First, the location of this hotel is great - minutes walk from CocoBongo and the other major hotel strip nightclubs, many eateries and a great supermarket. It is on an awesome beach - very clean, white silky soft sand, beautiful warm gentlish blue ocean, no dangerous critters to speak of, wide and nearly flat with no under toe in front of the hotel, and you can walk for miles! We were grateful we did not do the all inclusive. Firstly this website is not sufficiently clear as to what is included in the all inclusive. The buffet we purchased at the hotel was barely edible. The drinks we purchased were not worth drinking. The restaurant meals and room service in the hotel were of a marginal standard. This may be related to the habitual tastes of the patrons. We are from Canada; the vast majority of the other residents at the hotel were locals. We used Uber daily, and found it excellent. It stops on the main road right outside the hotel. We used etransfer for our transfer back to the airport (38 USD) - book ahead online. Uber can't go into the airport. The taxis at the airport try to maintain their monopoly by feeding those arriving a cocktail of partial misinformation and veiled threat. They all quote 85 USD for the approx 20 min ride to the hotel. After repeatedly refusing to pay that, they settled for $50
