Resort Experience:
This resort has an extremely unique environment that I really enjoyed, but I can see that it wouldn't appeal to everyone. We actually stayed at the Aventura Spa Palace and spent 1 day at the Xpa-Ha Palace. We went snorkeling in the lagoon and saw lots of fish and a stingray. We would like to have gone snorkeling and kayaking in the other lagoon but didn't have time. We rode bikes around the resort and visited the animals, the pools, and the beach. We spent some time lying out at the beach, checked out a mat that you could use to bob and float in the water (very nice), and took a walk down the beach to see some of the other resorts. We also had lunch here, which was very similar to the lunch buffet at our resort.
We peaked in a room, and it also looked similar to our room at the Aventura Spa Palace. There was a king-size bed and a double Jacuzzi tub elevated so that you could see out the window while soaking. They have very nice-sized balconies with a hammock and lounge chairs (much bigger balcony that ours at Aventura).
The resort is a bunch of "huts" that have been placed within the jungle environment. It is not at all manicured, but tucked in amongst the thick foliage and trees. It feels kind of like you're in the middle of the jungle and all the buildings are made to look like huts. It's also considered an eco-park, so you can visit monkeys, wild cats, alligators, flamingos, and birds (giant aviary).
