Second time in the resort, nice food is offered, good variety. Room is spacious and two swimming pools, being one with warm water.
Definitely i will return again
Likes: Lots of space to stretch out. Great value for the money spent. Dislikes: No dehumidifier in room, it stays wet inside. Allowing adults to carry drinks and food into pools. (The pool bar is fine, but when I see a plate of food on the outside of the pool edge and a pina coloda spill into the water by a drunk woman, it made us leave the pool that day.) Please enforce no food and drinks in the pool.
Atendimento dos funcionários foi muito ruim,sem vontade nenhuma de atender e resolver problemas. Na parte alimentação, faltando sempre itens comuns e (tomate, mel e um dia sem tomate para fazer omelete)muita lenta as reposições.
O hotel é muito bom. Excelentes instalações, excelente variedade e qualidade das comidas, bebidas e drinks. O suporte de praia também é muito bom. A praia nao é bia pra banho, mar muito forte. Ponto negativo para o check in com poucos funcionários e quase 1 hora de fila
Pior resort que ja me hospedei. Ja começou com demora de mais de 2 horas no check in (prioridade). Tudo confuso e desorganizado. Comida ruim e sem sabor (e muito repetitiva). Nenhuma amenidade ou atendimento fora dos restaurantes. Atrações fracas. Estrutura mal pensada e precária como, por exemplo, Copa Baby. Resort é gigantesco e, mesmo recebendo muitas famílias como bebês, apenas 1 Copa e extremamente mal equipada e desconfortável (ar condicionado ligado a 16C de forma permanente)
Praia péssima para banho (mar aberto) e sem nenhum atendimento no local (so cadeiras). O Resort é gigantesco e está bem cuidado no geral (quanto a limpeza e quartos confortaveis). Achei Funcionários esforçados e receptivos mas, definitivamente nao dao conta de atender toda a estrutura. Em suma: ha alguns pontos positivos mas, no geral, péssima experiência. Nao recomendo
É um all inclusive melhor do que os demais da região. A qualidade da comida, inclusive, é melhor. Acho um bom lugar para agregar vários familiares/amigos no mesmo ambiente.
Alguns restaurantes deixaram a desejar, principalmente os próximos das piscinas
Experiência inesquecível! Do café ao jantar, tudo incrível.
Atendimento maravilhoso, limpeza impecável e conforto além do esperado. Voltaremos em breve.
O quarto é muito espaçoso, limpo e silencioso. Tive dificuldade para regular o ar condicionado, mais gelado do que gostaria. Os funcionários são muito solícitos e educados, porém, tive alguns problemas com falta de informação na recepção e não abastecimento dos itens no frigobar. No meu andar, próximo ao meu quarto, estava sem água potável para encher as garrafas por mais de 1 dia. Não tinham cadeiras/guarda-sóis suficientes para todos os hóspedes.
Fizemos o upgrade para o quarto vista mar e acesso ao beach club exclusivo que foi um diferencial para a estadia. Maior conforto, mais opções de catering e uma piscina exclusiva, além do acesso às áreas úmidas do spa. No geral a equipe foi muito solícita, com algumas exceções de falta de tato ou um treinamento melhor de atendimento ao cliente.
