Playa Alicia

Everything was great everyone was so friendly and happy

The staff doesn’t seem to attend to different cultures here. Most staff does not speak English nor play American music. When the music is played which is rare , it is turned off almost immediately. For it to be an all adult resort the pool bar closes early, and they have a set schedule

The property is beautiful and we were happy for most of our stay. My one big warning: the travel club tour. It’s pitched the first day as a 90-minute breakfast and property tour at the neighboring hotel. Instead, it became a 3-hour hard sell for a package: $25,000, plus $699, plus $1,140 over 6 months, then $304 plus 3% over 60 months. It’s uncomfortable having a stranger (ours was named Nalleis) sit at your table day one. They offer $100 for your time, but it’s very pushy, and they treat you poorly if you say no. One morning we couldn’t even enjoy breakfast because they were working in the restaurant selling to other families. It may suit retired frequent travelers, but if you travel 1–3 times a year, skip it.Some waiters also expected a tip for everything , even bringing a spoon. Skip the tip and some wouldn’t bring a drink or return a “good morning.” That said, huge thanks to Raldy, Willman, and Yisela for excellent service. They made our stay better. Tips: the dolphins excursion is great. The supreme tour is okay, but skip the market stop — it feels mocking, and even locals questioned the point of it.
