Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed for two weeks by myself. It was too long for this type of resort. This place is absolutely amazing for what it is. But, this is a party resort. The music, DJ and loud drunkenness start early and go late. There are no quiet rooms but beachfront are the loudest. The service overall is amazing. The buffet is incredible. The room service is mediocre (unless you upgrade to “Elite Club”). My biggest complaint would be the lack of availability of bottled water. Unless your room is still stocked from check-in; you can only purchase bottled water at the gift shop. Overall, this place is absolutely clean, friendly and an incredible experience.
