Hotel is very nice. It is right on the beach. The property has two main pools and children’s one as well. Also has water slides. The hotel is very nice and has great food. The price is very affordable. The rooms are a little dated and need a refresh. Overall the experience was great.

Very average at high cost - no all incl.
All inklusive but not at all “-all inklusive”.
Coffee, ice cream, drinks, bottle water, all cost extra.
Extra cost - taxes on food for foreigners - we were told it was the law, but asking again and again no one was able to show us it in written.
Facilities warn, not much (if any) updates since we were there 5 years ago.
The morning I used the gym it was not opened before 7.00 and it say opening at 6.30. After contacting reception at 6.40 it still took 20 min. to open.
And food is in general not at very high level.
Drinks was good, but extra cost.

Good hotel on the beach, large rooms.
Good hotel on the beach, large rooms, good pools, we had a corner ocean front suite with great views to the beach and mountains, two balconies.
Missing kitchen towels, paper tissues, face towels and coffee (you can buy it at their mini market), also they don't have courtesy bottles of water.
