I loved the location, and the view from our balcony was spectacular. We were on the 10th level. Our room was very nice and the entire resort including our room was spotless, especially the washrooms. I enjoyed the pool on the 7th level. Also, breakfast was really nice in the 7th level restaurant. You could enjoy the wonderful view overlooking the ocean and it was nice watching and listening to the birds during breakfast. It's the coolest time of day to get things done. The staff were very friend[... read more]ly and helpful. The beach was nice. They do need more beach chairs to go around. They have a small beach access and lots of people spent their time right on the beach. I think this allowed people to mix and mingle which was nice with a beach bar and washrooms close by. Did I say the washrooms were spotless? Absolutely!
We went to town twice for dinner in the evening. We also went to two different beaches by cab to snorkel, swim and have lunch. The food at the resort was okay. Some food was cold in the pans in the buffett. I found we had breakfast and lunch on the 7th level and dinner at the buffet. During our stay the resort was occupied by a lot of Mexican families. We had a very positive experience meeting and vacationing with Mexican's. They are very family oriented, quiet and very friendly always happy to chat a bit and help us with our spanish. The best part....they didn't smoke! I would definitely come back to this resort because you get good value for the price, the friendly staff, cleanliness and view.
