“Hola . Aun estoy en el hotel. Es mi ultima noche. La verdad la mayoría de las cosas estan para recomendar. Sobre todo la gente de animación. Pero hay cosas q la llevan mal. Mal. El spa sobre todo. Tuene un cartel de horario y dice hasta laa 20 hs. Llego 18.45 y me dicen q cuerra a las 19.No has ningun cartel q diga eso.Ademas veo q el sauna esta cerrado. Consulto y me dice que está en mantenimiento. No seria mejor q el mantenimiento se haga en horario de cierre ??? Es poco creible.En las fotos se ve claramente el horario de cierre.Como veo en comentarios q no son del todo buenos, la respuesta siempre es" por que no viniste a hablarlo personalmente antes de escribir tu reseña "....Bueno, comento q antes de escribirla, fui a recepcion y comenté todo esto... La respuesta fue : Bueno , vamos a verlo..Eso fue todo... La verdad , parece mas un chiste q una respuesta. Asi q aqui les dejo mi comentario con cero respuesta ante la queja. Saludos... Habitación 135 y 136”

“Very beautiful place with delicious food. Every restaurant had a great atmosphere and really nice people. As soon as we got in the door to check in there was a server walking around giving us welcoming drinks. The beach is relaxing and the ocean water seemed warmer than the pool. The swim up bar was awesome and the servers were pretty accommodating. I don't know how many times I ordered rounds of 20+ shots but I always eventually got them. There was a short period where they attempted to cut off our group but in the end we were still able to continue getting everything we asked for. They didn't have ginger ale so the server mixed Sprite and a little bit of a dark soda and it had basically the same taste. The entertainment people that hang out dancing around the pool and teach water aerobics were all very nice and fun. They were really good at getting people to join them and feel comfortable dancing. One of the people even brought us a little bucket of ice with a case of beer to fill it with. At lunch time one of our friends went to the buffet inside and asked for every single pizza they had and brought them all out to the pool for all of us to eat outside. Also, I'm not sure if it is a regular occurrence but on one of the days we had a beer drinking contest. For the contest someone brought over a little table and two chairs and would call out two people from the pool to sit at the table and see who could drink the beer faster. The neighboring resort had a giant bubble machine over the pool for people to play in, it looked like a lot of fun.There was a few incidents that happened that were very shady and unsettling though. One of our friends hotel room was robbed, their money was stolen right out of their safe so they had to go file a police report. My brother-in-law had his and his wife's passports moved from one spot of their room to another. When I was in my room with the "do not disturb" sign on my door somebody started knocking and naturally I responded saying not to come in. I assume they knocked just to check and may have entered anyways had they not known anyone was inside. Also, I should have listened to the tips about not going on the beach after dark. A red t-shirt was trying to sell us weed. The person was so dark you couldn't see anything but their shirt and hear "weed - grass - what do you need" and when we got closer we could see him reaching his arm out and holding a brown paper bag... It was definitely weird. That is when we turned around and started heading back. I couldn't help but notice this adorable mini palm tree so I went up to it and got a picture standing next to it. Moments later my foot felt like it was on fire and was instantly swelling up. I looked down and there were some type of bugs (fire ants?) crawling up my leg! I ran as fast as possible to the nearest pool to try to soothe the pain but it was burning uncontrollably. I recommend avoid going on the grass!One day while I was on the beach trying to take a picture in front of the ocean some guy came up to me and took my camera out of my hand and sat an iguana on my head and started taking pictures. It was pretty cool but then he told me to give him $20! He was very consistent and kept saying "$10 a person". I told him I left my money in the hotel because I'm on the beach and don't need it seeing how it's an all-inclusive resort... He continued asking but I just walked away. The iguanas nails were all ripped out probably for safety for us tourists but when I seen that I definitely wasn't giving him any money! Some of the people we were on vacation with said the same thing happened to them with a monkey and it had no teeth! Someone got bit by it and had a small circle on her hand from it's gums. First of all if they're going to ask for money from people to take pictures they should mention it BEFORE taking them! Instead of harassing people after the fact. Secondly the animals they are exploiting are being harmed for them to hustle people for money! That is not okay! Don't give any of them any money!”
