“This all-inclusive beachfront hotel has potential but appears to be undergoing changes. While some experiences seem inconsistent, its location on Bávaro Beach and the array of activities make it a viable option for those seeking sun and entertainment. I observed that the wellness center and diverse dining options could provide a solid base for a relaxing getaway if the hotel addresses its maintenance and service gaps.”
