The property is very well kept but certainly quite dated. The staff members were all excellent and very helpful. The food was okay but not exceptional by any means although there were lots of choices you could make. The buffet was definitely better than either of the two speciality restaurants. The entertainment was very good however the disco music at night was extremely loud and went very late. The pool and loungers around the pool were a stand out for such a small hotel. Although not perfect I would choose to stay there again.

Very old needs work. Food wasn’t very good and not very much choice at supper We had a big leak in our bathroom and luckily they were able to give us a different room. Staff was very friendly and being a very small resort it is easy to make friends. Not a lot of activities would suggest place is great for people who just want to get some piece and quiet. It was hard to regulate the water temperature in the shower. Our first room smelled moldy so happy we were moved

The property is older but the common areas are very nice and being well maintained. The rooms are in bad need of remodeling. Old, old furniture. We were there two weeks and suffered with a room that was next to the laundry (very noisy). One chair, not even a table. No sleep for two weeks. The staff was great. Food was good. Quiet laid back atmosphere. We will not return due to the unsatisfactory room.

Friends and neigbours.. make a better choice than this resort. The food is nearly inedible. There are hotdogs in the majority of the dishes on the buffet. Charro beans? Has hotdogs. Mexican style beef? Hotdogs. Chorizo sausage? Hotdogs with chorizo seasoning. One dish on the buffet during 'Italian' night was just.. hot dogs. Pepperoni pizza? The pepperoni was hot dogs. Protein in the pasta salads? Buddy.. you're not going to believe this - also hot dogs. Aside from the abysmal food, there was also the hellscape that was the showers. If you're a daredevil that loves to go from lava to a cold plunge then this is the place for you. If however you prefer just a nice shower that with temperatures that won't either freeze you or boil you alive, brother this ain't the place you want to be. It's also worth noting that our room keys stopped working - on average - three times a day. Which is especially inconvenient in the event you are having abdominal distress from the above-mentioned menu items. As for location, the beach is beautiful. However, the resort next door is pretty much an all-day rave. At night, our windows were rattling with early 90s Sandstorm-esque music which haunts my dreams to this day. We met many people who say they've been coming to this resort for years and my only question is.. have you ever tried anywhere else? The staff nearly without exception are lovely and kind and I can only say, they deserve better than this place.

Nice resort pool and room was clean and comfortable although a bit dated. Really nice staff, the beach was nice but could have a been a bit cleaner. The food was definately the down side and was only fair with the exception of a fantastic Mexican dining room. Overall we would recommend this resort with a great location.

Our stay here was okay! Pool area is fun for kids. There is a cute little slide area. Literally a one minute walk to the beach, which is awesome. The beach is very nice! The activities by the pool were ok, they wouldn’t follow what was on the board so the kids would get excited and then it wouldn’t happen. Honestly they didn’t do much for activities at all. There is no swim up bar but that’s okay. The drinks were delicious but the bartenders weren’t overly friendly! They were fast though. The food was pretty bad. There was not a lot of flavour in anything. Chicken was always overdone. The kids wouldn’t eat much but even the chicken nuggets were pretty awful. The drinks were great and the service in the buffet was very quick. The food at the snack bar was truly the worst.. not only that, there is bird poop everywhere.. all over the chairs and tables and floors, it was gross. We didn’t eat there often. Disappointed in the food overall. The night shows were a little disappointing. We were told there were shows every night at 9pm which is not true. Mostly it was bingo or karaoke and there wasn’t much of a turn out for those. We did see a fire show (that was great) and a “circus” show which was fun too. The cleaning staff was wonderful. Always had a clean room and a cute decoration on the bed. The room was not anything fancy. We found a really good deal for this hotel so we couldn’t pass it up, but we probably wouldn’t stay here again.
