We loved the adults only pool and servers at the pool , Luis was our guy all week and he was awesome!
We spent our days at the pool and planned for dinners and evenings out on Malecon boardwalk and the romantico zone.
Perfect vacation spot for us!

There are a lot of positives about the property such as the hard working people who try so hard to make you happy with scare resources. The location and beach are good but the shelves in our room were dusty, broken levers in shower, no hot water working for tub and no room safe, stained towels etc. Also not enough lounge chairs around the adult pool so people are racing out at 5 in the morning to secure chairs. Food is not great. The app that you need to use for the reservation system for the restaurants never worked and booking through the concierge never showed up at the restaurant so you’d show up for dinner to be kicked out. I hope new management of the property will improve the whole place. Again the people are great and work so hard. The New Year’s party dinner they put on was absolutely excellent

The room’s AC did not work, no safe either. Paper thin walls can hear neighbours clearly all night. Not enough pool chairs, lots are broken and it’s impossible to get one unless you wake up at 5-6 am to sit on them( if you leave the staff takes your stuff away).
Food is very poor, never once had bacon in the morning as it was always empty and never filled. Always lines for the buffetts at dinner as at full capacity it can not handle it.
The only good thing about the resort was the people, very hard working and happy. Definitely a sub 3.5 star resort. Would not return

All the employees at the resort are amazing! The food is average, the resort is clean and the drinks are cold! All in all, it was a nice stay for an all inclusive.
I could write a whole essay but here are the big issues.
One is the mosquitos are terrible at the hacienda side you couldn’t be out of the water without getting attacked
The rooms were covered in mold
You pay for a swim up pool completely shaded so it’s freezing because they don’t heat it so it’s honestly a massive waste of money
The food was awful the only decent food was the lunch pavilion
The breakfast was ok except the pancakes and French toast would be raw in the middle
Most of our dinners were served extremely cold food just terrible lack of effort on the food side.
The only thing saving this resort is the bartenders and servers
We had a suite with a swim out area, and outdoor sitting area with lounge chairs, which we very much enjoyed.
The Hacienda is adult only, which we very much enjoyed.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
When we arrived we thought this was going to be amazing by their initial interactions. Room was disgusting. AC didn’t work. The concierge tried to force into a presentation and when we didn’t show she wasn’t willing to help anymore. Things were promised and didn’t happen. I had better food in my college dorm room.
Had a very nice stay at Hacienda. Cleanliness 3.5/5, service by staff is 4.5/5, food was 3.5/5 unless you make a reservation to their restaurants. Hacienda for adults only was fantastic, the property was much cleaner than the main Krystal Grand. It was quiet at night and security does a fantastic job of telling other guests to be respectful of others sleeping. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely go back.
Really nice, relaxing week that went by way too quickly. Our Junior Suite with pool was spacious, quiet and close to the adult pool, breakfast buffet and lunch buffet. Poolside service was attentive and also easy to go directly to swim up bar. A la carte restaurants ranged from underwhelming to great in the same (Steakhouse) restaurant. Some people knocked the food however my wife and I, overall found enough variety to be happy with the menu. We ate at the larger buffet nearer to the beach a couple of times.
A couple of standouts for service. Elizabeth at the Conceirge was great at helping with activities, a la carte restaurants and knowledge of the facilities. The other is Emma who served us in both breakfast and lunch buffets. Emma was attentive, friendly and clearly loves what she does. Also went above and beyond by getting me bags of ice, so I could ice my knees poolside and helped us with our Spanish! Both these ladies were hard to say goodbye to and a reason to return. We will keep this property on our list to recommend and to rebook with.
Overall, very nice property with consistent service and great food and drink options. I really enjoyed the flexibility of enjoying the Hacienda and Krystal Grand pool and beach areas - a very different experience at both.
