2/10 Poor

Best avoided
We previously stayed in a Preferred Suite in February. I'm not sure if there has been a change in general management or catering management, but the two visits provided totally different experiences. The room is advertised as having a "Kitchenette". It doesn't. It has a Nespresso coffee machine. The room is also advertised as having an "upgraded minibar". On speaking with staff here, the upgrade is a packet of M and M's, a half bottle of cheap rum and some Pringles. Except the Pringles are apparently rationed and they have run out of their allocation today, so there are none! We did get them on the first day, so that was good! The biggest, but by far not the only concern, is the quality of the food, which we would describe as awful. This ranges from room service, pool service, the buffet and at Portofino. The poolside food was particularly bad, chicken that had clearly seen the frier several times and a veggie burger that bore no resemblance to any veggie burger, ever! Housekeeping is hit and miss, not always provided unless a call to reception is made which is usually followed by a two hour wait. The last time we were here, Portofino was our go to restaurant, this time the food is average at best and inedible at worst. The Preferred Lounge is worth highlighting as being something it's not! Previously, there was a decent selection of finger food and snacks, enough to make it worth the trip. This time, there was a plate or two of nts and some pastries.

6/10 Good

The property is okay. It is a bit of a drive from the airport and there is no available transportation. I was able to get a van for my large party. There was also an issue where I was quoted a particular price to pay at property through expedia but they charged me twice as much on the property with no accommodation despite evidence via chat. The food lacked A LOT. Either things were plain, salads were warm, or it was simply not good. There lacked a variety of options for food as well, which was unfortunate. The pool area servers and service was what we enjoyed the most. The servers were friendly and attentive, and the fast food at the pool was probably the best option. Several of my party members ended up with diarrhea from the food here. The only other thing I enjoyed was the room service. It was speedy, edible, and comes with the stay. The entertainment is practically non-existent during the day. The dance show is okay, the silent party at night was for sure cool. The biggest no no for me during this trip was the lack of AC in the resort. It is simply too hot during this time of the year and there are not enough fans and no AC in the elevators. The rooms are lukewarm on a good day, and the space really could use additional fans in strategic areas because relying on the breeze to cool patrons is not sufficient. All in all, if the food were better and we weren't sweating, it would have been much more enjoyable.

This property would’ve been 10/10 if the restaurants on the resort were good. The only good spot that had food was the buffet and they weren’t even open every night. The breakfast wasn’t all that up to par. But the entertainment??? THERE WAS NONE this resort is so beautiful and they had no entertainment by the pool, no energy at all and the dj played the same songs. I really wish the food and entertainment was better. If you want great entertainment please go off the resort ! My stay was an overall 7.5/10 because of the lack of entertainment and lack of food choices.

This was a nice resort. Clean properly with pleasant staff. The dining options and menus were limited base on my expectations, additionally the beach was some distance away although transportation is provided to and from throughout the day. I did not like the amenities at the beach as they were mostly fo members who own properties in the area so i did not feel like a preferred guest.

This property should’ve included golfing in your stay. It also had power outages a few times during the day on several days. They can have more activities on property and even a tour guide for the area on property. Pool on beach was amazing pool on property needs to be cleaned daily. The halls smelled of mildew. 3/10 on all inclusive properties I’ve been to. Can’t go on private beach at night. The only thing i love was the Cartagena breakfast and off the resort very fun
