Do not go there!!! Do not ruin your Vacation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/9/08
I have vacationed before in all inclusive resorts in Hawai, Jamaica, Cancun and Cabo. They were all great or okay with some minor dislikes. But I never thought that an All-inclusive resort can be this bad and backwards.
First, they advertise themselves as an Adult Oriented/Clothing optional resort. So they give you the impression of a "wild part by the pool" resort. In fact they do have games and activities to promote "wild by-the-pool partying. Just so you know, I went there with my fiance 27 and I am 35. So we did not go there just for the Partying. In any case, they try to do activities by the pool, but how do they expect to achieve that on fake alcohol and lausy drinks!! Yes, they serve the cheapest and fakest off brand alcohol by the pool and all of thier bars. All the drinks are served in cheap simple plastic cups. Plus they are very stingy on the alcohol. If you ask them do put double and triple shots in your drinks, then you will get a buzz but later will suffer from headaches caused by cheap alcohol. Also there is no drinks in coconut or pineapple shells so you feel like you are in a cancun resort.
Also the food system there is horrible. They have an 18 hours snack bar (it closes after midnight till morning) So make sure you eat outside after clubbing or you go to bed hungry. There is also a decent second full buffet restaurant for breakfast and lunch. But the food is nothing to rave about. But they have 2 restaurants that supposedly serve great food and you have to wake up in the morning (10am) of the same day to make a reservation. But that means staying in a long line for 1 hour everyday to eat some decent food. Another backward thing is that to go to the main buffet, you have to have a shirt on. So from the pool you have to go back to your room and wear something and then come back to the buffet. But here is the catch. The AC in the buffet either doesn't work or they try to save money. So you are forced to eat your food with your shirt on in a poorly air conditioned buffet.
Also they have beach and pool activities daily, but when the activities desk closes, you must stop playing too!!! They literally take the vollyball away from you and lock it up!!!
And another thing for any of the single men booking for this resort. We learned this because one night coming back from a club we noticed a guy arguing with the front desk. It turns out that if you go out and meet a girl and you try to bring her into your room, the resort charges you $90!!!
These were just some of the issues with this resort. I will never go there or recomend anyone going there. This resort needs lots of improvements. I do not know how they ever got 4+ stars!!!
