Mar 31, 2025Dream vacation
Beautiful grounds and pools, exceptional food. The resort is spotless inside and out. We cannot say enough about the service of all the Staff members, they went over and above our expectations. I highly recommend this resort, you will not be disappointed...

Mago Spider!
Excellent the magician spider show, very enjoyable for both children and adults, incredible magic tricks!, excellent care from Jorge Cebrián at breakfast, excellent care and very clean facilities, My only observation is that it has no sustainability program in terms of waste separation, they should have in their facilities special cans at least for cans and pet bottles, I think they have much to do in that area.

Mar 26, 2025Great family vacation
Great place all around. Staff was friendly and attentive. It's true the rooms are a little dated, but that didn't impact our trip at all. Hidden gem: Jorge the mixologist! We didn't find him the first couple days, but enjoyed his mojitos and margaritas, then made my 9yo daughter's trip with a coconut drink at the end!

Mar 23, 2025Somewhere between ok and average.
Just visited for 5 days over spring break. Upon arrival we were underwhelmed with the property. It is older, the lobby is barren, and doesn’t give you any sense of “wow we are on vacation” feel. After that I’d say it was “ok”. Feels a bit more like a budget style all inclusive. If you didn’t pay much, you’d be happy and ok with the lack of amenities, below average food, and unenthusiastic service. Overall I was shocked this was rated “Best of the Best” and rated so highly. These ratings are misleading. Pros: Great pool, and nice swim able beach. The Andrea restaurant is pretty good and a much better option than the beach restaurant Ribera. Cons: No coffee shop, no bar (other than the pool bar). Only two restaurants to choose from. Buffet food at both is below average, and menu items are hit and miss. Lacks amenities you will find in most high end resorts. The staff is also not very attentive. Generally you need to track someone down and ask for exactly what you want. If you don’t raise your hand, you will be overlooked.
