"room #229 never wasn't cleaned, just changing the towels, no sink and no toilet were cleaned and never was vacuumed the floor. sand and little pieces of paper were on the floor when we just arrived. But the resort and food and entertainment were just perfect.Beautiful pool and the beach view was great. The Tiki Hut another great place to enjoy food and to listen the music. We would like to come back but the management has to do something to keep the rooms clean and also the corridor to the rooms."

"Great experience. Beautiful beach, 3 pools, friendly non-pushy staff, plenty of pool seating, clean rooms, great fitness center, free water daily, decent food, quality covered self parking. The only negative we noticed is that the hallways in our area were loud because there was laminate floors due to beach/pool access. Walls are a little thin. But, no issue with sleeping at all."
