The privacy and quiet were what we were looking for. We stayed at this resort 5 years ago and it seems that property maintenance and upkeep have been deferred. They could use a little sprucing up. Food quality seems to have tapered off a little also. Staff remembered us and we again had excellent service. The room is spacious, the view is excellent, the quiet atmosphere for a romantic long weekend was perfect for what we needed.

Senses is a beautiful, quiet getaway for us and we love coming here every year! The food is absolutely amazing and the rooms are clean and very spacious and the view from every room is spectacular! Most of all we love the friendly staff who work so hard to make sure that all of your needs are met. Christian, Angel, Hernan and Gerardo have been employed there for many years and we love coming to visit them twice a year. We can't wait to come relax here again in April!

My wife and I booked this resort for our 10 year anniversary. We were concerned with the reviews, as they are mixed. Shortly after arriving we found that most bad reviews were unwarranted. This resort is for a specific demographic. For couples who want a very quiet, personal and romantic holiday it’s exceptional service. We stayed for 7 days and were not bored at anytime. While there is not a big night life, the Blend restaurant is still a great time until 11pm every night. The staff will play any music requests and dancing is always welcomed. The drinks are always done just right! The al la carte menu is amazing with some very talented chefs! Please do not let the bad reviews discourage you from booking and experiencing this gem! The resort does need some maintenance, the beach access to the southwest (Iberostar) is rocky. However, at low tide it is easy to navigate. If this is not acceptable, NO PROBLEM! The beach access to the northeast has no issues and the beach is very swimmer friendly! Communication was never a problem, even with our poor Spanish. We hope nothing but the best for this resort and the staff that make it so amazing!! BOOK WITH THEM!!!

Finally back from our trip and have had some time to reflect. I wanted to give an honest, detailed review, because I know the previous reviews had an influence on my decision. Overall, we had an amazing time at Senses. What you are getting is an intimate, relaxing vacation when you stay here. It's adults only, and not heavy on activities. For the price, it's not much to upgrade to the honeymoon suite. The rooms are massive. The patios have a great view, and super private. We were never worried about anyone being able to see us in our room or on the balcony. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to stay on the first floor, everyone at the pool can see into your room, which would really defeat the purpose of having an ocean view. Our room was great. We made friends with other couples who had a much worse time. One couple didn't have hot water the entire trip. Another had to change rooms because their bed was broken. If that had happened to us, I'd be writing a much different review, and it definitely explained some of the other reviews I read when booking this. You're going to get to know the staff, and they are all amazing and go above and beyond. I enjoyed every meal I had there. But the availability of food was a bit of an issue. There are no late night options, so if you don't get back till 10:30 pm, you're out of luck. They tended to be out of a lot of things at the pool bar, which was annoying. Portions can be small, but you can always order more. Overall though, great stay.

The pictures of the rooms looked really nice. It seems since the original building of this hotel they haven't put much money into maintaining it so the place was starting to fall apart. The jacuzzis on the balconies were all broken. The jacuzzi in our room would leak such that it wouldn't fill. Tiles were falling off in the pool. The only activities they had beside the pool was a pool table and crappy dart board. They never had what was on the menu for lunch. Rooms weren't all that clean and sometimes didnt have towels. That said it was still overall a beautiful location and dinner staff were very friendly and accomodating.

The people were very friendly and accommodating. Most of the food was fantastic, one of my breakfasts was a bit over cooked. The dinners were very good. We got a different themed menu every night. The dessert was always fantastic, we had cheescake, chocolate lava cake, apple crapes. Very upper scale food. If you are looking for buffet style this is not your place. The little pool side bar you could get hotdogs, burgers, frys and most alcoholic beverages you would want. Pool was very refreshing but some of the tiles were falling off but is right in front of the ocean so that was nice. If you wanted to go shopping you need to take a taxi about 20min and most of the drivers would set up a time to pick you up and bring you home when you were done. We were there for New Years Eve and they hosted a fancy dinner with a live saxophone player. He was really good. At midnight we got to watch fireworksfrom two other resorts that were close by.

Rooms were ok, shower areas floor were broken, the balcony pool had to be filled at request, we couldent fill it or use it when we’re wanted to as it took too long to fill. The outside pool was dirty hence we didn’t use it at all. Food was good! Definitely liked the food! Especially their hot sauce. The road in was horrible soo many potholes. Once we got to hotel, I felt it’s way over priced for the size of the hotel, we could have spend $500 more and get a whole resort in Hilton or any major brands. They call them self a resort but it’s not it’s a hotel. All you see in the images is exactly what you get there is nothing more. Won’t be booking them again.

We tried to cancel our reservation due to some reviews and we are so glad we didn't!!!! We enjoyed our stay at Senses very much and will be back! Christian who works at the welcome desk was friendly, welcoming and most helpful. The food was just excellent in both the snack restaurant and the dining room upstairs. The serving staff was so very friendly, professional and efficient. I lost my list of names I wanted to mention but there were two people who made our mealtime extra special. One was the middle aged gentleman who served breakfast and lunch. The other was a very well spoken young man who spoke perfect English and served at the dinner spot. Both men seemed to be head servers. You may recognize them but the entire staff was great. The views are the most amazing you can ask for. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There are a few upgrades that would be nice like the couch, but you can see they are working around the resort fixing, upgrading and painting. You can message via WhatsApp for any issues and the emails are responded to within minutes. All rooms are ocean view and pool view rooms are ground floor. Sitting around the pool was wonderful. Beach access to the north side is easy... beach access to the south side depends on the tide. We rented a car and part of the road in is rocky but nothing crazy. Resort is nestled among a neighbourhood and other resorts. We loved the size, location, meals and staff. Very relaxing stay. We will definitely return!
