The food all around was marginal. Not a great spot for the beach. Not much flexibility for dining schedules. Great rooms. Service was good . Did not like having to book through a third party - ran into issues with that.

Hotel's Favorite
We arrived in June for our Honeymoon and I miss it already! I would like to provide an honest review of our stay and our experiences. When we first arrived, we were not happy campers. We had a terrible experience at the airport (the luggage guy stopped doing his job and we were left waiting over an hour for our luggage). Then it took over 2 hours to get to the resort. I would recommend a private transfer instead of the provided airline transfer. So when we arrived we were tired, hot and starving. Check in was easy, it wasnt busy so it was pretty fast. The Reception area is gorgeous and so clean. The staff was amazing in bringing us and our luggage to our bungalow on the lake. We did have one issue as our keys didnt work. The staff member who came with us told us to call the front desk but they told us we had to go back to the lobby. There was no information in the room which was a little frustrating but i will get back to that later. The main issue is that this hotel is too big and the map they provide as well as the app is useless when trying to find your way around. As mentioned above, we were starving and were trying to find a place to eat. There were a few ala cartes that we were easily able to find but we wanted to go to the buffet. Again, we were starving and didnt want to wait for someone to take our order and make the food. We couldnt find the buffet so had to settle for the Ribs and More a la cart. We discovered that this was a great choice as the food was excellent and the service was great! There were definitely pros and cons to our stay: Grounds: -As mentioned, this is a huge resort. There is a lot of walking to be done. There were a lot of things not opened on the White Sands side, so we had to go to Colonial often. The walking wasnt that bad though because we saw all kinds of cute critters a long the way! There were a ton of iguanas, different birds, capybaras, flamingos and Coatis. The coatis were my favorite! I feel like it took us a few days to become comfortable with all the walking paths and we were able to get to where we needed to go. It was nice to be able to go between the different hotels and be able to experience things from the other hotels. The grounds were also very clean the whole time we were there. Room: -We booked the Romance Bungalow on the Lake. It was an amazing room. I really liked the shower outside. it was nice to shower under the stars. The room was also very clean and well stocked. It wasnt too far from the pool or the lake. It was a bit of a walk to Colonial though. One issue we had with our room was the lake and the balcony. The lake was drained the second or third day we were there until the end of our visit which was really disappointing. We booked the room for the lake and the opportunity to use the canoes, which we were not able to do. The worst was the smell, it smelled all over the hotel and there was no compensation or not even any warning that this would be happening. We were not happy about this but the room did make up for it. Next, the balcony. I totally understand that we are in the jungle and things happen. However, they need to invest in plastic chairs/furniture. All of our furniture was covered in lizard or bird poo and was never cleaned. We didnt really get to enjoy the balcony. Pool: -We spend most of our days at the White Sand Pool and La Isla. We like la Isla better because it was more quiet. Both pools were great though! They were clean and refreshing. There were always plenty of places to sit in and out of the water. They always had activities to do as well. The one annoying thing was that they always had people coming to upsell the spa or their photographs. We said no everyday but they kept coming. They didnt really come as much at La Isla so we stayed there more often. I know thats their job but its frustrating when youre trying to relax and they keep trying to say their spiel even when you say no. Beach: -We knew prior to coming that the beach wouldnt be great so we expected it. The beach was really rocky in the White Sands area, and, to be honest, it wasnt much better further down. There were some clear spots but you had to wade through the sea weed or over the rocks. However, we always enjoyed an evening walk along the beach and i even managed to find some nice seashells! Thankfully the pools made up for the beach! Food: -The food was always great no matter where we went. The buffets were typically the same foods every day with small changes. There was always something for everyone and many choices to choose from. We went to both La Hacienda and La Dalia but we preferred La Hacienda. The a la carts we visted were really good. We visited: ribs and more, Portafino, El Rancho. We really enjoyed Portafino but the portion sizes were tiny! One of the issues with the food was there there were not many places open at White Sands so we had to go to Colonial a lot of the time for food. For example, the buffet doesnt open for lunch until 1 pm. we would get up at 6ish and would be having breakfast at about 7am. By 11 or noon we would be hungry again and there were no options at white sands. Thankfully we found the Sports Bar for lunch! We loved the Sports Bar! It was usually busy but we never had to wait a long time for food. It was also nice to get out of the heat for a little bit! Service: -The service here wasnt the best nor was it the worst. Cleaning service: -Whenever the room was cleaned, they always did a good job and amenities were always restocked. We had an issue a couple days, however, with the towels. One day they took all of the towels and left us with one used and one clean. I personally, as a woman, use two towels. One for myself and one for my hair. We had to call to ask for more towels . There was no directory near the phones so we didnt really know who to call. We tried calling the operator and they said someone would come. We waited over an hour. The maids also didnt speak english so it was hard to ask them for anything. We also had to ask for extra toilet paper a couple of times. The rest of our trip, the room was sufficiently stocked. Restaurant service: -The service in all of the a la carts was really good. They were all super friendly and we enjoyed our encounters with them. The service in the buffets wasnt always the greatest, The hostess's were always so nice and friendly. Sometimes the workers werent always friendly or werent always there. I know they are overworked and understaffed so i feel bad for complaining. One day, we spent the whole breakfast waiting for our cappuccinos at La Dalia, They ended up bringing mine but not my husbands, The guy said he would be back but he never came back and we ended up finishing our breakfast. Another time we had to get our own coffee from the machines at La Hacienda. Little things like this are really nothing but also change the experience from a 5* to a 4*. The bar staff were great as were the entertainment staff. Even though there were some issues with our stay, we had a lovely time and we really enjoyed our stay. It was amazing being in the middle of the jungle. I wouldnt say we would rush to come back but we wouldnt be against it given the chance. I think i would recommend staying in the Colonia side as it is closer to everything and there is a lot more to do. We didnt really spend a lot of time at Kantaneh except for the lobby area. The lobby was beautiful as well and was also close to most things. This resort has something for everyone and is absolutely beautiful and clean. I wouldnt let the bad reviews keep you from coming here. There were some issues but there are issues everywhere. its really what you make of it. I would recommend this resort!…

