Staff was great my only complaints was: 1. the water sports always seemed to have a reason they where not available. I tried for 3 days and could not get on. Either they full(but no one was on them as I watched all day). 2. The cigarette butts all over the beach and walk ways wasnt very appealing. One of the dirtiest beaches I have seen in mexico when it comes to cigarette butts. 3. Rest of the stsy was great with kind people and decent food.

The buffet was ok, not great. The Black Cow was disappointing. The service was kind but slow and steak was not good. After that experience, we just stuck to the buffet. The pool closed too early. So, we ended up going to the beach but would have preferred to go to the pool.

We are a family of four with two teenagers. We stayed over Christmas and loved our stay. We travel a lot and this one will be my favorite. This is a large resort so yes walking is necessary but not horrible if you can get around. We took the ferry to the hotel 45 minutes then a taxi to the hotel. I give the hotel a 9 in everything. It’s clean, the food is great, the beach is beautiful and clean. Staff goes out of their to help and friendly. Lots of activities or you can chill at the pools and they have four to choose from. I have no complaints and would recommend. If I had to give one critique it was the entertainment. It was nice but dated. This hotel had a younger audience and the shows were more for a much older audience. The show was great if you were 60 plus. Again not a deal breaker but it lost a lot of people. The sports bar is fun, pool tables, snacks, and tvs for sports. You won’t be disappointed here! Just remember you need to walk here. Wheelchairs and family members who may have troubles walking would struggle.
