Great location & service, food was better than expected. Hotel pools and beach area were in great shape, however the hotel itself could use some updating and/or maintenance. Excellent value, worth another visit.

I enjoyed staying here so much last year for my first trip ever! I am going back again this year! Last year my boyfriend proposed to me! It was so beautiful!!! The food was great, our rooms were awesome, the staff was amazing and very friendly, it was very hard to leave! Can't wait to go back! Thank you friendly for everything!

Well we chose this resort and had a great time. As a lot of people have stated it does earn its name of friendly. We have stayed in other resorts but this is the first one that the workers go so far out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay.
If I had any complaint at all it would be the fact that no two bartenders could make the same drink the same way lol however this just gives you an excuse to try different drinks and have had this same problem at every resort I have ever stayed at.
The resort is in a great location being central to everything and if you go I would highly recommend Nolit Tours as the two reps they had in the lobby made this experience so much better with a few free tours offered as well. Thank you Angelica and Phillip!
The reviews on here explain this place to a T so go and enjoy.

This was our first all inclusive vacation and after two weeks at the Friendly, we are looking forward to the next one! The location is convenient with frequent and cheap bus service at the front gate. The hotel is starting to show it's age but is kept absolutely spotless by the Friendly staff. This resort is not afraid to hire a lot of great staffers to look after their guests in the restaurants, on the beach and in the hotel proper.This was a great value vacation. On the negative side, the music in the lobby bar is too loud and goes on too late, make sure your room in the tower is high enough and well away from the late night action in the lobby.
