The excursions with the animals on the property need to be in better condition ESPECIALLY THE HORSES. Any time we asked a question to the staff they seemed to be confused or just being indifferent about situations. The beach needs to be a little more cleaned up. There is a lot of rocks and branches. While the food was very flavorful the presentation was not great a lot of flies/bees in the food. The rooms need to be taken care of a bit more some had the light or the tv not working at all and the bathroom were also dirty.

The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing, along the Tambor bay. However, the rooms were very old and the buffet quality average.

While this property has a very nice pool and beach, the service was very minimal, facilities were outdated and our room was not in good condition. Check in took a long time because the desk was under staffed. We were provided minimal information about the property. We had 2 towels for 3 people, the phone did not work, and there was mold in the bathroom and shower. The sink was not draining, and we found a dead bug on the floor when we arrived. Sheets were stained. Food wasn’t great and the only reason I am not rating it one star is because of the outdoors.

Our massage at the spa was cancelled twice without notice. Staff is kind, but expect to get your own drinks when at the buffet since waiter service is limited at the eating locations, which is different than our other experiences.
