"Staff made the stay for sure! Miriam and Jorge especially :) The beachside and poolside bars and snack bars were awesome. Wish there was wifi in all of the rooms, and the buffet could have used more pico de gallo/guacamole and chip appetizer options. Definitely reserve a night at the a la carte restaurant (the black bean cream soup was the best soup I have potentially ever had) at the host station first thing weekday mornings, that was a wonderful dining experience. Good value for your money and...

"The food is good, lots of options for salads, fruits, ect, lacking meat options! The staff in the beach and pool area are fantastic as well the lunch restaurant by the pool was excellent! The only real disappointment was at the adults only area! The staff was snobby/rude, went there for lunch once, we didn't get a drink! Noone even acknowledged us, obviously didn't return to that area! Proble wont return because we prefer renting something on its own and eating at little restaurants intown! "
