Hotel: 4 out of 5 star Pros: Nice hotel in the north hotel zone. Clean area inside and outside. Pool/Ocean area we had no problems getting a lounge chair or getting a drink. Due to it not being all inclusive you wont deal with the drunk buffoons. Ocean was a good place to snorkel with plenty of fish/sealife in the area Cons: A bit far from town, 1.5 miles/2.4 km so 15-20 min walk or 100 peso cab ride. They do not have a complimentary shuttle bus or city buses in that area. We just rented scooters for the week which cost about double what the taxi rides would have cost. The pool was on the cold side 23c/75F which was very noticeable compared to the ocean temperature. They don't have a beach, you climb out via a ladder and the ocean is about 15ft deep when you get in. Restaurant and bar are closed at 5 which is very early compared to the rest of the area. Room: 3 out of 5 star Pros: Nice room, bed was comfortable with a reasonable amount of space in the room for the price. Bathroom was large with stand up shower and sink. plenty of room for 2 people to live comfortably for 7 days Cons: No fridge! you need to ask if they have one available at the front desk (they had one available for us). If they do it is free of charge but as it is not all inclusive and we were making breakfast and lunch as well as keeping drinks cold a fridge was needed. The hot water in the shower was very strange. it would go from ice cold to scalding hot back and forth every 30 seconds if you didn't get the dials within a 1/4in of the sweet spot Staff: 4.5 out of 5 stars Pros: Friendly staff, they helped us with every single thing we asked for. Lobby, cleaning, bar and concierge staff were all helpful if you asked we asked for something. I forgot to pay the bar bill one day and they were not rude about it at all. A few of them were very direct without a phony smile on there face but were still helpful when needed. I honestly cant understand why some trip advisor posts had directly said they were rude. Cons: None Cleanliness: 5 out of 5 Pros: Room, Lobby, Pool area not once did i come across any area that wasn't clean. i didn't use the public bathrooms so i cant say but our room was cleaned everyday, the maid even cleaned our dishes for us which i was not expecting Cons: None Food: N/A We never ate at the restaurant as we purchased what we needed. The bar was good, prices more expensive then other places and much higher then buying from the store. If you do decide to buy your own food and alcohol go to Mega for Walmart type items (generic items) or the Chedraui if you want groceries (specific items). Prices are around 30-40% cheaper for a lot of items then prices in Canada, so probably 60% cheaper for our Yank neighbors and both stores were comparable in pricing

The hotel was right on the ocean and it was kept in absolutely sparkling clean condition. The staff were helpful and very courteous at all times. The Town Centre was a short cab ride south and the Golf Course was a short cab ride north. Having the unlimited golf and the clubs supplied meant only having to bring along a pair of golf shoes, a couple of gloves and some balls. Bring your own clubs if you wish but the ones supplied were sufficient. There is a scuba/snorkelling shop on site at the hotel that has excursions and rents equipment, and the boat leaves directly from the hotel waterfront. No long cab rides to another location.