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the attention given by Miguel and Natalio at Bahia Braza! They insured we were well taken care of and refilled our drinks prior to going empty! Very friendly and hospitable. Will for sure be returning. The food was also very good.

Kevin C wrote a review Dec 5
My husband and I would like to thank HECTOR from Room Service for helping us place our order for room service dinner. We were having difficulty with the online Room Service menu (as we always do trying to navigate the apps at these all-inclusive resorts) ( just put a laminated menu in the room already, but that would make it too convenient for the guest to order...) Anyway, HECTOR went above and beyond going over the entire menu with me while I jotted down the missing items. He had excellent communication skills, and explained how accommodating they could be with adjustments. He was overly patient with me and my repetitive phone calls and treated me to a regional specialty, the famous Cochinita Pabil, as a courtesy for the difficulty. He was sooo kind and I just want to make sure he doesn't go unrewarded for his exemplary service. We are eagerly awaiting our dinner, as a quick siesta turned into a much needed hardcore sleep, and we missed our dinner reservation entirely... Our dinner just arrived, and ANGEL was great going over all the items and condiments with Kevin. Angel was appreciative, very nice looking and well groomed. He seemed very down-to-earth too, which sometimes can be a little intimidating and uncomfortable having a stranger coming into your room, but he served in a dignified manner while still being very friendly. Everything looks awesome and smells great! AND boy oh boy the Conchita Pabil is really good, but HOLY COW the SAUCE IS HOT!! BUT GOOD! Feliz Navidad! Thanks again especially to Hector for making it all possible and a pleasant experience! Renata and Kevin …

My wife and I stayed at white sands as travel members for almost the whole month of October, I will try and review all areas. Travel club check in and help through out our stay, Lisandra was amazing! She always went out of her way to ask us if everybting was ok and to arrange anything we needed. Paul our concierge was also very helpful and always stopped whatever her was doing if he seen us in lobby and came out and asked us if we needed anything or if we were happy. Members beach club, Ernesto, Adela, victor are always amazing and first to greet you with a smile and truly do everything they can to make you comfortable and not want for anything! Benjamin, Manuel, Juan were amazing bartenders and all went out of their way to get us anything we requested as well as the girls at the pool, sorry I can’t remember their names but they were always on top of things. This was our third stay for the year and the longest and it never gets old. The food was amazing we were never hungry and had absolutely no complaints. We believe that the whats app has some attention lacking and found it easier to just go to lobby and ask for anything we wanted. The cart guys were always stopping to ask if we needed a ride and were always busy, you never had to wait long at all for a ride. We went to a lot of the shows at first and they are amazing, you can really tell how hard they work at providing top notch entertainment. The spa services were stellar as always. We have already booked for April and will be returning with our 6 yr old granddaughter who had accompanied us last April and cannot wait to go again. The staff at the moon bar every night were incredible! Sarah always asked how our day was and had some new cocktail for people to try! I’m sorry if I missed names the staff is truly outstanding and do whatever they can to make your stay incredible.…

If you've never been, this should be on your list of considerations, but it just wasn't the same visit as we took as a family back in 2011. My parents come here regularly, but this was their first visit back since covid and even they said it wasn't quite the same. Staff, food, accommodations, etc were top notch, but a bunch of little irritants added up to an overall feel of "it was missing something". Private shuttle from the airport and back could have been handled much better.
