Unbelievably clean grounds. Beautiful landscaping. Could always find a lounge chair at pool or beach. Very friendly staff that remembered us and made it feel like home. Walking along the beach, the other resorts nearby aren’t as well kept or luxurious. Wish they had 1-2 more restaurant options.

The only downside was the dining.Some nights food was cold and other nights waiting for a table was over a 1hour .Maybe a good idea would be a buffet so people with small children have another option and they do not have a long wait for food .

The property is very well maintained and small. The staff are delightful and the beach service is very good. The food is OK but it could be more refined. The options get a bit boring if you are staying for a week or so and the quality could be higher.

Very different from your usual all inclusive resorts. Do your research. Lots of strict rules. No taking food to go. No buffet. Sit down restaurants only. Annoying sales pitch at check in. Questions like "What do you do for a living"? No getting room key till you get through the pitch. No bottled water anywhere. Have to pay extra for bottled water... Room service is 10% charge. Tough with little kids with no buffet. Asked for ice cream to go at the restaurant by the pool, not allowed. Have to sit down to eat. Ice cream only after 1 pm... No more towels by the beach and infinity pool. They give you some kind of thin blankets to lie on.

The food and service at this resort are absolutely amazing. We didn’t eat a single thing we didn’t like. I read reviews about the beach being a long walk away and was concerned about that but it’s not a long walk at all. If you can’t make the short walk they do have a shuttle but I found it to be a very pretty pleasant 3 minute walk. Highly recommend this resort. The large spacious rooms are incredible as well.

Super clean and exceptionally well maintained. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding. By far the best Mexico experience we had. The only improvement that could be made is to make the jacuzzis available to kids because you can’t use the jacuzzi if you have to leave your kid unattended elsewhere.
