Since the cost of this hotel cost pennies compared to other places, I can't complain too much. However, next time I prefer to pay the extra cash and stay at a nicer resort.

Hotel: This is my 2nd time coming here, the 1st was in 2006. Well it looks like they havent updated one thing since. In fact, its much more rundown than I remember. Pro: The room is spacious, the shower has hot water and good pressure, air conditioning worked and theres a mini bar with soda and beer. Con: The toilet was constantly running. We had to leave the lid off and stick our hands in the top to fix the issue after every flush. The shower flooded into the bathroom everytime. The counter tops to the sink was old painted wood. Every dresser was broken. There was no ironing board. And a lock for the safe cost $25.

Pool: There were 4 pools, all very nice, however, there was never enough seats for people. Plenty of huts but not enough seats. We woke up at 7am everyday to lay towels at pool chairs just so we can get chairs- You HAD to do this, otherwise, you were putting your towel on the grass. This was very FRUSTRATING because it is an easy fix.

Food: The breakfast and dinner buffets were under average. I thought the lunch buffet was aweful at both places. The best restaurant was the mexican, it had a great appetizer bar and dinner entrees. The oriental and steakhouse were average. The italian restaurant was aweful, it was the same food they had at the lunch buffet that day. I recommend the seafood dinner. THEY DONT TELL YOU ABOUT THE SEAFOOD DINNER WHEN YOU ARRIVE. They had a promotion- if you stay over 5 nights, you get it for free. So I seeked it out and was able to make a reservation for it.

Service: Not many servers understood english. When I traveled in 2006, I felt like all the servers knew english. 75% of the servers were rude, and took their time getting your drink. When we checked in the room we noticed the minifridge wasnt stocked on beer. I asked the service maid for a few, she told me I could only have 1. That was strange to me. The front desk is friendly and helpful. I do have to say that the maintenance guys kept the grounds clean.

In my opinion, spend the extra money and go somewhere else. So many things were not pleasant that it isn't worth the aggrivation. It seems like they care about quantity over quality...

Air Transat Jan. 3 - 10. We enjoyed our week here. The beach is beautiful and the waves are fun to play in. The rooms are a little tired but very clean, spacious and the beds are very comfortable. We had plenty of hot water. The staff was very friendly. The maids were friendly and helpful. I asked if I could have diet Pepsi, as well as, regular Pepsi in the mini bar and was promptly brought 4 bottles. She returned a couple days later with 6 bottles as she was having days off and was afraid her replacement might not get me any diet pop. Alexander at the Beach Bar Buffet and the steak house was an excellent waiter. Franklin at the Air Transat beach bar was the best bartender and used bottled pop in the drinks which made a huge difference. He would look up recipes when he hadn't heard of a drink before and made me very good paralyzers. He also walked around the beach when he wasn't busy passing out bottles of water and sweeping sand off the empty lounges. I noticed that the lobby bartenders would also use bottled Pepsi when asked specifically. We tried all the a la cartes and the food was very good, although the beef was tough one night. We had no trouble making reservations as some people indicated. You just need to ask the concierge to book for you. If they try to talk to you about a time-share you just have to say you are not interested. We were only asked once. The disco was being renovated when we were there and so it wasn't open. We found the food at the buffets fine and really enjoyed the omelets, crepes, and pasta bar. Your vacation is what you make it. Relax and enjoy it!

As always, there are differences in expectations amongst travellers. Our stay was quite comfortable,w ith only one toilet backup, blamed on son. Food was bland but plentiful. The access to the private beach section was great as we always managed to get a lounger. the liquor used for majority of drinks is cheaper, read 37.5 %, but First Club drinks were high quality. Would probably not go back as there are other resorts to explore. The letting of vendors on the property was a pain in the butt, but did buy stuff after talking down prices to less than half.
