The tides restaurant had many options and all were delicious. alvin at tides was friendly and accommodating. I really appreciated that. the service from jen was excellent and catered to my every need.
The rooms are noticeably dated and lack refined finishes. the beach is small. It is not particularly appealing. the resort felt consistently overcrowded. there was a busy atmosphere.

The tides breakfast buffet was amazing! alvin joshua tuñacao really took care of us, he made sure we used our complimentary breakfast voucher. mamerto limaco iii helped us during dinner and even gave us a finger bowl for the seafood. the lechon fiesta presentation was so fun. I couldn't help but dance!
i arrived late, and they wanted to upsell me to the presidential suite for an extra $550 per night. they said it was a deal, but i declined the offer! then, they admitted they did not have a room for me. also, the plate of cashews, walnuts and peanuts on a plate in the room and 3 bags of nut snacks are not good idea considering my sons nut allergy

i found the staff consistently helpful. Bryan at reception offered swift assistance. Roland from housekeeping ensured super clean conditions. Daisy at the gym kept everything orderly. I also liked Jona at tides who created a special meal for my husband because of his allergies.
The breakfast area was very crowded. I advise starting your day earlier.
