4/10 Fair

My husband and I chose this adults only hotel/resort because we were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary along with his birthday. After our experience, I wish we had chosen somewhere else for the money we spent on this 10 day trip. Pros: - the weather is beautiful - the waiting staff/ambassadors are great and always ready to help - the view is gorgeous and the water is crystal clear Cons: - the beach is filled with rocks and the only area with soft sand is where the watersport area docks and we had to keep moving - be ready to be judged by two male bartenders. my husband and i skipped breakfast every morning so we usually came down around 1PM to start our day by having lunch and then going to the beach. one day, around 4PM the bartender told my husband he was cut off (because he thought we were drinking all morning) and had the audacity to call my husband drunk. another day, i ordered a drink and the bartender told me i'm an alcoholic. i have been on a lot of all inclusive vacations and i have never been treated this way. the audacity of these two guys to not care about our feelings or to ruin our vacation and say these things in front of other guests. i was left absolutely disgusted. I would not recommend this hotel/resort.

6/10 Good

There were many things that were supposed to be 'included' according to their website that just were not. when we arrived (late flight), we were told there was no food (even though 24/7 food is advertised) so after spending over 1/2 our day on planes and in airports, we couldn't even get a bite to eat when we arrived. The next morning, we slept in (due to our long day traveling the day before) and my wife tried to get some breakfast at 10:30am but was told that breakfast was over and we missed it. she had to fight with several staff just to get a bowl of fruit. The site also advertises 'motorized watercraft' as being included but we found out on-site that we had to pay extra. The location was beautiful and the atmosphere was great, but the offers promoted on their website were not honored.
