I am aware that saying anything will affect the livelihoods of a friendly and hard working staff. This is a wonderful location but someone ruined what should have been an idyllic stay, by treating us badly on arrival.

This is a wonderful location but someone ruined what should have been an idyllic stay, by treating us badly on arrival. We had been looking forward to the stay for a long time, but booking/allocation management let us down. How can a pre-booking made in March 2024 be accepted but no room available 10 months later in January 2025?

Beautiful resort, service and food was a letdown
Jan 28, 2025821deannas
The resort is beautiful. The food and service is lacking. Some of the staff look like they do not want to be there and will ignore you at mealtime. The food was a bit of a letdown also. The same things everyday for meals with only 1 or 2 items changing. Some of the staff like Kamil and Dellary were absolutely wonderful. The beaches are beautiful…

The same things everyday for meals with only 1 or 2 items changing. Some of the staff like Kamil and Dellary were absolutely wonderful. The beaches are beautiful but there were alot of rocks in front of our Royal Palm room and we needed to go to the other beach. All in all it was a great trip. Also the entertainment nightly was great. Beautiful grounds but alot of walking and hills.

Perfection
Jan 28, 2025susanbrittan
For the price point we were absolutely thrilled! From top to bottom the staff was incredible. We especially enjoyed the water sports.
Just don’t understand that there are so many positive reviews. It is almost as if we had been to another resort.

My wife and I were not expecting much so our disappointment was even more surprising. The resort is very in need of renovations and some were underway. One section with the new pool was out of the way and poorly designed. First the food was subpar for even the cheapest all inclusive resort. Most of the meals were missing some part of the menu…

My wife and I were not expecting much so our disappointment was even more surprising. The resort is very in need of renovations and some were underway. One section with the new pool was out of the way and poorly designed. First the food was subpar for even the cheapest all inclusive resort. Most of the meals were missing some part of the menu whether it was fruit or fish or cutlery. The smorgasbord presentation lead to undercooked and overcooked food. The finishing touch on our last evening was a desert so over cooked and crusty that the quests stopped trying to dig the serving spoon into it leaving a small Dixie cup crater in the center.
The staff really tried hard to make up for the lack of any touch of class at the resort but their efforts, no matter how hard they tried, could not make a difference. They showed their own frustration with management and the basic lack of coordination of services.
Our unit had water stains, broken tiles and doors as well as minimal replenishment of the few room amenities. Towels were a precious commodity. In one week we were only able to get 3 refreshed beach towels because they just didn’t have them available.
We could go on but that would be just cruel to the staff that did try so very hard. The natural venue is beautiful with sandy beaches and swimmable water. But then again the beach furniture was awful and unpadded. See I can’t stop because I don’t know if the 5 star reviews were at this resort…..

10 day couple stay to relax, swim and gym
Jan 27, 2025maximio2025London, United Kingdom
Overall the trip was ‘got what you paid for’. The resort requires some money spent on it though to update. Absolutely could not fault the quality of staff, all so genuinely friendly. Disappointed about the gym equipment. Machines not working, bare wires and ended up being locked and out of use half way through the holiday. Although subjective,…

Disappointed about the gym equipment. Machines not working, bare wires and ended up being locked and out of use half way through the holiday. Although subjective, quality/variety of beer was poor.
Location was idyllic and random wildlife(pigs and goats) were entertaining!
