The food was excellent and there is plenty of variety to choose from. The staff is very dedicated and working hard to make it a pleasant experience for each guest. The resort is massive and we walked usually 5 miles a day to get back and forth to the pools, ocean, restaurants. We loved the water slide area it is not just for kids! What we didn’t love was the amount of drunkenness. If you have young kids I don’t recommend the beach pools especially in the afternoon. The party atmosphere near the beach can get loud and obnoxious. We did hear some partying late at night but it’s closer to the RIU Party zone. Overall my husband and I were very impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the resort and we plan to go back.

This place is a lot better than most of the critical reviews will lead you to believe. Drinks are good, food is good and the vibe is very chill. You get what you pay for. Fine dining it is not(although many places put in some effort), but you wont go hungry unless its your own fault. We will probably come back in the future but we might try the palace for a smaller footprint.

You shouldn’t have to expect a tip to give a good service; no one ask directly for one, but quality of service change once tip was given.i cannot go to an all inclusive and plan to give a tip to the 100 people that I will be getting service from. The alcohol quality in the bars was the worse I have ever have. And the organization to be able to have dinner on most restaurants was terrible. They want you to go at 5 pm and write your name so they can give you an hour to go back and have your dinner; that takes out the whole concept of going to an all inclusive and relax. And when you call a hotel all inclusive and that laundry and spa are part of the amenities; you cannot charge for that. You need to put a note, you offer those services with a charge. The way is set up on the hotel information when making a reservation implies that is part of your all inclusive experience.
