No entertainment! No DJ.. music was from 1980 slow jams. Food was good. We had to walk a mile to get to our room Villa 9C!!! Way too far from lobby and buffet. Pool parties are the best part of the whole resort. Staff are hard workers and super friendly. Cleaning all day long. Had better entertainment at the Riu In DR!

This has been my least favorite resort I’ve stayed at in Mexico. The pros are that it was affordable, room was relatively clean, the pools were nice and well kept up, it’s pretty close to town ($16 taxi each way), and it has a great view and easy beach access. Cons are that the it has either a party vibe or a lot of families with young kids, a mixture of ages and folks. The hallways were so loud we got woken by housekeeping every morning banging around mopping and moving furniture, you can hear everyone in the hallways at all times, the beds were not comfortable and the pillows were terrible, the AC worked well but is either off or blasting so loud intermittently to keep the temp what you set it at. the food is not good at any of the restaurants. All of the restaurants are buffet style and although they don’t require you to make reservations we often had to wait for a table for the buffet… when plenty of tables were available. The drinks are watered down, almost every soda machine had no syrup. None of the staff were very welcoming, while we didn’t have any issues I just didn’t find anyone working there to have any customer service attitude which was very different from almost every other Mexican vacation I’ve ever had. Almost none of the “villas” have elevators so you’re waking up two flights or more of stairs to and from your room every time you go there and that includes lugging your luggage up and down too because they do not offer help with that.

The staff were great and helpful. A lot of walking, make sure to take a stroller if you have babies. During our stay there was a group of single adults getting drunk all the time and being very loud and the staff and bartender kept of offering them drinks. Many other people expressed frustration to staff especially that we have kids/babies and this is a Family Friendly resort.

The people are beautiful, but they need more entertainment in the adult pool. The music was very bad. All they play is country music. If you ask them to change it, they cannot. You could bring your own speaker and they need to do more entertainment adult stuff cause if not you on your own so it makes it boring
