Everything and everyone was top both. Concierge Diana fantastic. Manuel pool waiter was fantastic. Not one bad experience at this resort. Best one we’ve been to and we’ve been to many. Our room was a swim out, very nice. The food was great. Pool atmosphere quiet and friendly.

This was our second trip to the resort and it delivered again. As always, the service throughout the hotel is fantastic. In particular, Bramdon and his beach and pool concierge teams do a brilliant job.

This was our second trip to the resort and it delivered again. As always, the service throughout the hotel is fantastic. In particular, Bramdon and his beach and pool concierge teams do a brilliant job. Bramdon would check-in each day and helped manage the pool volume etc. Likewise, Veronica at the El Patio restaurant arranged for us to have an off-menu Mexican tasting dinner which was delicious. Our swim-out room was beautiful and very clean, we appreciated the turn down service in particular. The grounds and facilities are well-maintained and I’m sure about to be even better once the renovation work is finished. The drinks service is quick across the various bars but the hotel should be using premium brand alcohol, although the bottles were displayed cocktails and drinks were routinely made using the below counter bottles.

We recently returned to this hotel to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The hotel and staff were lovely as always. The resort is spotlessly clean, despite the renovation work currently being carried out. The only negative was the seaweed situation which changes daily but was particularly bad this year. This is obviously out of their control and the team do a heroic of job of trying to keep the beach as clear as possible. There were a few members of staff who helped to make our stay extra special Marcelo - our room concierge (block 16) Manuel - Beach Concierge Marco & Manuel - Beach waiters Margerita & Gabriella - Preferred Club Nothing is ever too much trouble.

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Top tier resort where just the standard level experience is already high...no "preferred" upgrade needed!

Jul 19, 2025 Mccabe Y

Great resort. Definitely top tier. I rate them to a higher level then other resorts because the expectation is so high. My opinion...preferred club isn't worth it at this resort. At least not while I stayed there. We have friends that traveled without upgrading to preferred and their experience was the same...if not better.
