"My mom and I loved our stay at Antera! All the staff at the hotel and restaurant were so lovely, and our room was spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. Our room (3rd floor residences) also faced the courtyard, so the nightlife noise was minimal (and only on the weekends). The only small issues we had were our showers not heating up well, and the 12am quiet hours not always being upheld. Thank you everyone at Antera for making our stay wonderful!"

"Property staff is extremely kind and helpful. Excellent service. The entertainment / shows was entertaining, fun and put together well. The buffet was average and not very impressive at all. We did not do the restaurants do to timing. Grounds is well kept and clean. Location is good easy to walk to shops. Not on the beach you do have to walk across the street to the beach behind the other hotel. Pools are nice and fun activities by staff. Our room had many issues lights out, outlet didn't work,...

"Great beach, but need more beach umbrellas and small fountains to wash off sand from the feet. Huge plus of this hotel that you don’t need reservations to the restaurants, no wait line. Buffet is very good, restaurants are very good , except Mexican. Shows are professional. Big disadvantage : guests from Riu Tequila are using the beach and buffet for lunch, so it is becoming VERY crowded. That is why hotel should put more sun umbrellas around the beach and pool areas. But otherwise definitely...

"We were thankful to be on the main level, not needing to carry our luggage up 2 floors, but we were not put in the room that we paid for. We paid for a 2 bed room, and we were given a King bed. We were told they were full and none available. Then when I showed my receipt stating we paid for 2 beds they had a room but it was on the 3rd floor and the AC was off. Breakfast is just around the corner, but their English is quite limited. We didn’t realize that they had a set menu for hotel guests,...
