Travelled as a family with kids 4 & 6, stayed in a 1 bedroom suite in a hacienda and it was perfect for some privacy. Each side had its own bathroom and thermostat (but one side never seemed to shut off the ac). Kids loved the water slides at two different pools and seeing the animals. There is a fair amount of walking to get around but it was managed by everyone but the 4 yr old. Buffet had a variety but also similar items daily and also had a station that would change from smoothies for breakfast to ceviche at lunch and margaritas & Paloma’s for dinner. We did arrive on a day of torrential rain which caused leaks in our room and others. Our room didn’t need repair but we heard from many others who struggled to get their rooms fixed up. We did have an issue getting into our room after check in where our bracelet/key wouldn’t open the door. Asked at guest services and they were supposed to send someone over right away but after an hour we had to go back to the front desk to get someone to fix it so that we could get into the room. Overall the property is large and spread out which means lots of walking but also lots of trees and scenery. Food was good not great, service in restaurants was also good. Buildings do require some repairs as they all do. Guest services seems to be lacking between requests as well as getting items replenished in the rooms when being cleaned. I might stay here again and I would discuss the issues with other interested parties before they were to book

This was our first stay at an all-inclusive and I would say overall it was good however the elevator up to our floor was “under maintenance” all week, room service was always cold, the tram was usually full, our late check-out that we paid for was interrupted numerous times with confused staff, buffet food was so-so, my daughter got sick and we bought some lozenges from the “gift shop” and they were overpriced by $30. Walk down the street off the resort to the pharmacy and buy things if needed. The massage was amazing, the beach was amazing, lots of gluten free options, snorkeling from the hut on the beach we’d recommend

The staff are amazing, very clean super helpful, food was amazing. They upgraded us to premium at no charge, But then continually bugged us to go to a timeshare meeting, which I wasn’t a fan of. The check in took us almost an hour and a half, which was super frustrating, After traveling all day . My other Complaint is how much you have to walk. We were in the family section, our room was the farthest away from the main things in the resort. It was a A 10 -15 minute walk to main buffet, Entertainment, à la cart, restaurants, teen club And about a 20 minute walk to the beach. There were days that I put on 15 km walking back-and-forth. By day 3 your feet and your leg legs hurt. They do have a Tran But most of the time it’s too full and you can’t get on it and probably takes 15 to 20 minutes every round depending in the time of day. Besides that it was a great experience with my family and I did have a wonderful week . Definitely family friendly.

It was way too far to walk from the family areas to all the dining and shows and to the beach. 15-20 min walk each way. The trolly that would bus from each end was very limited on seating and only came every 20 min or so. If you missed it you would be waiting about as long as it takes to walk. It took me 40 minutes to go back to my room and grab kids goggles and come back. With 3 young kids a double stroller and a pregnant wife, it was not very easy to get around. The shows were great but short only 30 min. Buffet was also really good.

Property, beach restaurants and staff is all great t this resort but our room was stuffy and warm. In one whole week we had probably 2 cool nights. We were in unit 6606 which was a 1 bedroom suite and was not worth what we paid for it at all without cold AC! We called maintenance many times they came to check it out 3 or 4 times. On all occasions saying it would cool in 45 minutes to an hour and nothing would change! Very disappointing to ay the least.

Layout of the property is horrible. The family section is farthest from the aqua park and beach. The one trolly to get you there only holds 24 people, and there is 819 rooms. So there is a ton of walking. Not enough signs for where you’re going or coming from unless you download an app. We (family of 5) will not recommend or go back to this resort.

I have been here 3 times and have also brought an recommended others to come but sadly this will be my last time also for my family. Wrong accommodations,rooms outdated,and to top it off roaches in the bathroom. They were more interested in trying to sell me the 'Elite Membership' instead of trying to keep a loyal customer happy.Loosing one customer is too many in any business.

This was by far the worst all inclusive resort I’ve ever stayed in. The food was not good. I didn’t eat one thing that made me want to eat it again while there. The alcohol served to us was very cheap. We did not have our room cleaned for the first 2 days and had to actually call to request that it be cleaned. The water pressure in the showers was very low. Very few activities to participate in on the resort. We were suppose to receive wine in the room as Expedia VIP but never received it even after requesting it 3 times. We also had a spa credit that they wouldn’t accept at checkout when we paid for our spa services and stated that this credit would’ve had to be used at the time the spa service was booked. Animals, that appeared to be sickly monkeys and raccoons, were all around the resort going in people bags at the pools. I would never stay here again even if it was for free.
