Grizzy, May 2019
Pros (+) They had a variety of places to eat on site.
Cons (-) Staff was rude, the place smelled of waste and the ocean was filthy and unswimmable with all of the seaweed waste accumulation.

Poor
Alberto, May 2019
Pros (+) Mexican food was good. They gave out coconuts every other day.
Cons (-) Rooms were moldy and full of mosquitoes. Black mold was found in walls and curtains. Some staff expect you to tip then even though this is an all inclusive resort where taxes and tips are included in the price.
