Beautiful, clean resort with amazing service! Felt very safe with Covid, the staff was always cleaning, sanitizing and masks and face shields. The actual resort was so beautiful. Modern and trendy updates. The food was amazing! I’m not a foody but my husband is and he said almost every day how happy he was with the food... especially the shrimp tacos beach side. Service was top notch, better than anywhere we’ve ever been. Miguel at the pool never let us have an empty drink! Joany in the hotel bar was the sweetest and kept the drinks full all night, every night. Every staff member from the bartenders and servers, to the pool entertainment and luggage helpers, were amazing and welcomed us back as we said goodbye. 10/10 would have rebooked a trip right on the spot if there wasn’t so much uncertainty around travel. The rooms were spacious and had tons of storage space. We had a beautiful view of the pool and ocean. I wanted to complain that the water wasn’t hot (after 7 cold showers in a row) but the issue was my very intelligent, college educated husband insisted the handle was pointed at “hot” and that was the warmest we were going to get. Should have done my own research on that one. We also like to sleep with the room very cold and we couldn’t get it quite cold enough but it was livable. One last thing, if you’re looking for a sign to book a trip, this is it and this resort will show you true happiness that the world is lacking right now! You will not regret it!

5.0 Travelocity Verified Review

Loved the adults only side! The beach bars were awesome! Beautiful view. Hot tub on the balcony was very nice. Several restaurants never opened while we were there. The food was good. Drinks were good also. Other than the elevator, the resort was very clean. The covid testing was very confusing. No one really seemed to know for sure what was going on. The beach was beautiful, but we did not get in the ocean much because the seaweed was everywhere.
