Reviews
The food was good in some restaurants, and not so good in a few.
Most of the staff were nice and service minded, but some were quite rude. One waitress even made my friend cry.
Very Americanised tip culture where the staff expect tip for anything they serve or help you with, even if it’s an all inclusive resort (not what we’re used to in Europe, where we tip when the service has exceeded expectations and a good level of service is standard).
Extremely loud party music outside and in the hotel lobby area most nights until late so I had to sleep with earplugs.
Half the beach and pool chairs (and one of the pools) are in a “preferred” area which you have to pay 70 USD extra per night to use. We asked about this as some in our party had booked this option not knowing what it was, and some had not seen this on the booking sites used. We were told “all guests are treated the same, but some have paid for the preferred facilities”. All guests were NOT treated the same!
Two days they used part of the beach for a private event, so we had to move midday and squeeze in with the other hotel guests. Despite the beach access being smaller we still weren’t allowed to use the “preferred” side of the beach.
All the staff were very warm and welcoming.
The main thing for me was the ammount of sunbeds reserved for "privilage members" was almost double the amount than for regualar guests, also the accesible part of the beach was full cover with shades so the only area you could really sunbathe was around the pool and if you didnt have a towel on it by 7,30am good luck. I did find myself sunchasing with not a lot of success when I was around the hotel.
I gave it 3 out of 5 but that is mainly due to the noise in the room and how the "privilage club" got much better preference for sunbathing even though the number of people over there was minimal.
