this once hidden gem has become a decieving property with false advertisment on their pages, charging for full all inclusive meals and drinks when we arrived and we were forced to pay the fee and had to shorten our trip and could never get a hold of this property to get dates changed and get a refund for 3 days we left early , and expedia gets a 1 star for service not handling our request and never returned my last email to them as i sent info given by genral manager Abel who is the theif from senses we will not eber return to senses and feel ver sad as we wer loyal customers for 5 years going there the one great thing was the service we got in the evenings from the best 4 men in the resort. travelers beware!!! my friend had paid for our trip as a gift and they were disaponted with the whole event

Outdated.

Outdated and not very clean. It seems to me that this used to be condos then turned to hotel. The bed covers smelled old and the bathroom had mold. The best thing about this place is the pool and that's it.

Good review; The views for this hotel are spectacular. If you are looking to not be around people and have nothing to do all day, this is the right location for you. The hotel was not dirty, just needs some maintenance. Credit to the staff.. The staff was really nice. Bad review; There is no direct access to the beach. You basically have to go through a hiking experience to get to the beach. You must climb rocks and go through other properties to get to the sand. How can you be an all inclusive hotel and yet charge an additional fee for all inclusive?? Yet, you only have two restaurants, one that closes at 5, and the other at 10- Same goes for the bar! Upon my arrival, I witnessed two other couples leaving the facility because of how deceived they were as well.

It’s not walkable and restaurants closes around 10pm at night so if you’re hungry after that, you’ll not have access to any convenient store or restaurant

Absolutely stunning hotel!! Beyond expectations!! The hotel is located away from the Main Street a little bit deep and the little road that lead you to the hotel is in very bad condition, but besides that it is totally worth your money!!

Staff was amazing. Resort needs major updating. Very little hot water. Rooms are old and outdated with broken faucets, showers etc. The staff is what makes the resort. Menu was small but food was well prepared and fresh. Thank you, Fernand, Pedro, Lilo, Johnathan for being great hosts and making the stay better.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you, but if you’re looking for entertainment, shops, and a little bit of fun this is not the place!!! You would have to get a taxi to 1 of 2 nearby places which is $30 back and forward!!! They only have two restaurants both for lunch, one for just lunch which closes at 5pm and for dinner it starts at 6pm and close at 10pm!! They have a small selection of food, no substitute and dinner changes every night it was 2 nights we definitely didn’t eat anything because we didn’t care for what was on the menu!!!! There is no arcade just a pool table and a dart board!!! A vending machine that only take pesos!! No water sports like it says and golfing was never offered as an amenity when it’s listed on the site!!! Plunge pool, and main pool was falling apart a serious renovation is needed!!! But if you can overlook certain things than you’ll enjoy your time!!!

This is not a resort, it is a hotel. Not in walking distance of anything. Can cost atleast $30 to any restaurant or entertainment. Room looks like the one on the photos minus the brown stains on towels, lack of cleaning and maintenance and piece of glass I found in my bed. Food: Don’t pay for their all inclusive. We did out of fault of Expedias website not offering it to us at booking and us having to pay at check in. The food is minimum and one note. We scheduled a private romantic dinner which never happened but still charged us. No buffets. Two restaurants open with limited hours. No they will not fill your snack bar that includes only chip and drinks daily during cleaning your room although we paid for the all inclusive. Pool: very dated and not maintained. Beach is off to the side shared with private homes. Pool furniture brooking, not maintained during the day, ran out of pool towels mid day, one staff member at the pool and no they will not come back but once to ask if you need another drink or anything else. No entertainment available. Ordered for a massage in room. Upon arrival said she couldn’t massage my hands or feet because I am pregnant. Cancel service immediately but they still charged us. Requested information on a tour asked 3 times over the course of 12hours from morning to evening and almost missed our chance to get the tour the next day. We always stay at The Princess and never had an issue. Stay there. DO NOY STAY HERE!
