    Couples Trip 2026

    Food is just okay. But you can find something to eat. Steakhouse & Americana were the best 2 spots. The resort needs some upgrades but our room was nice. Cleaned when we wanted it. Fridge stocked. No complaints. Staff very nice and work hard. Front desk check in & out very easy. Joan (male) at front desk was amazing! There is a "party pool" that is entertaining and the other spots are good for relaxing. Plenty of pools to choose from.

    Go to a place that caters to your request, not this one.

    Went on June 6-10, 2026 Worst experience with an all-inclusive ever ( I guess one has to be rated worst, this is an easy choice ). Reservations for 4 rooms, 2 sets of parents each with 2 young adult daughters, reservations requested to be close to each other. When we check in each rooms is on a different floor. First night at the resort and the AC unit is not working at all. 91 degrees in the room with thermostat set to 68 when we checked in at 3pm. 5 attempts throughout the night ( 1 call, 4 visits to the front desk ) to have someone look at the unit and no one ever shows. Front desk was less than courteous, even rude at one point when I requested a water bottle. Resort remined us of Wildwood NJ in the Dominican, some very loud and rude quest, throwing cups and bottles off the balconies to the ground below. Grounds were clean and spacious for the most part but some areas need updating, fixing, cleaning. I really feel bad for the Waitstaff & Bartenders, they really try but the front desk, the face of facility, fail in their duties hurting the whole facility.

    Yall need to watch reviews, not read them.

    I was gonna stay here cuz I read great reviews until social media revealed the proof. TikTok is telling me something different. Food sucks, water doesnt work, power goes out, toilets don’t work properly, it’s more of a spring break hotel, not a family friendly hotel, check in took 2 hours, bugs in the room, dirty sheets… thanks. I’ve heard enough.

    Party and fun!!

    If you're looking for a party all day and night, this is the place. There's never a dull moment; there's always something to do. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, there are also areas for that. The buffet food is excellent; there's no need to bother with the specialty restaurants, although they are also very good. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for seniors, as it could be overwhelming for them given the number of young people who frequent it.

    Great stay

    Visited here in 2017. Was hesitant to go back because of reviews listed now but so wrong! It was fun. Definitely get better service w/tipping even though it says no tipping. Beds could use a change, very hard. All ages 18+ would still go back again!
