The grounds of the resort are well kept and quite nice. The rooms are pretty worn out and not very well cleaned. The beach is great and the pools are nice. The food was pretty good with lots of options. Some of the staff were awesome, like a handful of them. However most of the staff, we found to be very unfriendly. Unlikely to return, mostly because the vibe didn’t feel overly welcoming. The rooms were not great but we didn’t mind as we spent almost no time in the rooms.

Had to ask to get towels delivered to the room after they took them and didn’t bring any back. The swimming pool is closed earlier than expected. Didn’t restock the amenities in the room. The food was OK but worse than what I was expecting.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The amenities were great and the pools were very good. The vibe/ambiance was very inviting. Our room was a nice size and the maid was excellent. We took advantage of the plentiful tables and chairs in the common areas. We were disappointed more key staff couldn’t understand English ( at reception and in dining rooms). Also felt more care could have been taken in mixing drinks.

The excursions with the animals on the property need to be in better condition ESPECIALLY THE HORSES. Any time we asked a question to the staff they seemed to be confused or just being indifferent about situations. The beach needs to be a little more cleaned up. There is a lot of rocks and branches. While the food was very flavorful the presentation was not great a lot of flies/bees in the food. The rooms need to be taken care of a bit more some had the light or the tv not working at all and the bathroom were also dirty.

Las habitaciones no estaban tan limpias, me refiero a la bañera, no nos cambiaron los paños, tuvimos q llamar para pedir cambio de toallas. En el buffet, en dos ocasiones nos tocó mesa con mantel sucio y sin servilletas de tela. Creemos falta variedad en las carnes y los postres no estuvieron con buen sabor, demasiado comerciales. Por lo demás el área de piscinas y los show. Estuvieron muy bien.

Lo mejor del lugar es el servicio del personal, cada persona con la que nos cruzamos tuvo buena actitud y eran muy amables, la habitación es cómoda. Lo malo del lugar es que si se siente descuidado, la comida se siente repetitiva y eso que nuestra estadía fue corta, además no tiene sabor como comida sin alma. El restaurante japonés la verdad no se siente de especialidad.
