Get rid of chair claiming and improve food
This place could be great but the vibes are weird. Firstly, I think it’s a horrible experience that people claim the beach chairs for the whole day by placing the towel on them. We had no chair and were at the beach and pool for hours and saw chairs sit empty the whole time. There should be a policy that if the chair is left unattended for more than 30 minutes with no physical belongings than the towel would be removed. Secondly, food is awful. Seriously horrible. Disgusting. We paid $550/night for 2 people. I know that’s not the high end, but c’Mon, do better. I will not return and realizing how it’s so not worth staying at an all inclusive when we could find a regular hotel for half the price and spend our money at the great local restaurants.

Great family friendly resort! The small resort is perfect for small kids as rooms are close to pool and ocean for easy access. Food at restaurants and snack shack was amazing! Buffet could use more options as it was very limited and always the same. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Will definitely return!
