The property is in very peaceful and beautiful location. The staff are very welcoming, attentive, and they know how to make you feel right at home. We recommend the rooms with the ocean view. The beach is very well maintained snd the views are amazing!!

“A relaxing spot with decent food for an AI”

We have been to this resort 4 times since discovering it in 2022.

We have been to this resort 4 times since discovering it in 2022. While each year it shows wear and tear it still retains its charm and provides an excellent vacation because of the wonderful staff and the amazing location. The weather, views, and beaches are amazing. If the ocean is calm, you can swim and snorkel to the left side of the bay. The water is warm and clear. We stayed in a preferred club swim out room in building 6 which was great although the shower floor is weird and doesn’t feel hygienic and the bed mattress in need of replacement. That being said the housekeeping staff and fridge replenishment staff were excellent – I wish I remembered their names to mention them here. The food has improved each year. We do the preferred club so we can have access to the Castaways outdoor restaurant for breakfast and enjoy beautiful calm mornings with an ocean view. Castaways is our favorite restaurant for relaxing vibes. The staff here really stand out. We had a special seafood meal prepared here and it was honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten. Seafood in a lovely white wine garlic sauce stuffed in a pineapple. Coming here every day for breakfast, sometimes lunch and dinner provided some really lovely meals, and relaxation. Being greeted by Ivonne and Stefany every morning was a highlight for me. Heidi, Gabriela, Ruben, Adilene, Rodrigo, Sergio, Alexis, Erick, and Chef Gabriel were amazing all week with their friendliness, and attentive service. At the teppanyaki restaurant Spice we had Santiago as our chef. He provided an amazing show that was also comedic. The food was good too! We only ate at the buffet a couple of times, but Valencia makes the best omelets! One day they made fish and shrimp tacos at the pool for lunch which was excellent. Drinks are good. The table white and rose wines are drinkable and I especially enjoyed a chilled wine at lunch at castaways on many occasions. My favorite bartender was Isaul, who used to be a beach server and remembered us even though we hadn’t been there in 2 years. My favorite cocktails are margaritas on the rocks, espresso martinis, and mudslides. He does them well! The activity team is great. Daniel, who has been there for years is such a lovely young man and always remembers us. Alejandro is so energetic and funny. We enjoyed silly games at the pool and pickle ball. There is a new fellow there, I do not recall his name, but he was great at managing the pool volleyball games and also very friendly. The gym has a beautiful view. It is small. By the end of the week half of the cardio equipment was out of service. There are many stairs at this resort so you can get cardio by walking loops up and down stairs and along the beach. I used the free weights here to get some workouts in. We didn’t see any of the shows this time but enjoyed some live music at the sky bar. Chocolate pastel is a fun cover band and always gets the crowd dancing. We did a couple of short-day trips. We went to playa la entrega and were sad to see the health of the coral here has declined since first going in 2024. It gets VERY busy by mid-day here. It is fun to sit at a beach bar with all the locals though. It is a very different experience from the resort. We also went to the ruins down the road. It is a short walk through the jungle and small ruins. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility and views of la boscana river and beach, as well as birds, lizards, and snakes. We went into town at night and dined at la crema and Terra cotta. La crema has very good pizza and reasonably priced wine by the bottle. There was a market in the zocalo and we picked up a few souvenirs that were reasonably priced. I recommend this resort but with the caveat that it is due for a refresh of the pool, room furniture and showers.

The room amenities were amazing, great room service, a lot of activities, many different pools to choose from, excellent food in all restaurants good shows and music; but being in Mexico would have preferred more Latin music. At the beach excellent drinks service, delicious custom made pizza, one of the best paella and fresh ceviche. The last great meal was a Lobster and Bubbles Romantic Dinner at the beach and the dinner service provided by Julian was excellent.

“Just an ok stay”

It was just a very average stay. Some resturants were very good others were terrible. The room was again just average. This was our third stay at the resort. Was not as good a stay as the other two stays.
