The resort was clean. I really enjoyed the Friday night neon party. Beach access, however the beach chairs were dirty. Several restaurants onsite. However, you need to go early for dinner to several restaurants to obtain seating. Staff were professional and friendly. Several pools and water park ...

La comida es espectacular, realmente uno de los puntos más fuertes del hotel. La atención del personal y los tragos son buenos, aunque en lo personal no me agradó el uso excesivo de plásticos. El mar no es nada del otro mundo: al estar en el Pacífico, las olas son fuertes y el agua es oscura. Además, ...

9/10 Wonderful! (110 reviews)
The room was very clean with a beautiful view (36 Carlota). The beach access is second to none. It is meant to replicate some sort of italian town near the sea. In some ways it does do that. The service at the restaurants was spotty at times and the food is uninspiring. Better food can be found in ...
