Reviews
5 star for personel service and kudos to Angel the golf cart Driver, David the time share Promoter, Bartenders Jessica, Gabriel and the Best one not sure of her name at the main adults only pool Mariolis? the bartender.
5 Facilities where really nice and manicured
3 stars for food in general, breakfast was the best, we tried some of the a la carte restaurants like Bloved and Toscana, in one of them they offered grouper and gave us red snaper instead without telling us, The food in general was just like banquet hall food Very lame.
3 Star for The room. We purchased an upgrade to access to the pool directly from the room was a big plus. But we had to kill more them 8 little tiny cockroaches and the bed was too hard for comfort.
Food- We thoroughly enjoyed the food at the adult buffet (Monday and Friday only for dinner; daily breakfast). The pastries were fresh. Lunch at La Isla-chicken burger and potato wedges were our favorite. Dinner at Tao Cat was the best. The sampler & pork with sweet and sour. Rodeo steakhouse was a total bust. Service was very slow & pork skewers were undercooked. Cheesecake was good.Reservations were usually required for the a la carte restaurants.
Drinks- Caipirinha with double Leyenda rum was our go to. Margarita & champagne were also good. Lobby bar closes at 1am!
Entertainment- there was usually live music or some type of show until 11pm. Kept us entertained from our balcony most nights while we smoked cigars.
Room- Very spacious and clean. Maid staff was sooo friendly. The shower is large enough for 4 people and has double shower sprayer and rain head showers. We didn't realize until the end that there are 2 maids (morning & nightly turndown) who serviced our room. We tipped both. They provide water soda, beer, peanuts, oreos. Hand soap vs bar soap.
Negatives - I wish there was a late night snack bar. They have pastries during the day at the lobby bar but not nightly. When you're drinking until 1am, you need fries, chicken tenders, pizza, etc to soak up the alcohol. Room service had next to nothing after 10pm.
We also found cockroaches in the room
We had to require a room change but holidays were spoiled, after two days; holidays were already spoiled
