We had a great time. Our room was wonderful - were paid extra for the upgrade. In addition to a better room, the upgrade gets you free calls to US and internet in a special lounge; special check-in; and dinner reservations every night. We found the food really good; we didn't struggle to find something to eat - lots of options. There are always things you don't like (at home too), but overall there were no worries there. And, the drinks were good and easily available; we had no trouble getting what we wanted and had no concerns with getting sick. The resort is really beautiful and is perfect for relaxing. It is clean and well maintained. We enjoyed watching the beach from our balcony deck each morning. The pools are nice and they have fun activities planned. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is going out to Los Arcos (huge rocks about 10 minute boat ride from hotel) with the on-site dive shop - very choppy water (major motion sickness) and seemed a bit unsafe (i.e. lots of running boats around with propellars right by your head - yikes!!)

Staff/service (particularly X) excellent, best beds we've had in Mexico, and if we'd have been to this resort before we'd been to other upscale AI, we'd have liked it, but after visiting RIU Palace and other Palace properties, the food and liquor selection and this hotel is less than expected. They have additional charges if you want the upgraded food/booze selections. The only other major complaint is although they have a large, clean children's play area and pool (with water slide), kids constantly invaded the adult pool and monopolized the swim-up bar seats and just generally being kids -- the things they should have been doing in their own pool! The resort was asked by several of us to enforce the rules but failed to.

I always stayed away from All-Inclusive resorts not wanting to miss out on the color and experiences of the area. This time we opted for All_inclusive as we just wanted to relax & not run around. This resort made it VERY worth our while. The food was very good, plentiful and varied. Something for everyone's taste. There were choices other than the buffet restaurant for lunch & dinner. Our room was very comfortable & clean. The pool area was beautiful and service was great.
There are several nice boutiques on the property, a variety of tours available as well as hotel sponsored activities, if that is what you like. Twice a week vendors are invited to setup their tables and there is no high pressure like there is is some of the town markets.
Only the beach area was a dissappointment. It was very small and damaged by a previous hurricane although they are working to improve this.
This resort is not in the PV hotel zone which can be overcome with cruise ship passengers and to us this was a big plus.

Service terrible, Food terrible, rooms not cleaned regulerly. I realized why I dont like all-inclusive hotels. You pay first then you are left on your own. I would not recomend this hotel if a person or family wants to be pampered or given your money's worth. Dont let the pics of this hotel fool you!!!! Not want is presented!!!!

This hotel by far exceeded any of my expectations. The service, the food, and atmosphere was outstanding. Every corner of the room was spotless and new. The grounds were constantly maintained. The service staff was beyond helpful. There never was a worry about getting sick on drinking that water or eating the food. The restaurants were excellent and the food was great. The pools, (all 4 of them) were very clean and well kept. There was plenty to do for the kids also. I definitely will go back.
