We travel out of the Country at least twice a year. All inclusive resorts every time since 1999. I have to say cleanliness, food and varieties, temperature of food and freshness of the food is the best we have ate at any resort. Lots of activities and bars. Actually the bar drinks at every bar were really good. All the workers went out of their way to please you. Rooms were spotless too. I highly recommend this Resort. We will be going back.

The property itself was great. The staff was great. If you forget something at home and need to buy it across the street, be prepared to pay 3x more than what you would at home. Nice to have entertainment but the Friday neon party was the best! I would suggest maybe having a sing-along night to a genre of videos, like karaoke but the whole audience can sing. For example, a rock n' roll theme night and the audience can sing along to the lyrics on the screen to well known rock songs. Another idea would be a kahoot event like a trivia night and there could be prizes like those given in the day. I would have also really liked to have more night lights around the property, maybe torches or solar lights down the center pathway to the beach. It would be very pretty, distinctive, and safer.

Great time at the beach!! Small property which makes it even better so you don’t have to walk far to the beach, entertainment or dining. Could also access the RIU Tequila & Yucatan for lunch & entertainment. Quiet at night, not a party resort, which is a bonus. Only $10 quick cab ride to 5th Ave which has all the shopping. Would definitely stay here again!

The resort is beautiful and the attention by the host is amazing. The only issue I had were the guest rooms. They need some updating and regular maintenance.
