Delicious Food Options

I was really impressed with the variety of food available at the resort. The buffet had plenty of flavorful dishes, and I particularly enjoyed the themed nights that offered unique Caribbean specialties. The Asian restaurant, Takara, was a standout for me. I loved the sushi and the main entrees were fantastic. Even the desserts were a hit! Overall, the culinary experience exceeded my expectations.

Relaxing Spa Experience

My visit to the spa was simply good. I had a rejuvenating massage that made me feel completely relaxed. The ambiance was serene and the therapists were skilled and attentive. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of activities at the resort. I recommend trying out their signature treatments if you plan to visit!

Comfortable Accommodations

I stayed in a room that was both spacious and comfortable. It was well-equipped with a mini-fridge which was restocked daily, and the bed was cozy. The housekeeping staff was attentive, ensuring that my room was always clean. I appreciated the daily maid service, which contributed to a smooth and enjoyable stay.

Great Evening Shows

The nightly entertainment was one of the highlights of my trip! I particularly loved the Michael Jackson tribute show – it was high-energy and the performers were great. Each night had different themes, which kept things lively and fun. I could easily see why so many guests looked forward to the entertainment schedule.

Had an overall pleasant stay at the resort. The spacious suites were a nice surprise and equipped with modern amenities, but the dining options were repetitive and the wine selection was quite poor. The service was attentive, and the peaceful atmosphere during low season was a definite plus. However, a serious bug issue in our room dampened our experience a bit.

We were upgraded to spacious suites, which were recently refreshed and had everything we needed. The layout was great, offering two bathrooms and large closets. However, the beds were a bit hard, which might not be ideal for those with back issues.

The resort is in a quiet area, especially during low season, and we loved being close to the club house and beach. I'd rate the location highly, but it can get a bit noisy with local guests on weekends.

Dining

Dining varied; the buffet was decent but repetitive, and the desserts almost all contained gelatine, which was disappointing. The Mediterranean restaurant was a standout, but the house wines were a huge letdown.

Facilities

The fitness center had a nice view while working out, and there were several pools to choose from. However, the tennis courts needed more equipment.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were reasonably clean and the excursions were fantastic, the dining options were quite limited and not very enjoyable. Additionally, the service at the buffet felt lackluster, making our overall experience less than ideal. On the bright side, we appreciated the well-kept grounds and the fantastic staff who truly put in the effort to make us feel welcome.

I had a mixed experience at this all-inclusive resort. The location is beautiful with great weather in February, but the overall quality of the hotel left something to be desired. While the rooms were spacious and somewhat quiet, I dealt with pests and inconsistent service. The dining options were hit or miss, and I found the spa services to be lacking. Still, the activities and staff were energetic, making the stay somewhat enjoyable.
