“We just arrived today and are off to a very disappointing start.Food at the buffet was below average. We then checked out all the other restaurants where most refused to let us sit at 7pm. All restaurants are buffet style and serve the same dishes.Reception guy was rude and generally staff English is very poor. We called ahead to tell the resort that we are celebrating our engagement and they didn’t seem to understand what we were saying.The room is fine. Two beds pushed together instead of one which is annoying for a couple. Seems clean but needing updates and repairs to meet a 5star expectation.Acrobatics show was better than we expected. Beach and pool were both crowded but beautiful.”

“Our room was horrible, so bad that we couldn’t even stay in it for an hour. We went straight back to the desk and changed our room for several hundred dollars more, we upgraded to the Jr. suite. The room that we first received was dirty, the walls were stained with questionable residues. The sheets had holes, the light fixtures were falling off the walls, it honestly made me want to vomit, it was worse than a cheap motel. The Jr suite was a necessary upgrade (see pics below) I would rate the new suite 3 stars at best but it was much nicer than the first room. The resort itself needs an update, the red/black/ purple/ orange decor is outdated. The service is the only reason that I give this 2 stars. The food is HORRIBLE; there was no seasoning at all, the food tastes like absolutely nothing. Beware of solicitors on the beach, it was extremely annoying and we got scammed out of money because a guy would not leave us alone after taking pics with some parrots and a monkey. The beach is useless with the seaweed that crowds the water. I recommend bringing your own reusable cup, after seeing where the resorts end up.. (trash bins, pool etc). Overall probably my least favorite vacation.”
