    The food was horrible at each of the restaurants. The beach had too much seaweed and I couldn’t enjoyed it. I was forced to stay at the pool area. First time ever experiencing this in any resort.

    Cleanliness and how nice all the staff were. I loved seeing the Adults enjoying themselves and the elders as well. I loved that it was separate area’s to pool party vs being away from the party.

    NO AC! Why there was 0 to none ac around the property? Only god might knows…. Ac only at food venues and rooms. Only 2 ( very old ) elevators- and none near my room- it’s not funny when it’s 35c out there and you need to take the stairs… Pacha bar / club is way to small for the amount of people Going there and no ac I only was able find 1 towels collection / drop off location

    Easy beach access , venues options. WiFi was great. Even during busy hours never felt fully booked which I found it great.

    1) The lack of a pizza and hamburger grill(freshly cooked) bar at night in the Lobby/Sports Bar area is a negative. 2) The music being played in the club should be the also on the speakers in the Sports Bar. 3) It took until our last day for the music mixes at the party pool and in the night club to become more of a party mix vs just using a google play channel and playing "whole songs" rather than a beat mix.

    The buffets are very consistant. There is a good variety of foods and the food is fresh throughout the day.

    The resort provided entertainment that very loud until 11pm-12am. It was very difficult to get sleep. Also, the fire alarm went off four of our five days. Mostly in the middle of the night.

    The resort staff were friendly and helpful! The property was clean and well taken care of.

    Some staff members were scarily angry to guests. Our whole party also got food poisoning from the buffet.

    This resort is great if you’re young & want to party. Great beach, incredible parties & always something to do! The food is average, and the alcohol is great! The jerk chicken at the beach is 10/10.

    Great Location and Food, But Serious Air Quality Issue

    What I didn’t like about the hotel was the strong smell of dampness and mold in the elevator areas and the rooms. This is not a cleanliness issue it’s a structural maintenance problem, and the odor is overwhelming. I avoided using the elevator and took the stairs instead. However, in the room, the only option was to open the balcony door. The smell was so strong that even the clothes I had hanging in the closet which I never used ended up smelling and had to be washed once I got home. The same thing happened with my cosmetic bags. Because of this, I don’t believe it’s safe to stay here if you have any respiratory issues. I sincerely hope the hotel invests in resolving this, as it can pose a serious health risk to both guests and staff.

    I really enjoyed the hotel’s location and the quality of the food. There were daily activities available, which made the stay more enjoyable. The beds were comfortable and allowed for a good rest.

    The air conditioning in the room wasn’t working, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable at times. Cleanliness was average—not spotless but not unacceptable either. The music around the resort wasn’t really to my taste. It felt repetitive and not as vibrant as you'd expect at an adults-only resort, though this is clearly subjective.

    The food exceeded expectations, especially the jerk chicken, which was hands down the standout dish—authentic and flavourful. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially in the restaurants, where service consistently felt warm and welcoming. Drinks were solid, with a good variety and generous pours. The gym, while basic and equipped with older machines, was still functional enough to get a decent workout in. Just note that only two of the four treadmills were working during our stay.
