Family-focused reviews and ratings
The entertainment team was amazing! Rafael, Luis, Alfred, and the rest were amazing, making the whole week so much fun. The resort itself was super clean and relaxing, with great food and drinks. Luciana, our concierge, was excellent!
Our favorite all-inclusive yet! The resort is fine, the staff is very nice, and the location is perfect. While the buffet could use some improvement, the other dining options were great. I especially loved the laid-back atmosphere and the personalized service.
Simply fantastic! The staff were amazing, from the room attendant to the bartenders; everyone went above and beyond. The grounds were immaculate, and the food was consistently delicious. We'll definitely be back!
My wife and I loved our second trip! The spacious suite, comfy beds, and well-equipped kitchen (even though we didn't cook much!) were fantastic. The staff were all incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. We especially loved the relaxed atmosphere; definitely not a party resort!
Absolutely loved our stay! The pools and beach were amazing. But the best part was the staff - Freddie, Omar, Martin, and the others at the pool were so friendly and attentive. The food at Los Murales was also a highlight - so beautifully presented and delicious!
