    Resort was nice and quiet, food was delicious and service was great. We went over to the Riu next door for the pool parties and enjoyed the slides also.

    Great Place For Large Groups

    We had a group of 8 family members stay here for 5 nights and we had a great time. There was always something going on by the pool or on the stage. There was no shortage of activities. Though you cannot swim in front of the hotel, the swim beach is about a 10-15 min walk down the beach which we enjoyed. The pools were very warm but enjoyable as the weather cooled down at night. Our group was pleasantly surprised by the food. We ate at the buffet more times than we thought, we actually only ended up having two meals outside of the hotel. When we did travel out into town, the man at the taxi stand was always helpful and had a taxi for our group of 8 within 5 minutes each time. The rooms were updated, nice and clean. We had someone in our group get taken out by a wave and came back to the room VERY sandy. The staff cleaned it up without a fuss and the room was spotless. The service at this resort was truly unmatched. There is always someone around ready to help you find a table, food, drinks, or things to do. We truly could not recommend this enough, we will be coming back.
