7.8/10 Good! (1,010 reviews)
The place had everything you would need. Food, Drinks, beach access, and (even though I did not use their services because I didnt know they had them) they have excursions on site. The only two gripes I have is they offer a luxury upgrade for premium liquor and free room service, but only one location has the premium liquor and its at the very top of the resort. This leads to my second gripe which is the amount of walking needed to enjoy the resort. They do have shuttles, but they get full quickly and show up rarely or you call for one and it comes slowly. Still enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.

I booked this property because of the areas for kids like ferris wheel and mary go round and other entertainment along with multiple dining options on campus in all inclusive…. the children attractions have not been functioning for last 5 years and only one place for food was kind of a bummer. also the pools need to be touched up missing tiles i got fiber glass in my foot from the pool… very beautiful view and we had a blast off campus but things we looked forward to experience while staying there was a let down. place has potential but need a revamp and remodel

9/10 Wonderful! (446 reviews)
This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced.
