This is my second time in PV and I stayed at Crown Paradise both times because of kids and the water park.
The good.I love most of the staff. The bell boys and the bartenders are great along with some of the servers. The front desk not so much.
The buffet food in my opinion was great. The first time I went they served fresh tacos, this time I didn’t see it but in all reality there was enough food to choose from. Kids menu was a bit lacking our daughter usually grabbed from regular buffet line. They need more juice options.
The a la cartes staff was great, the food was mediocre but the desserts were delicious.
The pools were cold and not heated, the family one was usually overcrowded and hard to find seats but the water park for the kids was a hit.
Loved the beach aside from the vendors constantly approaching every few min. Once you do say no they do leave you alone. Once you purchase from one the whole crew flocks.
The rooms are okay, the balcony is great, the bathrooms have a weird smell coming from them, the beds are not queen they are more like twins but the air con works, the fridge is constantly restocked, the cleaning staff is nice and accommodating.
The drinks are delicious I love the pina colada and the paradise cooler. Daughter loved the Barbie drink for kids and pina calada for kids.
The grounds are maintained well. I feel like the pools are too small to the amount of volume of people they allow to stay at a time.
