I asked Expedia to help me recover my money the second day I was at this place. I don’t think it should be included in any of your listings as a place to go. It’s very expensive, and it needs to be closed down. It’s very, very gross

House keeping needs more attention. There were some areas that were not cleaned, or were moldy. Food served at the buffet was good, but portion sizes were small and limited. Staff were nice enough but not friendly/inviting. The elevator doors close too sudden and quick, which is a hazard. The pool area are very small for a big hotel.

The room is the best I have ever had with the huge window taking up the whole wall facing the ocean. Huge room stunning view . The all inclusive food was not worth it For me, lots of people lots of kids not a lot of room to sit kind of hot not that clean. But still a cool place to stay . Beach in front was awesome and swimable. Not one vendor bothered me. It was worth my money. Next to mall and tons of food.
