This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. We were placed in multiple rooms, all of which were dirty and unsafe — visible mold, blood/body fluid stains on bedding, strong foul odors, broken fixtures, and unsecured doors. The conditions made it difficult to breathe. This is not a 4-star property. The sanitation, safety, and customer service were completely unacceptable. I would not recommend staying here.

This place cost $347 USD per night, this was definitely not worth the money. We had bugs, mold, no hot water, and broken furniture, chipped floor tiles and a swimsuit panty liner stuck to our front door for the whole stay!! The safe didn’t work, the sliding door didn’t lock, the TV wouldn’t turn off. To say we are disappointed is an understatement.

Loved the pools and beach; just closed a bit early for what I would have liked: 5pm for salt water pool which isn’t salt water at all and is only a small area that is slotted for the hotel which is annoying for what they are advertising as the biggest pool, 6pm for pool with slides, and then 8pm for the main pool. When you pick your rooms and choose access to saltwater pool you are in for a long walk everyday since that building is the farthest from all other amenities and dining. Also all the water activities you have to rent equipment and it’s very pricey. I didn’t choose to do any of those. Overall I would definitely return being better informed how it all operates. Staff was super amazing and food was great! I definitely would recommend since it’s a great time! We stayed for 4days and did love it! Food was amazing with a great variety! Great for families and adults only trips. They cater to both with their different activities throughout the day!

The properties are not well maintained. The room we stayed in one bed was missing a doublet only had a sheet. The other the bed had the doublet and a sheet on top so missing a bottom sheet. Only 2 towels were provided for 4 guest. The door to the room was not closing properly and had issues opening the door. It is a good hotel if your only going to use the water slide ameneties.

Worst hotel ever! The place was very dirty and full of cockroaches. It is nothing like what it looks like online. The place is old and run down. This place is a scam. We could not stay at this property due to cockroaches and dirty room. We had a wonderful stay at a nice clean hotel in the city. It was a hard time to get back my money which I didn’t get back the right amount. Please avoid this hotel!

Estabamos celebrando aniversario y no fue una mala decisión escoger playa blanca. 1. Esperamos una hora por la habitación. 2. Se pagó por una habitación con vista al mar y cama king, recibimos una habitación la 119 doble con vista a los árboles, tuvimos que bajar y pedir cambio. 3. Una vez en la habitación 601 sin vista al mar, fue ok. La habitación esta fea y deteriorada: cortinas sucias, balcón, aire acondicionado deteriorados. 4. Bajamos al snack, el queso de los nachos es agua de queso. 5. La cena fue lo único mejorcito y eso porque el personal nos escuchó y porque el pescado y el pollo que pedimos estaban buenos; y la atención de Aurelio y los otras dos meseras fue buena. 6. El desayuno malo y frío. Se nota que: 1. No le están inviertiendo 1 dólar en mantenimiento al lugar. 2. Se nota que la comida es de bajo costo porque un queso tan diluido, una salchicha que se nota que es de la más económica, yel café aguado. 3. Ofrecen comida barata y de baja calidad y lo que ustedes consideran de buena calidad no esta incluido. Tan mala fue la experiencia que salimos a las 11.
