The pool tables are in really bad shape, on their current status you're better off playing on the ground. The staff was amazing, very kind, they made the stay wonderful. The menus on breakfast and lunch had really few options, dinner was AWESOME, we had a ton of options but breakfast and lunch not really. On this app I booked a king sinzed bed on one room and they gave me 2 beds, when I called the front desk they said they don't have king size beds on the hotel anymore, they only have 2 beds in each room. Who does that??? If I want to sleep in the same bed with my partner I should be able to!! Also on the poolside the kids games are being narrated like a football game. I want music, I don't really care who wins the kid's contest, they can play but why the need to narrate it tho. I give it a 3.5/5 honestly. There's a lot of room for improvement.

Overall, the property was nice. The food options were very good and, the food itself was excellent. The alcoholic beverages were not so good. They had little to no flavor. The property was full to capacity and it felt very crowded. The adult only pool was non existent. We booked spa appointments and were very happy with the prices and services. The beach was great, too. Overall, a good place with something for everyone. Just crowded & disappointing that they didn’t enforce the adult only pool.
