We went in November and the buffet was my favourite 🤣 we would go for breakfast at 7am and it was my favourite time of day and the service was so pleasant in the early morning on the patio side, breathless. We paid extra for the lobster dinner at Fuego on of the nights and it wasn’t the best.
I've just found your channel. I'm glad you liked your first all-inclusive experience because I'll need you to visit more of them due to you being a foodie who tells it like it is. It's so difficult to find foodies who do A-I resort reviews. You showed most of the dishes you discussed but I wish you showed all of them (that you discussed)...especially the pasta dish.
I’m going to be there in 2 weeks for honeymoon! How do I book the excursions? Do we wait until we get there? Would LOVE to do the sinkhole swimming one
What time of year did you go that it was so empty? Also, do you recall any of the other name changes that happened? A lot of videos I've seen have mentioned Lemon Fish and Cappela's but neither of those are their website!
It is definitely all-inclusive! There is 1 restaurants NOT included in the all-inclusive price (the steakhouse) but everything else is included. Hope that helps!
Thanks for this great review! How were the pools? Ive seen some comments that they are cold? Any construction on-site? Did you happen to check out the kids club, was it open?
The pools weren't cold when we were there. They felt totally refreshing- perfect temp. There was some construction in the main area which was kind of annoying but it was still a beautiful property! Lastly, we didn't check out the kids club but we did meet some parents there whose kids were in what i assume was the club and did activities with other kids of a good part of the day while the parents got to relax by the pool bar haha. Hope that helps!
Depends on the service! A couple bucks if there's waiter service at a buffet or all-inclusive restaurant. A dollar (20 pesos) for a drink but maybe more to all of that if we really liked the person!
@@vvvvvreib8670 5th avenue is literally 2 blocks away from the resort and runs parallel to the beach. Its super long so you can walk a long ways. Guys might come up offering you excursions and weed but it's very safe and touristy and you'll see police roaming around too. On 5th, even at night it's very busy so you don't have to worry about being on a deserted street. Even when we went further than that for dinner and stuff, everything seemed very safe. Just be aware of your surroundings and use common sense but I'd definitely say it's worth roaming! Walk around during the day if it makes you feel safer😊
Thank you very much for the information about the restaurans there, cause you are not the one, who's just been dissapointed about the main "breakfast/dinner dinner room".
no they don't but they have a bar that stays open and has shows/ plays music. a couple of nights people were dancing in there as well. hope that helps!
We're going back in October for our second time. It's an incredible resort. Great video!

Hahaha well maybe the switched it up for you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and i totally agree that the service was great 😊
When it comes to all inclusive resorts, you must manage your expectations buffet wise. I went and it was just fine for all 3 meals
Haha you’re totally right… I think I’m just always wishing for the best!

So far cielo has been my favorite, this is my second time here and definitely very happy with the food and service
That's awesome to hear! The service is definitely top notch!
@@SavaSnacks update!! Im no longer there but Lemon Fish was 100% mine and my families favorite. Everything was so good and was rich in taste
Thank you for the review! Helped make my mind up on going to the paradise blues festival next year.
oh yay! glad I could help- enjoy your vacation!
I absolutely just fell in love with ya? "who wants to go to another country to sit around etc?" Me I am that girl LOL :)
Hahahha! Well then I'll grab a drink with you by the pool 😀

How are the rooms? Through expedia it just says double bed. We have 2 kids so want to make sure the space is enough
Hallo wir waren im Oktober in diesem hotel und haben einen sehr schönen Urlaub gehabt.Wir kommen gerne wieder ❤
Wow, this sounds fantastic! Wish I was there! Thanks!
Haha, I wish you were too! Sending love to you guys 💕
Great review thanks. I think we will tr y to go there!
You definitely should!! You'll love it 💕
I saw some reviews that said it wasn't really all inclusive as advertised. Is this true?
It is definitely all-inclusive! There is 1 restaurants NOT included in the all-inclusive price (the steakhouse) but everything else is included. Hope that helps!
Correct, they will start charging you for everything once you get there
Thanks for sharing sis. Was there anything there for kids to do?
Yes! They had a whole day club for kids to go and play with eachother while instructors watched over them.

@@SavaSnacks thanks for all the info! Excited for our upcoming stay! 🤗
@@amberaslam5190 enjoy your trip!
Ice cold and no life guard on site
Were they still doing renovations in when you went? In Pyramid 3?
I think we were in pyramid 3 and yes, still doing reno to the main part of the resort!
How much do you normally tip?
Depends on the service! A couple bucks if there's waiter service at a buffet or all-inclusive restaurant. A dollar (20 pesos) for a drink but maybe more to all of that if we really liked the person!
Don't tip them anything
Do you think 4 nights/5 days is good enough length to stay?
Yes, for sure! Hope you have a great time 😊
Hello! Do you know if they give you pool supplies, like floaties or donuts ?
Asking for my kids lol
Haha I don’t think so but I’m not sure, sorry! Enjoy your trip 😊
@@SavaSnacks thank ya anyways!
When you guys roamed outside the resort did it seem fairly safe ? How far was it away ?

Was it safe to venture off outside the hotel property?
Yes, we felt very safe and secure, even taking local busses to the downtown area. Don't be afraid!
so everything you ate was basically free? im confused
Yes! This was an all inclusive resort so all the food and drinks were free!
How did you book your off resort activities?
You can do it through the resort or I like to book online through things like TripAdvisor too. Hope that helps!
Did u have to pay extra for the restaurants
No, it was all inclusive! There is 1 restaurant that you have to pay for but we didn’t go there. Hope that helps!
How’s their gym?
Small- sorry I just saw this!
Hello! I'll be right there in next 2 weeks
I’m jealous! Enjoy your vacation ☺️
Thank you very much for the information about the restaurans there, cause you are not the one, who's just been dissapointed about the main "breakfast/dinner dinner room".
Did you like the resort?
very good review! Thanks
Thanks, Barbara! Glad you liked it 😊
Hello where do you have to make a reservation
For dinner
Hi Judy, You can make reservations with the front desk (i think!) and if not with them, they will point you to the right person! Hope that helps!
Did they have a night club ?
no they don't but they have a bar that stays open and has shows/ plays music. a couple of nights people were dancing in there as well. hope that helps!
It's NOT FREE!
Your room rate is twice that of a regular hotel had it all inclusive.
To say the food is free is a stretch
lol yes, you are right but it's an EASY strech to make ☺
Thanks for the review, but too much of you and not the resort . Your pretty bet don’t see all your face the whole time
