We stayed 2 weeks in Jan and i have to say it is a good resort for the most part. The beach is a bit rocky so bring water shoes, the lazy river is the best! The pools are great with lots of chairs, the beach is large with lots of chairs as well - we never had a problem the whole 2 weeks in finding chairs at the beach or pools. The food was a big disapointment for us not 5 star! The food didn't keep hot and was very repeative as most AIs are. The al acartes were good,s o make sure you do some. The rooms are big and spacious, very nice. The lobby and buildings are very boring - no color and stark feeling. The lobby was very busy , noisy and had a hard time getting seats there every night. All in all we had a great holiday but i would come back to this resort, i like more of a mexican feeling with lots of color and i like to have moer then 1 place to sit and drink at night besides teh lobby.

Not to worry, you will have a great time. The resort does have a bit of a stark feeling, but get to know the staff and they will go out of their way to help!! The lazy river and the pools are terrific........be sure to try the Electric Lemonade at the beach bar.............not sure what it is in it............but heaven on earth.

Have fun!!

We really loved this resort- we went in April 2007. Great pools, rooms, and amenities. They have a great smoothie bar by the pools, an ice cream parlor, and a coffee bar. We thought the food was good. Good ala cartes and lots of choices. We've been to many resorts in the area and it was solidly in the middle of the pack in regards to food. Great drinks, especially from the lobby bar.
