"When we arrived the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. They provided recommendation at the hotel and nearby area and helped set up reservation for dinner that night at nearby Atlantis Restaurante. The room was clean and had a nice set up with lovely view and balcony overlooking pools and ocean. We enjoyed meals at Atlantis restaurante at sister property within walking distance and breakfast Buffett at Ondamar Buffet Restaurant. We also enjoyed the saltwater pool and swimming in the ocean right off the property. The staff, property, and amenities were all amazing and we wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything. Next time we hope to use the snorkeling onsite. We would hughly recommend to others and hope to stay again in the future."

"When we checked in the room we were given had a broken door so we were moved to another room. The room we were changed to was not the same as what we paid for. We paid for a double sea view and had a corner view instead. We made the best of it. We enjoyed our stay and the nightly entertainment. The buffet had a different theme each night which was nice. The poor area was clean and had plenty of lounge chairs. The beach and ocean are right there with lounge chairs and umbrellas. There are 2 onsite restaurants which are included with your stay. We only ate at one of them and the food was very good. The resort is very family friendly and has a lot of amenities geared to the children. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it."
