Everything in the property is nice and beautiful except for the construction that is going on near the property where you can smell a littke bit of fumes from the construction when you are in the infinity pool. But the Waters in the swimming pool and the beach is nice and warm. All-in-all the place is nice and beautiful. The food is good and I enjoy every part of it...

Great experience overall, very kind staff at buffet and Italian restaurant. However there were some issues that disappointed us: 1. We have booked a room with Ocean view. However when checked in, a room with no view was asigned to us. We complained about it, they moved us to another room next day, however brought us lot of trouble as we needed to spend one night in one room and then move, which means unpack and then pack all of our stuff again. Besides all of that, we needed to left room at noon and new room would only be available at 4pm. I definitely dont agree with this policy, as it was not our mistake. 2. Cleaning on second room wasnt very good, we found hairs in the bathroom sink, which didnt give us a good impression. 3. There was a courtain on the shower part, but it seems just to be a temporary solutions as there was partial glass there. 4. We have faced a terrible experience at the Steak House, two different hostess were very rude to us because we didnt know how it worked. Lots of tables available, however they insisted only keeping half of it occupied. For me it doesnt make any sense and even if it does, I really believe there's a polible way to say it. The woman hostess at Sep. 18th even asked me: dont me speak spanish? When I sai "a litlle bit" she said: that's why you're not understanding how it works. First of all I didnt know that speaking spanish was mandatory to be there. Very unpolite and made a terrible experience for us.

The checkin was a disaster. The room that gave us had electrical issue. We wanted to change and they were going to downgrade us even tho we paid for ocean view balcony. It was too inconvenient so we decided to keep the room because we already unpacked. The electrician came 3 times and couldn’t fix the issue. The entire floor had issues so those room shouldn’t have been issued to people staying there. Everyone else we spoke to on the 7th floor with same issue got upgraded not downgraded. We couldn’t see anything in the room after 7 pm Since we only had two bedside lights which were very dim. The bathroom lights flickered especially when using the hair dryer and made it impossible to see. Just an overall horrible experience and the people at the front desk were rude and didn’t care. Also the restaurants on the property we horrible. From the quality of the food to the 2-3 hour wait time. The buffet was more convenient but we were excited to try all the different eaterys. However we disliked All of them and went to the buffet every night after waiting in line for hours just gone disappointed time and time again at each “restaurant”

Overall this was a nice all inclusive property. The resort is well maintained and my room was nice. The room had somewhat dated furniture in the sitting area, but otherwise was clean and nice. The staff were all friendly and the front desk staff even sent a nice birthday surprise to my room. Meal options were good, as was the option to get breakfast and room service to the room as part of the all inclusive. My only issue with the meals, is that the resort would frequently change the meal times at the buffet or at times in the restaurants and only post a notice outside of them, so I was refused breakfast once at the buffet for coming at 10:30a when it was supposed to be open to 11a and went to dinner one evening at one of the restaurants only to find out that they were closed. The resort should update the hours on the app that most of the resort uses. The pool and beach area are very nice and service there was excellent. The casino is smaller, but still had plenty of machines and tables and was not overly crowed. Close and within walking to shopping and the butterfly farm. Overall, it was a nice stay and a very good option in Aruba.
