My experience in the resort was incredible. The nature is breathtaking and the animation team of the resort ( Uli, Ariel, Roberto, Vitalio, Leo, Federica, Federico, Shelly, Leidy, Elena, Sofia, Benjamin, Diego, Lilo, Mar. Manu, Juan Carlos, Elvin) contained interesting activities with a entertaining evening program.

Pros beach is beautiful and lots of playful waves! Nice and warm and long beach to walk. The resort itself is lovely close to the beach and lots of shade trees. We found our room very clean and the beds are very comfortable with nice soft pillows. Cons the beach chairs are extremely uncomfortable no takeout beachside food very loud music all day and night and 4 out of 4 of my group got food poisoning with others on IV from it Constantly hounded by time shares now have to reserve for a la cartes the new bottles of water seals were not tight evening entertainment very late and mediocre Never enough staff at the cafe for fun beverages coffee was awful

We travelled with a group of 8. All of us experienced illness at some point of the trip! We heard of lots of other people sick as well. Besides that the beach is amazing. Uli and Elena from the animation team were great! Food was okay when we had an appetite! The egg station at the buffet needs to be changed. People stand waiting for eggs breathing on platters of eggs bacon etc. Always lots of hot water for showers.
