“What stands out is the dedication to families, reflected in the kids' club and playground, alongside the appealing water park; evening entertainment and the tropical garden offer diverse experiences. However, some find the service inconsistent, especially concerning tipping expectations, which can overshadow the otherwise positive aspects. The pristine beach and modern rooms are definite high points.”

ocean view room upgrade decorated table krystal restaurant birthday wishes surprise cake missing car seats inadequate compensation expensive transfer

Marimar Luna welcomed me warmly. I got a lovely room upgrade to an Ocean View. The view of the ocean i had was gorgeous!!! The Krystal restaurant decorated our table beautifully. I was surprised by the cake and birthday wishes for my mum.

I did not find car seats for my children. I had to spend $250 on a one-way transfer from a taxi company. The manager offered grandkids some bags. The compensation was not adequate for the inconvenience.
