we just visited from Canada and found it hard to find information in advance so this is going to be a long post.
Stayed for 1 week and really enjoyed out time, not very busy which meant it was easy to make dinner reservations and get good chairs every day.
There are some standout individuals on the staff who made our time feel extra special including Alfredo and Michael from the animation team (+ the ladies who less often had namtags but brought a lot of energy and excitement to the activities) + Elvin as our server.
The Thursday > Saturday entertainment is extra special with delicious theme meals, musical and dance performances in the evenings.
During the day the vibe is pretty relaxed but the animation/entertainment team has activities here and there to spice things up by the pool.
Food was okay. We really enjoyed the italian restaurant and the theme evenings at the buffet. The roast pork at dominican night was amazing.
The resort did get much busier on the weekend, our understanding is the day passes are a better price for locals than surrounding resorts. It wasnt too busy though , just a big contrast to slow weekdays. Most music and announcements are more catered to spanish speaking guests.
Main negative was the smoking. It seems people are able to smoke anywhere, and we felt we were often downwind of smoke while trying to relax by the pool. Havent been to many resorts but would look for more smoke free, or smoking zone, policies next time.
