[quote=Anonymous]Review from a week ago discussing how dangerous the water was from the waves:

Picked this resort because of the price, wanting a more budget friendly trip this time.  Well you get what you pay for. The good... The rooms were clean, our air conditioning always worked, minibar was stocked, and housekeeping did cute turn downs evey night. We found a swimup bar we liked away from the insanity of the main pool.  The bartender Yina was fantastic!  We had a waiter, Edwar, who we found our first day and had him for most of our meals.  The food was OK.  Awesome fresh fruit every morning, and tons of choices.  The bad....We had Edwar for almost all meals because aside from one restaurant--its all buffets.  That got VERY old after a week.  On vacation, we like to go to nice restaurant and get waited on.  Even the steakhouse that is the only non buffet--didn't have many choices. You picked your protein and everything else was the same for everyone.  The liquor is not great, and you can't order a mixed drink at the buffet for dinner.  They have wine or beer only. Most of their drinks are extremely sweet, and there aren't any top shelf liquors.  The beach is stunningly gorgeous, and if you wanna wade a little you can, but it is a rolling thunder of waves the majority of the time.  I was talking to a dominican who said how lucky we were to have a day that was "so calm"--this after i was wiped out twice by waves, just trying to stand in the shallows.  This resort is primarily for partiers.  The main activity pool, was so disgusting.  Packed with 3/4 naked drunk "adult kids"  spilling their drinks and relieving themselves in the pool.  You couldn't see the bottom of the pool because of the murky water.  The dirtiness of the resort itself, is because of the guests--not the lack of effort by staff.  There is a fabulous Jerk Chicken chef by the beach (by far our best meal every day).  But, people would finish their chicken and just throw their garbage on the beach or lawn chairs.  Pigeons everywhere picking up bones.  Plus they leave their drink cups etc...everywhere.  Very disappointing to see--but many times there were so many groupls of drunks that they really didnt care.  We managed to find a nice pool, with fun yet respectful people, so we did have a great time.  I will never stay in this place again.  Just depends on what you like or expect from a resort.[/quote]
