Our stay was marred by several issues, including poorly functioning air conditioning and misleading all-inclusive offerings. However, the resort itself is beautiful with spacious rooms, and I had a wonderful dining experience thanks to attentive staff members like Jacinto Vite. Overall, while there were some positives, I was left disappointed due to the many shortcomings.

The staff was attentive at times, but their policies felt a bit rigid, especially concerning dining options. The air conditioning in the rooms was inadequate, which made things uncomfortable. Overall, the resort has potential, but it needs to refine a few areas to enhance guest satisfaction.
