For an upscale hotel it should be maintained better. The buffet was not consistently good quality food. The pools need to be cleaned better. The staff were friendly.

Excellent stay. Staff, rooms, and food were excellent. We didn't fo the all inclusive option but every restaurant we tried was delicious. My 2 favorites were asiana and star fish🤔 i believe was the name of the latter; they were frying whole red snapper that was fabulous. Spa was nice also. The spa offerings have different prices for pressure so that was telling. They squeezed us in for a couples massage that was really a rub down with oil. I wasn't surprised by that given the menu. They were still a great staff and experience.

We had an amazing family vacation. Especial mention for very exceptional people such as Franklin who is the best taxi driver and tour guy that you can get and Maria, who provides a personalized customer service in the buffet. They made our vacation unforgettable. They definitely upgrade any experience.
