different menu each night. Negatives: concierge service is not friendly at all. They have you text the WhatsApp for anything but they NEVER follow through with your requests. You cannot control the temperature in your room, you have to use the WhatsApp to get the temperature to be changed. There is always a dampness in the room so be prepared to wash ALL your clothes even if they are not dirty. If you even think you may use the pool on your balcony, you better ask as soon as you check in and it MIGHT get filled by the middle of your stay. Otherwise if you like a small quaint hotel on the water and don't require anything extra then this hotel is good.

I’ve been there a couple times and fell in love with the property then. But returning was not the stay I was looking for. The property needs an Overhaul from new beds, pool needs retiling, rooms need painting, the balcony tub wasn’t working properly mini frig wasn’t stocked had to call back after checking in. Too bad the property owner won’t hire me to oversee property repairs and overhaul. It’s Still a WONDERFUL location for getaways
