- El personal fue increíble: super amables, y todos pendientes para poder ayudarnos con lo que necesitáramos. Excelente servicio de parte del personal! También nos gustó la posibilidad de hacer kayak en los manglares, y poder navegar el catamarán.
- The staff at the restaurants went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time.
- Clean bedroom n good air conditioner, old, bad food, water down sodas/no service by the beach
Cons -
- La llegada masiva de buses con gente que viene para un "Pasadia" daña mucho la experiencia... en el restaurante y en la playa es muy complicado conseguir un lugar. La venta de sobrecupo no permite disfrutar de cada espacio tranquilamente ..
- Poor quality towels and linens, looked dingy and cheap. The property was not taken care of. Walkways should be cleaned daily to remove the animal feces. The worst part were the raccoons, they would get on tables to take food from plates while you were dinning! Beaches were littered with garbage.

Beautiful surroundings, nature, Son, beach and kindness everywhere
Chicken was not to organize, and neither was the on boarding process, no instructions on moving around the hotel, nor Wi-Fi, and the phone lines was never answered when I called from the hotel room
The rooms are big, A/C works great
Food disgusting! Drinks are bad! Not sufficient chairs at the beach for the amount of guests they have. Always long lines at the beach bar. No, nightlife. After 6pm not much what you can do. Boring, boring, boring….. Beach is not clean. And lots of stairs, feel bad for older people or for those who are used to claim 400-500 stairs per day
Nice private beach
Food-poor quality.Staff not welcomingGym almost destroyed and with crocks
excellent exect the open the pool late 9am and close early 530pm
the roads getting there are horrific
Good location, nice breakfast.
Third floor, no elevator and no help with luggage, very noisy water pump sounds all night so we couldnt sleep, lots of noise in the streets.
Buffet restaurant was ok...specialty restaurants were very average.
There was only one selection of wine and it wasn't very good. Food at the restaurants was very average. At specialty restaurants I wasn't asked if I have any food allergy...i ended up consuming something (cucumbers) that gave stomach ache and diarrea. I suggested to some Hotel staff the they should ask for allergies at the specialty restaurants since visitors are not able to see the food like we do at the buffets.
The place, the rooms, and the pools were amazing and super clean. There were some Iguanas and Raccoon that made even more fun the stay. The beach is very nice and the water too.
The buffet wasn't that exceptional and the same with the free drinks they offer. The restaurants were good, tho.
location, room and staff were nice.
services are poor, food is below average, no enough seats for guest at the beach. there was a power outage and no water for 4 hours in the evening.
The location, although the visitor boat traffic on the beach was a little too much.
The unkept common areas including the dining hall. The food was also sub par in general.
Nice beach.
We didn’t like it as much as we thought it was going to be. Bad accommodations, to high the price for what we get. The personal staff wasn’t good as well as other hotels that have a All Inclusive service.
The spaces it has are great
Energy went in and out many times. Wifi is not good!
Beautiful location and beaches and we especially liked the Playa Puntilla. rooms were nice and clean and the most of the staff were friendly and helpful. loved seeing all the birds and wildlife
no WiFi in the rooms - in fact, the only WiFi is in the lobby. The restaurant booking system is unclear and complicated. no signage or information on entertainment shows or daily activities. very much a “here’s your room - you figure it out” attitude. gift shop opened at 3pm so you were out of luck if you ran out of sunscreen or needed anything as location is very remote.
Beautiful location, care for the environment , variety for all tastes and comfortable facilities
some stairs mainly for the elder. but otherwise u derstandable and gorgeous
Beach. But I saw than people there saves the seats and areas shadowed very early in the morning, every single seat is covered or saved by a towel and it is very dificult to find a confortable area to enjoy the nice waters in the area. It should be the other way around. Costumer saving chairs as if it were a private property. Needs to be regulated.
I did not like at all was the poor cleaning f the whole place. The floors in the restaurant and resting areas were very dirty, as if it is not cleaned properly. It needs cleaning machines, not mops only. We were placed in an area for waiting the opening of a Euroasia restaurant, and it was very dirty with bird's dropping. it was all over the area, and also the furniture is very old and in a very poor condition. The bathroom of my room was also in bad shape, with the towel hanger broken. Apparently nobody check or take care of this facilities. Looks like than this place needs a very good administrator, a perosn whom know the bussines of hospitality. This a very expensive place to be in these poor physical conditions.
Very nice beach and several pools. Good buffet breakfast luch and dinner. Nice cocktails and drinks. Interesting wildlife. Had fun in the disco. Bit hard to book into the restaurants though.
great location, delicious food, we paid plus package and it was expensive but really nice
it’s a little expensive
Room is spacious. Air conditioning works fine, and not noisy. Beautiful view to the sea, for the rooms with that. Beach is the highest point. Very beautiful. Hotel common/open areas and vegetation are nice too. Food in "a la carte" restaurants, and also in the buffet, are good and tasteful. Spa area is really nice and gym room is also good and well equipped (opens only from 7:15am on). Swimming pools are really good.
Room (Plus fee, 4 pax) seemed old. Only one type of pillow is available. Shower is really weak. NO WIFI IN THE ROOM at all, even using another network from hotel administration, different that was advertised. Wifi only in the lobby and some specific areas. In our case, even our cell phone signal was very difficult to get. Although beach is the best place to enjoy, do not expect a relaxing quiet time since you may be forced to listen to high music coming from several portable speakers and sound boxes from different guests. Very much like other open beaches in Playa Blanca. After some complaints, to our surprise the hotel told us that they cannot forbid it...VERY IMPORTANT - Consider if you want to pay more for the top PLUS fee, they do not offer what is advertised at all ! No WIFI in the room. No guaranteed reservation in restaurants for dinner (we have tried to make a reservation and was full, went to reception and they told was full, even though we had the guaranteed reservation). No private/special check in/out. Only differential could be the use of a separate swimming pool and snack/drinks bar. Staff is really badly trained. At front desk, each one provides a different information. You have to wait a lot in the restaurant even to have your initial order taken. If you do not speak spanish, be prepared to have a difficult time to get what you need. Like most resorts finding any available seat by the beach or pools are quite challenging. Even though the hotel did not seemed at its full capacity, the lines for drinks were always there! One night was raining a lot and the energy supply went off. Without energy we had no water in the bathroom/sink/shower and no air conditioning. It seems the hotel has not energy generator for emergency supply.In a nutshell, the hotel has an amazing infrastruture, but try to find discount rates or consider if you have better options if the price does not fit your budget.
