Pros (+) Everyone kept their word. If they said they were going to do something, they did.
Cons (-) One night didn’t have hot water. Could have scheduled my covid test easier somehow. It’s a process.

Pros (+) Food amazing
Pros (+) Walk up to any bar and get a drink (well of course, top shelf extra) FOR FREE! Well, it's included.
Cons (-) Needed more dedicated adults only sections/pools.
Pros (+) You can't possibly find nicer people. The staff is extremely friendly and as accommodating as possible. Great atmosphere for families, or with a significant other -definitely not for you if you are single. Beautiful location and maintained pretty well. Great poolside bartenders!
Cons (-) Resort almost completely shuts down by 10pm no matter what night of the week. Found ourselves bored which is unfortunate considering we chose this place due to the amount of activities and what we thought would be nightlife. The food was horrible. At every restaurant....even with the privilege option. Good value, great location and people but wouldn't return due to the food.

Book Sit-Down Meals Early
To secure a reservation at the sit-down restaurants, it's advisable to book early in the morning as the app for reservations may not always work, especially for larger groups.
Opt for Privilege Rooms
Consider booking a "privileged" room to access a private beach and exclusive restaurants, although it's important to note that the beach for this tier may not always be accessible.
Snorkeling Opportunities
Take advantage of the easy access to snorkeling right from the beach, especially for beginners, as the rocky beach offers good snorkeling opportunities.
Explore Nearby Attractions
Venture out to nearby attractions such as Oasis Beach, Dolphin Discovery, and the Puerto Aventuras Golf Club, all within walking distance from the hotel.
Check Entertainment Schedule
The entertainment schedule may not always be accurate online, so it's best to check with the staff for the day's schedule to avoid any inconvenience.
Consider "Privilege" Package Carefully
While the "privileged" package offers some benefits, such as access to a private beach and exclusive restaurants, it may not always be worth the additional cost, especially if early check-ins and late check-outs are subject to availability.
Be Mindful of Room Selection
Some rooms may require refurbishment, and there could be a mix of old and new rooms at the property, so it's important to consider this aspect when selecting a room.
Be Prepared for Buffet Experience
The buffet meals may have limited variety and could be repetitive, especially for guests staying for an extended period, so it's advisable to be prepared for this aspect.
Be Aware of Booking System Limitations
The app for booking restaurants may not always work, and the booking system for sit-down meals may have limitations, so it's important to plan and book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Consider Low Season Visits
Visiting during the low season in June may offer a less crowded experience, making it an ideal time to explore the resort and its amenities.
