Tropical Paradise
The property was beautifully landscaped, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There were cats and dogs (birds,iguanas, crabs and a snake!) on property but they seemed healthy and well cared for. The food and drinks were good and a lot of variety.

Staff are very friendly, great service, great food. Very beautiful property but needs a lot of maintenance, many areas are showing lack of maintenance and it’s sad be aside for what I heard the property is not old.

The property is just another resort. Nothing really stands out. I didn’t like the fact that the beach is dirty and the smell around the common areas was terrible.

Rooms are outdated and not well decorated. Restaurant had very limited selections and they weren’t great. Only one bar. Room key stopped working four times and had to be reset. Dogs everywhere, including buffet. Dog poop on beach. Entertainment was sporadic. No beach activities. Pool tiles missing. Staff was exemplary.

The property had many cats and dogs in all areas specifically eating areas. So if you are allergic or don’t like to eat with cats and dogs, not a good place to stay. The property is also a distance from the town so it is isolated if you want some peace and calm.

Noisy and out-dated. Food was average (except the italian restaurant). The guys at the bar on Tower 1 next to the swimming pool where amazing and super friendly and helpful.
