terrible gym extra cost
the staff seemed helpful enough.
The gym was terrible for a so-called 4-star hotel. I think they forgot to buy any equipment. the spa cost extra, and the price was a total rip-off.

wonderful experience

varied options helpful team onsite store
I found the breakfast selection very good and plentiful. the hotel store sold essential items, a great convenience. i appreciated the daily turndown service. there were multiple restaurants onsite. I had varied options. the onsite team was very helpful, contributing to a great stay.
the lack of clear signage made navigating the large complex challenging. this meant i spent unnecessary time trying to find amenities. this issue could be easily addressed with better directions.

mixed feelings about my stay

engaging activity great staff additional costs resort costs
the activity staff were great and they were very engaging.
I was disappointed with the additional costs. I had to pay for kids slushies, coffee slushies and kids entertainment. an all inclusive resort should include these extras. it felt nickel-and-dimed.
