Room was really nice and clean. Ingrit, from housekeeping was excellent, very kind and professional! All the staff was very friendly, especially Eduardo from the entertainment staff, he was very friendly, always quick with a smile, a hello and a friendly hug. The bartenders at the swim up bar, Rosi, Dalia and Leydi were amazing! The food was really good and the entire resort was beautiful and very clean! Really enjoyed all the wildlife at the resort!!

Staff are amazing, restaurant and on site.
There was a Little issue with the gluten free option in their restaurant, but after I went to front desk about this, I saw a large change from the staff and managers in the on site restaurant.
