The moment you enter the reception you enter a beautiful and amazing place. There's this almost 40 meter tall "palapa", and from there you have a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean.

Everything is perfect, from the floor to the walls -- just great! The beds are wonderful – I wish I could bring one home! And there's so much to say about the pillows. . . My unit didn't have a Jacuzzi (we were in a seventh floor one-bedroom suite), but I noticed that the studios have Jacuzzis. They showed us around and all the units are very nice. There's a three-bedroom unit that would sleep 12 and has a 12-person Jacuzzi on the terrace! It's just great. The location is more adult-oriented, but still is a good option for the whole family. The garden is a very nice place for relaxation and meditation. Excellent ambience and if you want to have fun visit the Lobby Bar. There is a band that plays and everybody can have fun there. Nearby there is a mall and golf courses. The staff is very helpful and they make you feel at home. I really want to go back and enjoy the spa, the beautiful pool and why not. . . have a good drink at the pool. It's a really nice place. Don't even think about it, just grab your partner and go there.

Nice...
Just great! Everything is delicious (we tried several nights), and so well served. The wine options are not that great, but still you can try the rosé. Desserts are not as good as they can be. Ask for the tableside coffee.

Nightlife at the ZooBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Nightlife"

at The Zoo
Make tracks to the Zoo for dancing and fun all night long. Feeding time at the Zoo means drinks and sandwiches while you watch the animal parade along the Malecon during the afternoon. Then hang out there in the evening for great music, dancing, and drinks till dawn!
