staff, rooms, food and overall resort was great. my only issue with the food was the lack of reservations for the specialty restaurants. it would run smoother if reservations were required. Also, the music at the parties and pool was horrible. they definitely cater to a specific crowd but this is still mexico so we expected more spanish music.

The view from the pool/beach was amazing. We upgraded to elite club, provably should have saved that expense. Perks of elite lacked in perks… Food was mediocre, definitely no salt or pepper was used, had to add lime juice to sea bass just for flavor. Bed was not very comfortable and room was hard to cool. Ventilation system and plumbing needs to be checked. For an all adult property the lack of late night options for entertainment and food was disappointing. Not sure I would return for anything but the views.

I will say this resort is beautiful and the views are spectacular but the food wasn’t the best as well as the alcoholic beverages were super watered down. I did feel like they do prioritize other guest before minorities. There was also a roach in one of my families rooms. When we arrived we weren’t greeted with any drinks but others were. The views were nice but it’s definitely false advertising on Expedia as far as the ocean view because that’s only the side of the hotel if you want full ocean view you have to get the premium rooms. Other than that staff was friendly and worked in a timely manner.
