    Another great stay

    This my #1 all inclusive resort. Staff is wonderful and the grounds gorgeous. Always very helpful with a smile. Food outstanding. The night shows are very loud is my only complaint. Could tone it down a bit.

    Solo trip - great drinks, parties, food and views

    Let’s start with the views. They are spectacular. Service was the best I have experienced at an all inclusive. Food was great. I did not bother with the speciality restaurants, the buffet had lots of variety, and the service was great. The parties if that is your thing were epic in my mind. Coffee shop was awesome for espressos, ice coffee’s and views.
