Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Stayed 5 nights and had multiple issues. First room had cockroaches. We were moved, but the second room had a leaking bathroom, followed by an unpleasant smell of sewage. We reported both problems and got zero resolution or compensation.
Service was terrible, staff was rude, including the towel attendant who slammed the window on guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was a daily scramble, with food being removed even while people were still eating. The entire resort was overcrowded and tall the pools were uncomfortably HOT.
For the price and the number of rooms our group booked (23 family members) this hotel was a major letdown. Would not stay again.
Overall great experience on cleanliness, feeling safe, entertainment. We went with a group of friends and had kids aged 13- 16; they were on their own walking about nd not bored for a second! To mention the fine dining experience for dinner- most places you have to get in ahead of time or book to be able to dine. Great food though!
Regarding the buffet, the food quality deteriorated by day 3 nd selection of fruits were not that great. So rating 3 out of 5 for the buffet. But overall, great get away!
Food wasn’t bad but it was definitely quantity over quality with the options. Internet was pretty consistent throughout the whole resort. Room service came daily and tidied things up although the sheets and bed could have been cleaner as there were always visible stains on them. Staff were very nice and came very quickly to fulfill any requests. Overall not a bad experience and no one in our 6 person group got sick once.
The food was just okay. While there were many options available, I’ve had better at other resorts. The burgers, in particular, were quite disappointing. The restaurants booked up quickly, and we didn’t get a chance to eat at them because of that. The bed wasn’t very comfortable either. It felt too bouncy for a good night’s sleep.
On the plus side, the service and cleanliness were excellent. However, it seems like they don’t offer room service, as there was no menu in the room, and we had to wait for the buffet to open to eat pretty often.
The food was on point at the restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the rooms got cleaned each day. The pools are nice and the service at the bars are great especially the theater bar with Alex very funny guy and great service....
I never did receive my $500 USD to use at the hotel though as it was offered on this app...
