Be clear on your room reservation when checking in
Excellent property. Run to the highest standard. With that being said, we had booked a sea view room. We did get a sea view....acriss the kids envlosed playground and a major 7am to 10pm renovation. Pool and beach areas are fantastic...top notch. Very, very nice place,but, for the price, we were left feeling a little less than satisfied.

Wasn’t impressed with having to pay to use gym. The property offers things. But for a price. Prices were overpriced when you could go into town and get this for a 1/4 of the rate. Children galore. They should have an adults only pool.

It is defenintly far away from 5 star resort. Very outdated and overpriced. We stayed in one bed appartment and it did had everything to our needa but there was lots of damage to property. Like bathtub was damaged as well as laps and there was cigarette buds in the balcony and next to it. Avoided food at all cost after my 9 year old ordered chichen nuggets. Few good points really good mattresses gave us good sleep and also had beautifull beach next to it which was advertised as private beach and could be added as chargable.

Ran down property. Room was dirty and in need of updates. Not organized well. Lack communication as far as offerings, charges, etc. Definitely a 2-3 star hotel. Location is good, but the beach is over crowded with public access.

Great for couples and families
This is an amazing property! Great beach and pool areas. I assume it gets really crowded in July and August. June the crowds were manageable. All restaurants and bars were good. Easy ride into Old Town Family friendly with kids areas and pizza restaurant option. Good for grandparents also, although a lot of walking if you want yo get down to beach. Know that beach chairs and umbrellas aren't included. Extra charge. No extra charge for pool area. Night Club wasn't opening until July Highly recommend
