Everything is nice inside the resort, but as soon as you step out of it the picture is completely different. It becomes a real landfill. Why don't they clean all the garbage?

Despite the fact that the hotel was totally crowded, the staff maintained a kind service all the time. We had issues with the room as the hotelndid not follow the instructions of the bedding configuration of 2 queen beds, however they showed a very strong interest in solving the issue for us, and they did. The kindness of the staff makes it easier to wait until the issue is solved. Thanks for the service.

Rooms were clean and up to date. Staff were nice and friendly. The only problem would be people working for commission, they are very persistent and annoying. Or personal concierge, Santo, led us astray lying about a hire spa package that turned out to be a membership tour that took up 3 hours of my last day. Then they were trying to force me to buy in, saying it’s just money. I came here for all inclusive with everything I’m trying to spend accounted for, not to spend $2,000.00 plus dollars randomly for something.
