We stayed here a week family of 4. The resort was very clean and staff extremely friendly. Our only complaints are night life ends early. Music and bars shut down early in our opinion. Only one bar open later and it's in the lobby so a bit of a walk from the dance floor. When it's busy the line up was nuts. Food was good but restaurants werent all open and the menus were a bit confusing. Buffet was always the same spread. Late night tacos were great. The beach is beautiful and the ocean views from rooms are breathtaking. All in all was a good time.

Overall, the resort it’s in good location with good service and good entertainment, separate pools for adults and children. Food is ok and more Mexican dishes than American. They gave us wrong room for 3 nights which was disappointing, when we complained they moved us to room we paid for it.

The hotel was well maintained and clean. The food was good. They had a great little coffee bar where the lattes were excellent. The hotel grounds were attractive. The staff was friendly and helpful. Each seemed to be willing to help with learning Spanish. Our stay overlapped the fallout from El Mencho’s attempted capture and death. While the city burned, the staff still put on brave faces and cared for guests as though nothing was going on. Many could not go home that night. Most worked long hours to cover for others who could not get to work because curfews held them in place. Their commitment and strength was amazing.

The nightly “shows” was a d.j playing music. Food was okay at best and only 1 reservation restaurant was open all week and food was not good so buffet for dinner every night. Cleaning staff often forgot to leave things like hand soap or hand towels if the room got cleaned at all.
