Strong reef access and well-liked food, but renovations make room choice important.
This beachfront 4-star all-inclusive is a strong pick for travelers who want diving and snorkeling without giving up resort comforts. The house reef, on-site Toucan Diving and three pools are the main draws. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the food, friendly staff and spacious rooms; the buffet earns more enthusiasm than many all-inclusives manage. We'd favor a confirmed renovated room rather than assume every category matches the newer photos.
The resort is still renovating its remaining room types and building Senti Spa, which is not due to open until 2027. Some guests report little disruption, but others mention construction noise. Older-room condition and open bathroom layouts also deserve checking before booking. Standard all-inclusive excludes some premium drinks and dining options. It's good for a water-focused holiday; we'd skip it if construction-free quiet or a fully operating spa is essential.
