Property was great I don’t understand the reviews on here they seem unhinged. All staff were lovely, room was beautiful, impeccably clean. It’s what you’d expect of an all inclusive place—just beware of the culture you’re stepping into!

I was nervous about my stay after reading all the reviews and I would suggest ignoring a lot of them. Staff were friendly, helpful and always bustling to keep the place clean. They try their best to stay on top of the dishes and pool areas, but it may not be the minute you stand up from your chair. I thought it was all reasonable and don’t know why people complained in the reviews. The views were amazing. I had a room that walked out to a pool, which was a nice surprise. The fresh air was amazing. Keep in mind everything must be imported to the island so I think it’s best to have realistic expectations. There might be some stains or worn appearances on towels, sheets etc, but it is all clean. I didn’t have any issues getting sick and didn’t see anyone having issues with the food. I think a lot of the complaints about the food situation are really from the guests’ behavior. People using the tongs for everything instead of one dish, picking up items with their hands and just being gross people. The staff did an amazing job refreshing the food and keeping up with the demand. The pizza is fantastic. Food is standard for all-inclusive. You’ll find some amazing things and others not so good. There are 3 à la carte restaurants onsite and you can get a reservation one time at each restaurant (French, Asian, and Italian). Overall I enjoyed my stay and it was very relaxing.
