"This property is HUGE and difficult to oriantate myself especially after a long flight. Staff provided directions but truth be told, it was confusing. I noticed several people getting lost daily. HOWEVER, once you get the hang of it, relax after a long flight, and eat/drink..you feel like you are in paradise. Management is particularly helpful/supportive at addressing any concerns. The food was incredibly declicious... CASANONA staff and food--- SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I strongly reccomend this property."

"Vacationed here for our honeymoon. Beach was beautiful. Well maintained. A tractor was picking up seaweed every morning. Food was 4 out of 5 stars. A few misses but generally good. The little 24hr coffee shop is awesome to have. Only real things that needs improvement is the entertainment. The โ€œacrobat showโ€ and their โ€œboogie nightsโ€ wasโ€ฆ we will say underwhelming. At least for whatโ€™s considered a fine star resort. Also they do push a bit as soon as you arrive for you to attend a Hilton presentation. I didnโ€™t really like having a sales pitch to attend a sales pitch on my vacation at a five star resort. Otherwise everything else was fantastic. The staff was the highlight with 5/5 service and friendliness."
