A wonderful experience overall. The resort was very beautiful. The rooms were maintained well. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The resort is very hilly and spread out, so prepare for some good cardio. The restaurants were limited but the food was solid. Outdoor gym to lift, indoor gym for cardio. Pools were nice with plenty of chairs available. Bars had good drinks. Liquor wasn't top shelf, but was solid. Overall a great time.

Coming to this resort I think it’s important to keep in mind where you are at. If you are looking for a 5 star resort in Mexico or the Bahamas, this is not for you. The resort itself is clean. There are some areas that could use some upkeep, but it is overall wear and tear. The rooms are pretty spacious overall and again kept clean. We had some minor issues in our room, such as never having hand towels or floor towels and the tv and phone were broken. Overall, staff were pretty receptive and able to fix issues right away. The mini fridge was not kept stocked either. This is not a big deal for us, but for some it seemed to be an area for concern. We had a second floor room and had zero issues with any type of critter getting into it. I was initially skeptical about the amount of reviews stating that scorpions, lizards , crabs and raccoons were getting into their rooms, but this was never an issue for us. We did hear people talking about raccoons on their patios though. The resort does have tons of wildlife. There are iguanas by the pool and in the trees. We saw monkeys in the trees by the pool and grill. There are raccoons around dusk. We heard howler monkeys a few times over our stay. There is also a variety of birds on the daily. We also saw a lot of reviews about the food. Overall, we thought the food was good. The buffet upstairs is limited for options. We never had an issue with breakfast but, it is repetitive. For lunch, we did the grill everyday. The chicken there is

Needs more umbrella for shade at pools, pools need more cleaning then just scooping leaves out. More staff is needed around busy areas for cleaning during the day. Should have hotel shuttle to Coco Beach daily, and more change on had to help break larger bills we come with to we can tip more often.

Positives The staff are all friendly and helpful and work hard. They had to deal with many issues we had and did their best to remedy the problem. Food is good only. Staff tried to make sure our food allergies were accommodated. Grill restaurant was good. Italian restaurant had a lot more options and food was better. Oriental was the best Beach is good but sand is black and water is not clear so there was nothing to see snorkelling. The water was super warm and waves were mild. Kayaking is offered which we did and enjoyed. Wildlife is everywhere and you’ll see iguanas, coati, raccoons, tons of birds and howler monkeys. The howlers act like roosters and start howling at 5am for wake up call! Negatives Oh dear we had a lot of problems between the 6 of us and when speaking with other guests, we found out that we were not the only ones. One couple in our group was given a room super far away and was given a new room much closer to ours. But then that room a/c caught on fire and the room filled with smoke yet no smoke detector went off. They were moved to yet another room with two beds instead of one and often didn’t get clean towels or the room cleaned during the week. Our room had a repaired ceiling that leaked to the point that I had to put 3 buckets underneath to catch the water so it didn’t flood the floor. Someone came on day 3 to fix it at 1030pm (!) yet it took another day for the leaking to stop. Beach towels often ran out so we had to keep wet and dirty towels.

The food was always terrible, I stayed for 12 days and I was sick the whole time. The only time I was no was when we went on an excursion outside the hotel. They blasted music by the pool from 10 am to 5 pm, making it impossible to read or relax in the room. On the 8th day, they cleaned the room and left soapy water on the ceramic floor, I slipped and now have a gigantic bruise on my hip and on my elbow. I really regret booking this trip, I will never go there ever again.
