Took us 3 hours to get to the hotel when it was 20 mins away, no one can find the resort. Once we got there it was under construction and had two restaurants which closed most of the days, booked and ocean view room, wasn’t given an ocean view room. For someone who goes to Mexico a lot this was a rather disappointing since I took someone for their birthday. The resort itself was beautiful not little to no amenities or perks, service was slow, limited food options, if we knew out of the 6 restaurants only two would be barely available, I would have never booked it. Very inconvenient.

Amazing resort. Everything from the rooms to personnel was exceptional. Due to low season the restaurants in the resort offer a la carte menu. Yes, big part of resort is under construction, but it didn't make out vacation less enjoyable.

The staff was superb, the food was the best I’v ever had at an all inclusive including room service. The resort was clean & rooms were nice. They were currently doing some construction but it didn’t seem to interfere with our trip. There wasn’t much of a beach front to enjoy however they’re currently working on expanding it, which would be nice in the future. This resort is great for people or families wanting to relax and enjoy the paradise as there were only about 75 people there. If you’re looking for the night life this probably isn’t the resort of choice. They do have nightly entertainment but would be nice to have a little more variety especially with kiddos. Could also use more day time entertainment as well, but we still had a great time. The roads getting to the resort were horrible and could use some work ASAP. Also with the multiple changes in ownership & resort name our driver had a little difficulty finding it upon arrival. Overall it was a good choice and great family vacation.

Not the most ideal hotel, they advertise 6 restaurants and 11 bars I believe but only 2 restaurants were open and only 1 - 2 bars at a time were open. The bars are only open from 10-11 which is not ideal for a bunch of young people who would like to party. The swim up bar kinda lacked, they didn’t have ice half the time, the rooms were very well taken care of, but this hotel lacks entertainment and excitement. BE CAREFUL OF THE EXCUSION GUY LOIDY- he is a SCAMMER!!!!! I paid a lot of money to go out on excursions and my friend ended up getting drugged on one of them and later we found out that Loidy purposely sent us on the wrong excursions in order to make a profit. DO NOT TRUST HIM.

So I think our issue is primarily with expedia but also with iberostar. The property should have been shut down during renovations instead of having most of the facilities closed. ESPECIALLY - we should have been informed of these minimalist facilities when booking as I would have never finalized if I had of been informed. Food quality was exceptional but no buffet and repetitive food choices and confusing alternating venues. Beach front is non existent basically and in the middle of nowhere with only expensive taxis and Ubers to get anywhere. Alcohol unavailable anywhere after 11 PM!!!! Ridiculous. Zero evening entertainment nearly all the nights we were there ( DJ does NOT COUNT as a ‘show’). No hot water for the fist half of our stay. Gym was unavailable two of the days I was there and I SPECIFICALLY look for that and is very important to me. Especially when nothing is walkable for alternatives. The spa is extremely pricey but the service is above and beyond if you want to treat yourself. The staff was our only saving Grace here. Janet and Freddy went out of their way with the rest of the staff to try and appease our disappointments. Some of the exceptional Staff members- ALEXA, JAICO, CRUZ, ALFREDO AND OUR LOVE CEIDI!! Thank you everyone. Coffee bar closed ( another one of my reasons for returning) , carribean restaurant closed ( my favourite venue). Just super disappointing.

-Take every recent bad review with a grain of salt. Yes, they are renovating & some bars are closed BUT, we LOVED our stay & most notably, the staff. -We were greeted at the door with champagne by friendly & professional staff. Check in was quick, informative & easy. -The lobby smelled amazing btw. Our room was clean, modern, and comfortable. They provided robes, towels, water, tooth paste, tooth brushes, shower gel, conditioner, shampoo, soap.. sodas, beer, coffee, tea etc. -We will definitely return & can’t wait to see what is new after all the renovations are completed. -1.The food was incredible.. every meal was delicious. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and room service.. there wasn’t a single item I didn’t enjoy. I am pescatarian & they catered to my diet at every meal (the staff made sure to ask every time if I had any food allergies/diet restrictions). 2. Room service & daily room maintenance..the menu for room service is easy to order from & lots of options to choose from. The house keeping was great - room was always replenished with a freshly made bed, towels, water & other refreshments. 3. The entire resort was very clean. Beautiful landscaping & the grounds were being maintained 24/7. 4. They had daily games at the pool & evening activities (shout out Luis - crazy games!) 5. The service & hospitality are the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff alone made our trip amazing - everyone was incredible & went above & beyond any chance they had.

Resort was amazing. Italian restaurant was very nice for breakfast and dinner. Mexican not so much. Night timw you could see alot of mosquitoes there. Also they should bave more than just 2 restaurants open all the time. Other suggestion would be food options bh bar area.. They did hamburgers one day and Paella one day. People should be bale to orded to the pool if they want to since there is only ome swim up bar. Staff was extremely friendly. Activities guy for fun. Marcelo at the front door is very njce. Bar staff kept refilling our drinks.

Even if it was the low season, the hotel did not have enough entertainment for the guest. The bar closed at 11pm every night, which is way too early!...we went to a local bar twice during our stay to find some entertainment. I will say that the food was great, the rooms were nice and clean, and the staff very friendly.

Resort was under construction. Nothing to do. We moved to another resort after two days. Staff was super nice, room was clean. Food was delicious. When resort is done and everything is open it will be fantastic. I would recommend golf carts to rent or a pick up service. It’s a lot of walking for an older person.

The food was AMAZING, I have never had resort food so good. The room was beautiful as well as the views. But the name was confusing. My driver was confused as well as me. The resort is under new owners so it is very confusing the old name is Palmar beach resort. The resort has so much potential but at this time there is not much to do. If you are looking for any form of a party scene this is not it. If you are looking for a super relaxing non eventful time this is the place for you. The activities guy was so nice and attempted to get people to play games and always made sure we knew if there was any events. I really enjoyed all of the staff. I am willing to go back again in a few years.

The road leading to the hotel has way too many big bumps making the drive uncomfortable. 2 main dining out of the 4 restaurants on site were closed but we were not informed prior to booking which impacted our experience. Found a live insect in my food at the Mexican restaurant which makes me question the cleanliness in the back kitchens.
