Worst staff in 20+ years of going to all-inclusive resorts. Not sure if it’s a training issue, or if the staff simply don’t care. Never refilling beverages, or even saying “hello”. Same related to servicing the rooms. Some days there was no service, some days just switch towels/tp, but floors were not cleaned. In general, service was inconsistent and incomplete everywhere around the resort (rooms, restaurants, gym, pool). Food was very average. If you want to eat at the steak house, you need to wait in line since 5pm, for a 6pm opening. A little ridiculous… why not reserve ahead of time? And again, food is average, and service very poor. One good thing is that the staff enforced smoking rules, and didn’t allow kids in the pool bar (inside the pool). This allowed for a more pleasing experience around the pool bar. Not overcrowded! It’s a public beach, and the vendors were “right there” at the entrance. Lots of them. They were not pushy, but they for sure obstructed the nice view and definitely affected the vibe. Unfortunately I would not go back there and wouldn’t recommend it. There are way better places at better prices elsewhere.

Majority of the staff were super helpful and friendly. We were not able to access any tv channels or streaming in our room. The food was mediocre. We were told there was one restaurant open 24 hours but when we tried to get brunch at 11am, they only served alcohol and coffee. There are no food options available between 10:30 am and 12 pm. The Wi-Fi worked intermittently. The pools were nice and our room was clean.

The room was not great even though it was renovated. It had a very bad sewage smell it was a little unbearable at first, but we got used to it unfortunately. I told the front desk and they did nothing i was a little upset that they didn’t do anything. I had to go back a second time to let them know and they wanted to move me to another room this was on the four day, which was very inconvenient because everything else at the resort was fantastic other than the long lines for the restaurants we tried some of the restaurants, but to be honest with you the main buffet was better. They had more selection and the same stuff you’d get in the restaurant so nothing special there. The beach is absolutely fabulous. The entertainment was very good. The staff was wonderful. The pools were amazing. The resort itself is one of the best even though there was a few hiccups you can’t have perfect.

The resort was clean. I really enjoyed the Friday night neon party. Beach access, however the beach chairs were dirty. Several restaurants onsite. However, you need to go early for dinner to several restaurants to obtain seating. Staff were professional and friendly. Several pools and water park access are great options for family. Very close to Diamente Ecopark.

Overall, we had a good experience, but the check‑in process was rough. They had someone working their first day, and nothing about the hotel was explained. We ended up having to go back to the front desk multiple times for basic things like Wi‑Fi information and directions. The room had a slight smell, and the toilet was a bit unusual, but the convenience of being so close to the beautiful beach made up for a lot. The night entertainment was enjoyable, and we really liked the show. My biggest issue was the food situation and the long, inefficient wait times. It felt like we wasted valuable vacation time just trying to get on a list for reservations hours later. I’ve never experienced anything like that, and there really should be a better system. Honestly, the best meal I had was the grilled chicken at Pepe’s. Also, it was surprising that name‑brand liquor was only available at one bar. For the money spent I guess it was what you pay for.

The resort is nice. However, it's important to note that this is a party hotel, which I didn’t realize before booking. With party hotels, you get all the party people and the problems that come with it. We were woken up in the middle of the night twice by some drunk idiots pulling the fire alarm and screaming in the hallways. The staff is not well-trained; you will get different responses to your questions depending on who you ask. The staff is also not your typical cheerful staff—most of the time, they don’t seem happy to help. Don't waste your money on the spa on-site—it was awful. The facility is old, and the "jacuzzi" doesn’t have functioning jets! The massage was $115 USD per person for 50 minutes. When I asked the therapist to focus on my lower back, she said, "I cannot focus on any area. The massage is completed in a very specific sequence with no modifications," which was awful. The massage itself was just a smooth rub, like someone was rubbing lotion on your body and that’s it. Not worth it—don’t do it!! If you want a good massage, walk past the Riu Palace on the beach and look for the gals by the monkeys. They have a nice little outdoor beach setup for $40 an hour, and they actually know how to give a massage.All the food is mediocre. The line to eat at the steakhouse started forming about 1–1.5 hours ahead of time, and the food was a 5/10. Not worth the wait. They gave us mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, and they tasted like cardboard and were cold.
