The Expedia Guest Team, Lyanya, Melisa, Maria and Mar were so helpful. The app wasn't working for us so we asked them to make dinner reservations at the on site restaurants. Thank you, ladies. Eat at the restaurants and avoid the buffet!
The resort itself is dated but comfortable. Walking around and learning where everything is easy. Our room was near the ocean, pools, buffet, sports bar and tram, everything needed was accessible. Beach bar closes at 6pm. Don't understand the negative reviews about having to walk as things are a little spaced out. Unless there is a medical reason or age, just take a leisurely walk and burn some calories. STAFF: check in/out, bellboys, maids & drivers were friendly and ready to help. The only real negative was the shower: no hot water and low water pressure. We adjusted and took quick, lukewarm showers. We let staff know but it didn't bother us.
INCEDENTALS: bring small bills, $1's ,$5's, 10's for tipping as it's is customary. Use the resort transport company Seek and Go for airport transfers. Just email the resort a few days ahead with air info and they arrange it for you. The reps wear green polo shirts and speak English. Don't use airport taxis. A half mile walk from the resort there is a group of shops/pharmacy for snacks, water, medicine, souvenirs and currency exchange. If needed get a taxi to/from Walmart, the drivers will wait for you. Pina Coladas & Margaritas on the beach? Yes please!! It's a slow pace, laid back vibe so enjoy it.
