Jacob Bray (Ezekial-EU)
Wouldn’t recommend this resort especially for Europeans who could find somewhere a lot nicer that is a lot closer. Pros: Great entertainment Food is decent lots of choice Location is beautiful Rooms are spacious and kept very cool cons: Issues with rooms and doors are not fixed at all we had to wait 6 hours for a door to be fixed. Staff in general seem inconvenienced by guests. Beach is a 1/5 really not how described. The pools are all quite shallow only 4ff in depth.

We stayed here last year and loved it. It is a bit older and so the rooms are kept up with love. Any issues we had were dealt with and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The resort is located quietly off the highway so a rental car was great as we were able to get out and explore without the buses. Lots of parking. Great entertainment if you want to stick around the resort and was family friendly. The beach wasn’t amazing but they said it was a bad time of year. The resort has everything you need if you chose to stay but is a quick drive to everything as well if you want to explore.

DO NOT STAY HERE unless you want to get sick due to black mold, or if you hate eating edible food. This has been the absolute worst stay I have ever had. We are not picky people, we just want the food to be edible and the rooms to be in decent working condition. The shower ceilings were covered in black mold and the showers smelled disgusting. My throat started hurting and I started feeling sick, The food here was absolutely horrendous. . Now, the most important part is the beach and pool. The beach had mountains of rotting seaweed, leading to a horrible smell near the pool and buffet area. The pools were murky and looked very gross. None of the dining areas have AC and most buildings are very run down. We wished we listened to other reviewers. I do not recommend this hotel to anybody, please read others reviews and make a better choice!

The overall experience wasn’t bad, but it was not a 5 star stay at all. We had spent extra money to be VIP and were not treated like VIP at all. The first day, sure yeah they brought us cold wet towels upon arrival but after the second day the service got worse. The VIP carts would drive past us and avoid us, especially during this heatwave. On our last day for checkout we went downstairs and saw a car, flagged him down and he saw us. Once we got to the front, he was gone with someone else. He came back around 10 minutes later to a different area and he took a detour. Once he saw us start walking he gave us a surprised look. He then drove right past us with an empty car. During our stay in the room, we had no privacy whatsoever. The staff would do a little knock on the door, we would barely even be able to hear it and then just walk right in. I wasn’t even decent when they did so, I was half nude and had to get my husband to run to the door. It happened multiple times that they just walked in. I really did not appreciate that. The pools were nice, but the water was a little warm and felt like I was swimming in a pool full of pee. There was barely any shaded areas, and what was shaded people had placed their towel there and left for a couple of hours. Half the time they weren’t even there but reserved a chair. I wouldn’t recommend this resort to anyone, nor would I come back.

The entertainment team are all amazing, keeping everyone in the holiday spirit and getting everyone involved. Especially Arturo and Wilbert bringing the energy and good vibes every single day! Cleaners have the room looking beautiful daily. The restaurant staff have all been polite and accommodating. The beach bar staff have all been exceptional. Very attentive and keeping everyone happy ! By far my favourite bar out of the choices. The only downside so far is the seaweed on the beach which is natural and cannot be helped, but a short walk left down the beach you can find a lovely little lagoon! As an independent travel agent, I would highly recommend this hotel to my clients. I couldn’t fault it in the slightest and definitely living up to its 5* reputation.
