Check in was smooth & easy. Location great for walk to town. We did that every day since there was not a beach to walk. Room was spacious, with little space for storage. Bed was comfortable, water pressure was good. Nice balcony overlooking the pool and cruise ships. Would not have wanted any other view. Room was serviced every day. The whole place was very clean. Elevators were quick, stairs were convenient.
The Rif was much quieter than the Mangrove. Beaches at both resorts were not much to look at, but nice enough and snorkeling at Mangrove was okay. Beach/pool chairs always available, but good spots taken early at Mangrove beach. Beach/pool towels were plentiful and always available.
There were plenty of bars well located throughout the resort. Most bartenders were friendly and attentive. The drinks were not consistent between bartenders. Rif has better alcohol.
The buffet was big with lots of options. Not so many if you're gluten free, as I am. Always had small gf section with rice, fish sautƩ, & chicken sautƩ, drumsticks, or dry pork chops. I took chance with several other items that I thought might be gluten free, risking cross contamination. We could always find some food that was good.
Restaurant reservations were kind of a pain. Slow line up at 10am. Learned the app was easier. Service varied. Food was okay.
Entertainment was lacking at both resorts. Some at 9pm (kinda late). Would be nice to have some local music.
Kayak tour offered at resort was nice
