Recently stayed through GoBlue Tours for spring break. For what we paid, it was great! Very close to the bright blue beaches, and the property was nice. Rooms were very clean. The food was questionable, but none of my group got sick. The fresh pizzas and tacos were great. The hotel also had no problem stocking our room with plenty of water bottles daily as well as extra towels and sodas. For what we paid ~799/5days I was expecting a lot worse!! We really enjoyed our stay, the reviews online make it seem so much worse but it wasn't bad at all.
