Great stay. Not a party resort but a good amount people there to interact with. They transport you to the RIUs where parties are hosted. So that provided a good balance Of peace and quiet, but entertainment if you want it. The food was a 7/10 So better than most resorts. I’d come back. This was the first resort experience for my family and everyone said they’ll do it again.

I booked through Expedia for ocean view! I got to resort they asked if we wanted to upgrade to elite so we agreed but wanted to keep ocean view. Well we got partial ocean view. I go downstairs to upgrade my other party and explain what they gave me nobody understands. Also not to mention the parties are off the resort and other ones, when I go to resorts I expect my activities to be on site, not load on bus and travel. The drinks are not what’s in the bottle, I know what Parton tastes like and it wasn’t patron. The best part is the pool and view from the pool. It’s amazing.

The standout at this property is the staff. They are hardworking and wonderful. We had a great time and enjoyed the pools, food and drinks. My only complaint is that they didn't have much in the way of entertainment. When I last stayed at a different RIU in Cancun , they had entertainment nightly.
