It was very spacious, but the adult only was much smaller and not nearly as nice as the family resort next door. Also the food at the buffet was not good and the toilet in the pour room was a joke

It is a great place to rest. The adults only really matter. The staff is super friendly and nice. We had problems with our room and they help us to solve it. The food is not super exceptional, but is good enough to eat well. We had a very bad experience at the fish restaurant, very poor service and attention, the food was good. In the oven, everything is a really nice place to be, not super top, but really good facilities, many options and activities and fantastic staff.

Likes: Amenities

The property was very nice, the rooms were old and the bathrooms were very tight. The food was good, the staff was not as friendly as I expected. Buffets we often get taken out and dirty as the week went on, especially at the palace and the sports bar. Steak house restaurant was good along with French restaurants but MUST bring pants for men to enter. We did not know. The seafood restaurant was terrible and a waste of time. But overall the food was good.

All in all a really good time! Food options are everywhere. Something for everyone! We enjoyed the Caribe buffet every day on the adult side. The casino was small but fun. Had many activity options. The beach was fantastic and cleaned every morning. Pool fills up fast so I'm glad I'm a beach girl. Shade on the beach is only from the palm trees, so you just move your chairs to be in the sun to your liking. I would definitely return!
