Absolutely amazing! Huge resort with astonishing beach views and amenities. Great restaurants, bars, pools, all on the beach. Stunning! My one recommendation would be the doors. They slam very loudly and will awaken you while sleeping.

I’d give this hotel an overall 2 out of 5. The location is pretty far from the main attractions, so it’s not the best choice if you’re looking for a good balance between nightlife and relaxation. The room also didn’t smell very pleasant, and several areas around the resort seemed broken or in need of maintenance. The bed was uncomfortable since it was two twin beds pushed together, which made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. The staff overall wasn’t very friendly, but Kayla at the front desk was an exception—she was kind and helpful during my stay. During my trip, I took a ride over to Kontiki/Mambo Beach, and that’s where I’ll be staying next time. The area had a much better vibe and was a lot more fun. Overall, this hotel was just okay, but I’d recommend looking closer to the beach for a better experience. & MAKE SURE YOU GET A RENTAL IF YOU STAY HERE OR YOU WILL BE PAYING 30-40 dollars a ride!
