The hotel, grounds, beach area and pools are very nice with some lovely views. We had an ocean front room that was always kept exceptionally clean and had a great view of the ocean. The sound of the waves was very relaxing. Pools were nice and never a problem getting loungers. There were some weddings at the resort and certain dining options were unavailable being used for a private meal by the wedding party and guests. The influx of guests also made getting a table at the beach restaurant entailed a long wait. No such problems were encountered when they left. Food was average for the resort. Breakfast at El Arroyo was always good and the staff were excellent. Dinner at Saltwater was hit and miss depending on choices, although it was a lovely place to eat with some live music and a fabulous view. You can also eat at the Dreams resort that is a $5 uber ride away. be sure to try the French restaurant there This is a very laid back and quiet resort, although construction noise made us move to another area for two days
