“This is a 3 star resort. I am Canadian and booked my trip through "SUNWING" they state it as a 5 star. I stayed there Jan 2020 and my stay was "just ok" I will break it down for you. I had my wife and my 2 boys age 3 & 5Accommodation:-beds were very old and only doubles. My boys were suppose to sleep on the pull out couch but the mattress felt like it was from the 1940's so they slept with us.-only one plug in the room worked to charge your phone(my brothers room had the same issue)- they cleaned to rooms but with heavy bleach! we had to leave the room and open the screen door on 2 occasionsFood:the food looked good but had no taste ( I understand the food isn't the best anyways but still wasn't great)- we were not able to get food anytime we wanted (at an All inclusive I would assume there is "buffet" open from 9-10pm) NOT HERE-there are different restaurants but they all are buffet, no ordering from a menu (which was not great)- I found it difficult with 2 young boys that we couldn't get food from 4pm-6:30pm. That's the time they open back up for dinner, which is bad timing with young kids.Drinks:- drink options were limited, 1 kind of beer and most of the tropical drinks came out of a slushy machine. I have been to other resorts were they use 5 ingredients to make a drink (not here)- servers were not very friendly eitherBeach:-beach was nice, lots of chairs to sit on (although grimy)-no drink service when you are on the beach- the towels they provide are a little worse for wear. I wondered if they cleaned them sometimesWater park:This was probably the best part of the resort, the kids really enjoyed it.I am usually not a big complainer, but this place was lacking a lot.I wouldn't go back”

“This is a nice hotel. Avoid the weekends it gets crowded!! The evening shows could be better.. I felt like staff was not probably trained to handle covid19 measurements, specially in the main buffet area. I was not able to enjoy the main pool at all, it was very loud and crowded..The room was nice but not the my bed.”
