Loved it! The hotel is Beautiful and peacefull, the staff is extremely nice, the suites have everything you might need, my little one really enjoyed the swimming pool and we also did without concern, the Beach was also really nice. The only thing you might need to consider and we didn’t know is the last 20kms or so the Road is unpaved. We didn’t love the food but it’s OK (they were out of avocados and mushrooms and we ordered dishes with those ingredients, but no one told is until it was served incomplete) and you have microwave and fridge so take that in count.

Paradise

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The staff was always smiling and happy to help. They called our unit a garden view, but we were totally facing the ocean. All the units face the ocean, some are just a little farther up the hill. It made for an even better view from the hammock on the balcony. Even with the windows closed at night we could hear the ocean. Thank you Azul Ocean Club for the wonderful stay :)
