This hotel advertises itself as a five star, the reality is far from it. We arrived to a lovely grand foyer and it looked very impressive. We got to a family room and came crashing down to earth, the bed arrangements were poor with a basic with a pull out bed as the 3rd bed on the kitchen floor, poorly fitted light fittings , the toilet seat was broken, a cheap dirty shower curtain and the double bed was two single beds pushed together, so if you wanted to have some "fun" in bed, think again as the beds slip apart. The food was average, but they put it out like an hour before opening so it is cold when you get to eat, the menu was very basic and hardly changed all week. The all inclusive drinks are very low quality and you can't get a proper pint as it comes in small plastic children's cups. The hotel advertises a tennis court but it is a hard concrete court that they use as storage for outdoor furniture (see pic). We were excited to find the games room only to find that all of the machines/amusements were either faulty or completely broken. The entertainment was poorly arranged and managed, cancellations without notice, no indication where it is and little to no interaction with guests. The staff looked miserable most of the time, and when you ask for a drink it's like you've asked them for a huge favour. The bars close randomly and sometimes can't get a drink at all. Location is okay as it's a small walk from the strip and a beach. We booked one of their meal nights at another one of their hotels as all inclusive guests, the other hotel got every order wrong and literally had 3 options to choose from on a Mexican night. If you just want a place to sleep it will be fine, would advise eating elsewhere and not particularly family friendly. Apologies for the "war and peace" review but hope it helps.

I hate to leave negative reviews, but I have to share a bad experience at this hotel. All that's good to say is that the location is pretty ideal, 5 mins walk to beaches and the strip. But here comes the negativity (sorry:/) Firstly, The entertainment here is the worst of any hotel I've ever been to. First 3 nights we were promised singers / entertainers and nothing at all showed up other than some music played on a speaker. Absolutely no entertainment for kids or anyone during the day. 'Kareoki night' consisted of a guy come in, say he was gonna do karaoke and it just... never started... And they played music on a speaker all night instead. It was just awful. The evening vibe was always very awkward and low amongst everyone that went out to the seating area. Secondly, the rooms. Our room was cleaned once maybe twice in the entire week we were there for no reason whatsoever. My uncles was on a different floor and also only cleaned I think twice. Our toilet roll wasn't refilled so we had to literally take our own from the supply cupboard that was always left unlocked. It's just so unacceptable from a hygiene point of view. Thirdly, food. What can I say, this opinion varies from person to person but the actual hotel food wasn't for me. If you book specific nights (Indian, chinese) etc, it's really good! I'd recommend that. But the hotel food is a meh. Also, the canteen isn't big enough for the amount of guests so most nights they were full and try to force you to go to a smaller outdoor restaurant around the corner. Finally, they don't explain anything! Usually in hotels they have leaflets for local things to do, people who come in and basically sell stuff, but it's so useful to know. They just have nothing here. We always found stuff to do on the last couple of days which would have been amazing to know and be told about earlier. The only light in the dark is that the reception staff are very kind and helpful. Same can't be said about some people in the dining room however who were very very uptight and we had our cutlery thrown onto our table one night by a staff member who was upset during a disagreement with a male colleague (who did seem very arrogant and uptight) Overall, we had a good week but ONLY because we are the kinda family that can make our own entertainment. From a hotel POV; I'd urge people to go elsewhere.
