Top praise

Beautiful and well-maintained grounds with lush tropical landscaping.
Excellent variety of pools, including kids' pools, adult-only pools, and swim-up bars.
Good food variety, especially in specialty restaurants, and generally good quality.

Common complaints

Beach can be rocky, eroded, and have significant seaweed (sargassum).
Resort is very large, requiring a lot of walking, and signage can be poor.
Food quality can be inconsistent, with some disappointment in buffets and long lines for specialty restaurants.

Heads up

Reports of coati entering rooms via balconies and being aggressive with food.
Past reports of food poisoning from the buffet (though recent reviews are more positive on food quality).
Significant sargassum seaweed can severely impact beach usability during peak season.

Beach & Pool

Beach access - shared

Seaweed risk: moderate

Sargassum season generally runs from May to October, with the worst months being July and August. However, it can start as early as March/April and last until November. Resorts do their best to clean the beaches, but large quantities can make swimming challenging. 2026 is predicted to potentially be a bad year for sargassum.

Gorgeous stretch of white-sand beach with palm trees and calm water. Some reviews mention it can be rocky or have seaweed, especially at the entrance to the sea.
