Amenities into the room

Upon our late arrival, after four in the morning, I was told that my room was not available because the resort was overbooked. I was given a smaller room for myself, my nine year old, and 72 year old mother. I was instructed to speak with another staff member the following day, at 2:30 pm, so that we could be moved to another room. Additionally, said staff member Yoan, asked that I provide a substantial tip in order to receive an upgraded room. We waited for a family of four to be checked in before being taken to our room. We were not given information about restaurant locations, meal times, the coffee shop, or other amenities. The bed room was located on the 7th floor, reachable via a set of extremely narrow flight of stairs. The closet door was broken, the air conditioner barely worked, and the slanted ceiling provided enough space for one window. We all slept on the king sized bed. The next morning, while at the pool, I saw the family of four that was checked in after us. They were given an upgraded room. At 11:30, I went to the reception desk and asked about swapping rooms. When I recounted the instructions that I had been given, the staff member made a knowing sound and asked that I come back at 2:30. I returned to the reception desk and spoke with several people. A staff member made a few phone calls and met with an additional member in a separate room. After close to 20 minutes, a third staff member disclosed the number of our new room.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, Room had an amazing view of the ocean. The food was far better then expected and alcohol selection was also good. My overall stay was amazing, got the rest i needed. I would definitely recommend the resort to anyone.

I didn’t like the limited dining with no room service and the limited activities on the property. Once the pool closed at 7:00 it wasn’t anything to do until 9:30. The room was nice but the mattress was extremely hard. We had to use the mattress off the pull out sofa on top of the bed for extra cushion.

Pros: nice beach, clean hotel grounds, good staff. Cons: It took 5 rooms until we received a room that was advertised on pictures.. initially they gave us extremely old room equivalent to 1-2 star hotel. Also all entertainment is in Spanish as well as all staff communication.
