This resort was great. We didnt have high expectations for the food and it was actually very good. The animals in the resort did make it unique. The only complaint we had was the drinks at the bars. Everything was premixed syrup and tasted like sucralose.

We were very disappointed this time at the resort. It’s really gone downhill since we were here 6 years ago. If you were not on the app right at midnight to book a reservation for dinner you could not get a reservation. Literally everything was booked by 12:01. It was very frustrating. We arrived 13 mins late for one reservation due to snorkeling and they refused to seat us. We were all dressed up and excited (just me and my daughter) and they turned us away. I had to be down at the pool no later than 8am to get a chair for us. The room service food was very limited. No substitutions allowed. (Simple, like add cheese). I bought a ring in the Mexican market shopping night. The guy sold me a ring for more than double the cost of the jewelry store at the resort. When I came back and confronted him and requested a refund or a proper price they got very nasty and basically told me too bad. I bought another item at the jewelry store at the resort. Wasn't given a receipt. They have a sign that says if you didn’t receive a receipt, email us within 30 minutes and you will get a store credit. I did just that and they told me sorry. You don’t get that. I looked at my charge in my Amex app and he had charged me more than double. Almost $500. I had to go back in and Have the transaction voided and put back through. Had I not realized it, we would have been SOL. It seemed to have Been done on purpose. Also no animals like there used to be. Gone yet still advertised on their maps.

The wildlife and jungle experience is amazing and a lot of cool things to do for free around the property but the food is absolutely horrible and almost impossible to get into a-la-cartes. The couple we did get into, the food was not much better. The main buffet was very disorganized of where things were placed making wait times much longer.

Only book here if you enjoy eating buffet for your entire stay. Their A La Carte dining options are a joke to try and book. They say at midnight you can book dinner for the next day, but when you try to book you get errors on the app. Youll have to come up with some sob story to tell the concierge so that they book you into a resturaunt - but even then, they will book you for a different one than you asked for,

Resort is getting dated, rooms need a renovation. A la Carte reservation system needs an immediate improvement. Not enough restaurants for the number of people on resort. You need to reserve at midnight for the next day…if you log on at 12:03, all reservations are taken…maybe the Royal Elite members are given preference. If so they definitely should not advertise so many a la cartes. Even the buffets had line ups to get in. And the food was always cold and kinda gross.

Rooms were immaculate. Food was overall ok- loved the al la carte restaurants. The jungle was lovely but the pools were too small for the resort size and volume of people- cloudy and needed way more filtering.

The property was outdated and flies and bugs in the room. The pools were dirty and we couldn’t get reservations for any other dining the entire stay so we ate at the buffets everyday. Our air conditioning broke and for two days we were sweating in our rooms and they never got it working. At night I slept with no sheets because it was too hot.

The process of getting restaurant reservations was horrible. You had to wake up at midnight everyday to get a reservation for that day. The resort staff would not tell you this even if you asked specifically about it because they knew they did not have enough restaurants to feed everyone. The mattresses were also very hard and not comfortable.
