“Good for Families. Not more than 3-4 days stay.”
+It was ok+ in General. The food was good. Waterpark for kids excellent. A highlight of the stay.
−The hotel didn't alert us that the new kids area was too far from the beach. having a map of the hotel to know what room to book would have been great. The beach service not so good. And with tons of locals trying to sell you different things was a big downside. A bit crowded in the pools area.

+I liked the variety of food available. The rooms were clean and a good size. Close access to the private beach was also nice with access to sun loungers.
−The pool was a little dirty and dead bugs liked to collect in certain places. The walls are thin and you can hear the echoes of conversation or children screaming at night.

“great place for families”
+The grounds & the facility look great. No bathrooms in the restaurants made it hard with small kids needing to use the bathroom at dinner or breakfast.
−No restroom in restaurants. Also I booked our family of 6 but we were not side by side which was not a good set up for us.

“Carefree peaceful at times and a good distraction from reality.”
+Food was decent room was fairly clean but could've been more hygienic. Steakhouse service could've been better especially since we had to wait 2 days for reservations. Customer service desk male person refused to assist my dsughter & I on 2 separate days, was sure if it was discriminatory or he just lazy.
−Booking a water taxi off the private beach for 1.5 hours and be stranded on coco de Playa for over an hour passed pickup time. We were forgotten. Also didn't appreciate the solicitors on the Resort private beach made the experience a nuisance. Actually book the resort to not be disturbed and hounded to make purchases...very uncomfortable experience leading to us not Actually going on the beach.

+Todo impecable y las instalaciones limpias permanentemente. La comida muy rica!
−Mis niños estaban súper ilusionados con la fiesta de espuma pero cuando llegamos a la piscina no la hicieron y nadie explicó nada. Esperamos 1 hora pensando que estaban atrasados, pero nunca fue la fiesta. Entonces fuimos a ruiland por qué había una búsqueda del tesoro, y cuando llegamos la persona a cargo nos dice que también se suspendió… La persona a cargo del club kids Riuland, no era idónea para ese cargo, siempre con cara de cansada y con cero ganas de estar con niños. El resto del personal impecable.

“Cumple para descansar”
+En general una grata experiencia, instalaciones muy nuevas. La habitacion comoda, camas y almohadas, baño amplio. Faltaron amenidades como crema de manos. Personal en general amable, nadie particularmente destacable, es de entender que siendo un hot sopt para extranjeros ( USA ) la atencion para los locales ( no propina ) sea diferente ademas al ser un hotel de alto trafico los detalles personales puedan ser pocos. La comida bastante variada para una estancia de 3 noches. Entretenimiento interesante, nada espectacular. 8/10
−Mejores amenidades en las habitaciones. Posibilidad de reservar en todos los restaurants ( hacer fila no es lo mejor)

+La comida muy buena. El personal muy amable
−El olor de los baños de las habitaciones era muy desagradable. Parte del hotel olía a desagüe. El show es pésimo y los precios de la tienda y las fotos es excesivo
