Not a relaxing place to go. Drunk, rude young people. Screaming in the hall ways and fighting in their rooms. They had to call the national guard to patrol the place. The beach was nice but you can’t use it because the vendors come up to you and try to sell you nasty merchandise every 2 minutes including illegal drugs. The “Garden view “room was a view of the employee parking lot and a view of the smog covered city industrial area. If you want a drink you have to wait in long lines at the bars, with of course drunks cutting in line. There is no drink service to those around the pool areas. Beach volleyball was a joke. Especially when the vendors have no boarders. The restaurant were loud and filled with drunks.

Definitely a party hotel! Lots of entertainment, rooms were clean, staff was very helpful and friendly! Only complaint or bad thing about this hotel is that it’s very big and to get to the rooms some buildings don’t have elevator so you have to walk up lots of stairs depending on what building/ room number you get so be prepared to walk a lot !

Clean, decent layout you can get anywhere in 5 mins and the food was pretty good. This is more of a party resort than where you’d want to go and relax… You should bring ear plugs if you don’t want to hear college aged kids outside the building all hours of the night. Maybe just the time we went. (End of Feb). If you’re looking for a party, then this is your place. Not knocking it. The employees and staff were good to us. To each their own, we’re just not at that stage of life anymore where we truly appreciate this place. We’d probably go somewhere a little quieter in the future. If I was 25 I’d come back for sure.

We booked this trip about 10 days in advance with no idea what to expect. Check-in was smooth, though there was an unexpected $50 fee. The property is huge and easy to get turned around in, but the rooms and grounds were impressively clean. The staff is not friendly, especially the bartenders. Everyone speaks English. This is definitely a party property with loud music, lots of drinking, and a fun vibe. The food is average and repetitive across all the restaurants, and the alcohol is bottom shelf — the tequila shots were especially bad. Breakfast was good, they serve tacos by the pool but they are nothing special. The beach location is great, and we saw whales 5 out of 7 days about 20 yards offshore. We stayed in Building 7, which was perfect — close to the beach and a pool. Pro tip: the doorman will set you up with an $18 cab to town, but if you walk to the entrance gate, you can get a $3 - $5 Uber instead. Overall, if you’re coming to party and enjoy the beach, it works — just don’t expect great food, drinks, or a quiet atmosphere.
