We travelled as a group of 22, The pool water was cold and so were the showers. All 22 people in our group were very sick vomiting and the runs. Alcohol is not the reason as some of us do not drink. The zip lining trip was to be a half hour bus ride, but ended up being three and... More

Stayed Jan 30-Feb 6/12. Service was excellent. Always a friendly face cleaning and/or serving. Exceptional food for a buffet. Many choices and well cooked. A-la-carte was not all it is cut out to be. It is very elegant and the food is well presented if you are looking for a 'served' meal although the salad and desert bar was buffet.... More

Nobody I know got sick. Our safe wasn't working but they fixed it ASAP and Air Canada Vacations people get the safe for... More

The villas, rooms, beach where very nice but the service and food weren't the greatest. Btw the water was very very murky. Management was also horrible if something goes wrong you are on your own. More

We stayed here with a group of friends. Was concerned because of some of the reviews. Was very pleasantly surprised.Very nice resort with good food and really nice people. The ground and pool are very nice and the drinks are easy to come by . The beach is in a beautiful cove, so the water is calm. Only downside is... More

We had stayed at this resort from Jan 21-28, 2012. After reading so many negative comments, I contacted my travel agent to change resorts, but was unable to as it was to close to departure. But glad we didn't as we all had a great time. We were a party of 8. Check in was very smooth and friendly. Yes... More

We stayed from Jan 13 to the 20th. Because of some of the reviews I read, I didn't know what to expect ( like rats, no water, power outages, food poisoning etc etc). Never saw any rodents, always had water, never got sick from the food. Power did flicker at night, but remember you are in a third world country,... More
