Beautiful property! Good Beach. The bar and restaurant staff are incredible. The front desk staff-not so much. Food is good, but more variety would be better. The buffet gets boring as it’s the same thing all the time.

Luis, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Located on a beach and close to shopping and restaurants, yet inside the resort with separate huts with palapa roofs one will feel like being inside mini hungle. Nice beach area with comfortable soft lounge chairs, sofas and cushions. Nice buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. However, lunch is by menu only and always the same selection. Tacos and guacamole are good, the rest is so-so.

The only complaint I have is with the dinner food at the buffet. Never ate lunch there so I can’t speak to that. Breakfast was pretty good. Dinner was not good, I recommend eating at Fuego or off the resort.
