5/5 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved the view and the food was great! Only issue I had is I originally booked the junior suite with swim up pool, but when we checked in they claimed they were over booked on those rooms. We were given a $250 credit which was nice but I really wanted the room we booked.

4/5 Good

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Overall very nice but for the price there are a few things that were not good. Check in was chaotic and took a very long time. They changed my room number three times. Cleaning of the room was not good. 3 days out of 7 the maid did not come to clean. When I complained they sent someone over at 5.30pm! The snacks in the room were never replenished. My room faced the ocean and because of the wind the window got dirty from the ocean mist but was not cleaned once in a week. Some public areas need repairs, faucets in restrooms that are loose, rotten wood in the black pool lounge decks. For the good part, food was great. All restaurants were open. Quality and choice of food is excellent. Noche Mexicana not to be missed. I was disappointed that for a Gourmet resort, none of the bars carried juices. They only had some syrups that they used in their cocktails. The health bar was the only place where to get fresh juices. The staff in the restaurants and bars and gardens work very hard and are very friendly, polite, respectful and helpful. The beach is not swimmable but there are enough pools for everybody to have a great time.

2/5 Poor

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in and checkout were nightmares. We had to wait about three hours for the room to be ready. Redemption was not friendly at all. Checkout wait was very long. Concierge wasn’t helpful at all. Made restaurant reservations without advising that there was a Mexican dinner night at a theater, which needed reservations, instead sent us to a different restaurant. On the day of checkout, concierge forgot to send a bell boy to pick up luggage. Rooms are outdated. Maintenance and landscaping were noisy around the clock.
