Delicious Food Options

“I loved the variety of dining options available. From the casual beachside lunch at Chayita with fresh taco bowls to the amazing dining experiences at the Brazilian Fogo restaurant, I was truly impressed.

Overall, I had a lovely stay at the resort. The staff was incredibly friendly and always eager to help, which made the experience enjoyable. I really appreciated the efforts they made to keep the beach clear of seaweed. However, the dining options were hit-or-miss, and I found the spacing of the resort a bit inconvenient during hot days. Walking from one area to another felt exhausting, especially when there's only one shuttle available.

I recently spent a week at this resort and had a mix of experiences. The location was fantastic, right by the beach with beautiful views. The cleanliness of the rooms was commendable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and eager to help. However, the dining options were somewhat repetitive and lacking variety, and the constant sales pitches detracted from the overall relaxation. Despite that, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the effort the staff put into making it special.

The beach here is simply stunning, and the service I experienced was top-notch, particularly from some standout staff members. However, there were a few hiccups with food reservations and some rooms that could've been better. Still, the overall experience made it worthwhile, and I can't wait to return.
