This resort was outstanding. Absolutely anything you want or need is at your fingertips. I even hopped on the iPad and ordered specific pillows upon arrival. The grounds were immaculate. I liked that this is a small resort and very walkable. Our favorite restaurant was probably the seafood one. I can’t recall the name. We also had an amazing lunch daily at the restaurant specifically for vacation club members. The staff were all welcoming and thoughtful. Efrain, in particular, went above and beyond to help ensure we had a romantic getaway. The only con to this trip was sickness on the very last night. I’m not sure if the ice isn’t filtered there or if water was consumed via brushing our teeth. But each of us got sick at least once while there. The old saying “don’t drink the water in Mexico” is quite true. Take precautions while there! Read less
