The service within the hotel was excellent. So polite and helpful. Breakfast buffet was very good as was the hotel gym.
We did have issues with the electricity/tv in our particular room which we had to get assistance.
Only issue was the smoking of the guests- they smoked everywhere- especially in the pool area which we didn’t appreciate at all.

Overall value and experience only fair
Overall our stay was pleasant, the room was big enough but felt a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Outdoor space, including pool area and bars, the park and access to the beach, as well as access to other structures for dinner are beautiful. But…the property description was not clear about this hotel having a convention center attached which draws large groups. That plus a large wedding group from the UK caused a lot of commotion, inappropriate noise, resulting in the advertised ambience (think spa/wellness) to be compromised. We will not visit again and will search for better fitting accommodations with better value. Almost $600 lodging per night including breakfast deserves more.

Really Nice Resort
The Epic was just that, Epic. The customer service was great, the room spacious with a large comfy balcony and the meals delicious and varied. The pools were a good temperature and had plenty of chairs around them. The beach is a bit of a walk but very nice to have on property. However, the ocean water was only in the high 60’s in July so it was nice to have the pool options. We had a two bathroom suite which made getting ready for the day quicker. The room had a nice layout. Overall the hotel was quite impressive.

The property was beautiful, clean, and staff was friendly. The resort is situated on a beautiful cliff side beach. Parking was free and the valet feature is extremely convenient. Also appreciated the ability to have poolside service and order via QR code right from where you are sitting. The resort is big and can take some time waking from different points of interest. Just a note the room layout is more ideal for couples.

Incredible hotel with amazing views. Plenty of pools to enjoy. Jessica at the front desk was extremely helpful with giving us recommendations. Patricia in the restaurant was so nice and friendly. The entire staff could not do enough for us. The breakfast had everything you can think of and it was fresh and delicious. Can’t say enough about this hotel. Hope to return .

We loved everything about this hotel. We had a 1 bedroom suite which was large, with 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette. It was quiet and had great black-out blinds. All of the staff we encountered were wonderful. There are multiple pools which were never crowded, and a beautiful beach. I would highly recommend this hotel!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet there. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The property is very clean and kept up well.
The only issue we experienced is the tv kept going in and out. We had a wait a few minutes before the signal returned. This happened multiple times.

Location wise, there are some decent restaurants, ice creams and a supermarket within 5 mins walk and you can access tennis and padel courts for a small fee.

Landscape around the hotel is nice. Food was not good and expensive. We were given a room next to staff room so struggled to sleep from the noise. I think the hotel was over priced
