My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is stunning and the resort itself is beautiful, making it a wonderful place to unwind. However, the service left much to be desired. There were issues with the all-inclusive offerings, and I felt that I was being charged for things that should have been included. The staff's attitudes regarding certain policies were a bit over the top, which made interactions awkward. Overall, this hotel has fantastic potential, but the service needs significant improvement.

I visited the hotel for New Year's with my family, and while we had a wonderful experience thanks to Jacinto Vite's exceptional service, the overall experience was hampered by some disappointments. The facilities were nice, but the attention to detail in service could be improved. The air conditioning in the rooms was not up to par, and the all-inclusive experience left much to be desired. While the resort setting is beautiful, there were issues with the services offered.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the staff was attentive, especially Jacinto Vite, who really enhanced my family's stay. The air conditioning in the rooms, however, was a major issue, and the all-inclusive didn't meet expectations. Overall, the setting was lovely, but I was left feeling disappointed by some aspects.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The location and facilities were beautiful, and I really appreciated the attentiveness of some staff members, particularly Jacinto from the restaurant. However, several aspects, like the air conditioning not working properly and miscommunication about the all-inclusive offerings, really dampened the overall experience. I was disappointed with how strict they were after check-out, especially after a nice time at the spa, which should have included a more relaxed dining option.

The location is beautiful and offers some stunning views, but I found the service lacking and the all-inclusive experience didn't quite match up to expectations. The dining options were frustrating, especially during peak hours when food availability was an issue. Overall, the facilities were nice, but I wouldn't recommend it for an all-inclusive getaway.
