I have stayed at this property 5 times over the last 5 years along with many others. I have always enjoyed my stay but this time will be the last. The first two nights construction below our room, so no sleep and early wake up. Spoke with manager and got moved. Second room no hot water and intermittent wifi, oh and let's not forget the power outages throughout the time and asked for maintenance and no show. A once nice property which I enjoyed turned into this. I have spent more time moving and dealing with issues then i have been enjoying myself and visiting with family. There are better places. TRS, Ocean Allure etc.

We loved EVERYTHING! We came the week before members week and there was lots of staff attention/ cabana availability. I will do my best to remember names but Jose May, Fatima, Dario( the chef) Mario/ Leonardo, Marna- were so hospitable! Ruben, our butler made us the necessary reservations before they were needed! Oh and the entertainment was so enjoyable, I may have she a tear or two! Franchesca was beautiful, engaging and made things so much fun! And.. Norma was the best masseuse!
