Best vacations in Mexico so far. The hotel is somewhat small but it is very convenient to get to one place to the other - the lobby, the coffee shop, the a la carte restaurants, the pool and the beach are all a short walking distance from each other. The food is top notch, always a great variety and delicious, the drinks are amazing (thanks to Carlos making the best drinks at night in the lobby). Not to forget our amazing beach waiter Daniel, always smiling, attentive and quick. The entertainment staff is fun, enjoyable, likable and always nice. Shoutout to Piero most of all and Sebastian. They do the absolute best to make our time worthwhile. The rooms are beautiful, always kept clean, although we encountered an issue, we were instantly upgraded. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and the beach is the cleanest I’ve ever seen. No wonder people get married here. A must. Read less

The resort is great, everything is within a walkable distance even with a knee injury. The food is very good, I recommend the shrimp taco at Oceana! The employees are very nice, always smiling. The employees taking care of the entertainment are great and dynamic! The only negative points I have to mention are that we had requested a 2 beds room and we were given a king size bedroom and weren't able to switch, the other negative point is that the rooms were not super clean, they did not clean up everyday and the cleaning was very superficial, they also refilled the fridge only once or twice during our stay. Thank you for the great vacation! Read less
