Good and Not so Good
Anne L (Saint-Lazare, Canada) on Apr 25, 2025
We just left this resort. It is huge!!! The employees are super friendly and food was very good. The room was OK. It could use some upkeep. The juccusi was stained and was not appealing. We didn't us...e it. The door to the balcony was broken and hard to slide. There is just 1 shuttle to service this huge resort. We waited 20 minutes and sometimes couldn't get on due to the amount of people who wanted this service. It was a scramble to get on as no one wanted to wait another 20 minutes for the next one. This was very frustrating. Beach and white sand was gorgeous. A lot of seaweed but people worked hard to clean it. Kids loved the slides. I went to the conceige about the shuttle. Not much help. I was told there were 3. That was not true in fact driver confirmed it. Restaurants were very difficult to book. We were a family of 7. The conceige helped us but I strongly suggest to see them when u arrive. Drinks were ok, not the best I've had. A menu or drink of the day would be nice. We would not return unfortunately.
Best Family Vacation for 10 days stay.
CWebber77 (Beaumont, Canada) on Apr 25, 2025
Family vacation April 7th to the 17th. First time bringing our 6 yar old son with us and second time at this resort. We have nothing bad to say about this resort! The food was amazing and always fresh and ...had the variety available for all of us.. we where 9 travelling together. Our room was always clean, stocked up fridge and fresh towels. The staff was the best part of our stay, so helpful and friendly. There was always a chair for us by the beach or pool, even with us 9 people needing them. The entertainment was a 10 our of 10. Kids club was great also for our 6 year old. I used the Gym everyday and I have never seen a cleaner gym at a resort. The only suggestion is to get more sets of weights, it was had to grab a set as the gym was busy in the AM. There is soo much to do at this resort and see.. for a 10 day stay we never go board. Our room was at the very front of the resort in the family section and it was very quite at night and during the day too.. We hardly used the trolly to get to the beach, we loved walking there and seeing all the beautiful trees and sounds in the jungle beside us. For those who have bad things to say about this place, I have no idea why you would. The beach was sooo clean and clear also. again the second time going and both times were the best!
