I asked Expedia to help me recover my money the second day I was at this place. I don’t think it should be included in any of your listings as a place to go. It’s very expensive, and it needs to be closed down. It’s very, very gross

House keeping needs more attention. There were some areas that were not cleaned, or were moldy. Food served at the buffet was good, but portion sizes were small and limited. Staff were nice enough but not friendly/inviting. The elevator doors close too sudden and quick, which is a hazard. The pool area are very small for a big hotel.

The room is the best I have ever had with the huge window taking up the whole wall facing the ocean. Huge room stunning view . The all inclusive food was not worth it For me, lots of people lots of kids not a lot of room to sit kind of hot not that clean. But still a cool place to stay . Beach in front was awesome and swimable. Not one vendor bothered me. It was worth my money. Next to mall and tons of food.

Worst Customer Service Ever! Had a booking error that was supposed to be for 3 but was mistakenly booked for just 1. After sitting on the phone with Expedia for over an hour, Expedia after several attempts to contact the hotel to correct the error could not get them to pick up the phone, or respond to emails. This all while we are literally standing in front of the receptionist at the front desk. After the unsuccessful attempts by Expedia, they stated we had to handle directly with the hotel staff. The staff including manager said it was not their fault that the error happened and we had to pay extra for the 2 additional people, no problem. Well we asked how much it was, and turns out it was the same price to get an additional room. So, we decided to just book the extra room. The receptionist stopped to no end to try and convince us to just pay extra to have the 2 additional persons added to the original booking, but if it’s the same price for an extra room why not book the extra room? After finally getting the extra room paid for, we were given the keys. We get the the original booked room, there were 3 king beds…. As if the original booking was actually for 3 people. Continue to the second booked room, key doesn’t work.We go down stairs to make manager aware that the key does not work, she gives us a manual key,that key doesn’t work.Get a new room,then that key didn’t work. Not enough characters to explain rest,but didn’t check in officially until 7:30pm.Terrible experience
