Let me start with the pros, first off the staff was great and the property itself was really nice, rooms were awesome, pools and outdoor seating areas were top notch, the beach was one of the nicer ones we’ve ever been to and check in and check out process was really easy.
Now I’ll list some of the cons and the biggest problem we encountered on this trip. I definitely agree with having a dress code but I feel it was a bit strict and excessive compared to other nice all inclusive resorts we’ve visited. Another problem was the difficulty of getting into restaurants for dinner. In our situation we had a group of 10 so I understand there may be a wait to be able to set together but even when we were willing to split up dining was difficult. The first come first serve policy, with exception of Japanese which took reservations, created a mad rush at all the restaurants with no buffet style alternatives to alleviate the overflow.
The biggest issue we had that prevented us from enjoying our stay, made traveling home difficult and caused lost wages was illness from the food or beverages. We did not leave the resort. Like I said we had ten people in our group, eventually seven out of the ten got violently SICK 2-3 days into our trip, five still have diarrhea even 2 days after returning home. Two have been to the doctor and been diagnosed with travelers diarrhea, something that is caused by unsafe food or water that involve parasites from FECES! Worst vacation we’ve ever experienced
