All staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. There was a nice atmosphere in the evening with guests dressing up for dinner and the shows were enjoyable. We met the nicest, most genuine staff person at the “vacation club” presentation and now consider her our family friend(Frita). We felt the 3 hour presentation was deceptively presented at checkin as a part of welcoming new guests to the property.

The beach is basically un swimmable due to the seaweed. They did there best to clean it up everyday from the shore but the water is still very brown and full of seaweed. All food is only available inside the restaurants so you cannot have food at the beach or pool. Room was nice and very clean. Food and beverage Room service was very hit and miss. Other than that the service was good. Pool areas were nice and well taken care of , but always hard to get a chair. No internet included you have to pay per device.

We absolutely loved this place! The staff was super friendly and tried very hard to understand us as we do not speak Spanish. We traveled with our children 14 and 11 they also loved this vacation very much. Puerto Morales is a very cute town with shops and a beautiful beach. The food was very good and lots of options from sun up to well into the night you can get a bite to eat. Drinks were also good my favorite was the Margrita at the swim up bar! We were approached to sit through the time share option but we kindley declined with no issue. Our room was cleaned spotless everyday and my kids really liked the room service. We were treated so well we will for sure be back. The beach does have alot of seaweed but they work all day to clean it up and it didnt hinder our experience one bit somethings cannot be controlled and mither nature is one of them. We loved this place very much can't wait to go again.

I'll start by telling you that travelocity notified us of our two hour earlier flight change via email one hour before our new flight time!! My husband and I both have and are recovering from cancer so imagine us running with bags to check in and get to the terminal and on our flight ten minutes before takeoff!! We were sick the entire flight then had to maneuver through Mexico's terminal where the extra $140.00 round trip ride was waiting, he was wonderful...he was the best part of this trip helping us get to check in so we could lay down and recover from the travelocity flight fiasco. Next, our concierge Jezebel said she was checking us in but instead she swindled us into losing the $200 day trip we scheduled telling us we would get the refund and a free couples massage to sit through a 90 minute sales pitch for the hotel!! We thought we were checking in and being saved from a conartist trip until we were finally both so sick we had to tell her to just let us in our room so to please just get us checked in and we'd talk at breakfast. That's when she kept her sales pitch going. My husband and I spent the whole first day of our vacation in bed watching TV and recovering from the entire flight check in and sales pitch. We took an early flight to have a whole first day of enjoying the hotel resort. One day wasted!!! We ordered room service because we couldn't get a dinner reservation. The food was awful, it was inedible to say the least. This review is not done!
