What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I had an amazing time dining at the Mexico Lindo restaurant during my stay. The service was great, and the servers Salvador and Clemente provided an excellent dining experience. The food was delicious, and when I requested my steak to be cooked a little more, it was done without any hesitation. This attention to detail made for a truly nice meal.

My family and I had an interesting stay at this resort. The beach was nice and private, and we were never scrambling for loungers. The facilities themselves were spacious, but several aspects needed improvement, particularly the check-in process and dining options, which were underwhelming. Overall, while we had a great time enjoying the activities, the management of certain services left much to be desired.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While the resort had beautiful grounds and a lovely beach, the check-in process was frustrating as our booking was initially misplaced.

7.0/10

I had high hopes for this resort, especially after booking a room for myself and my friends, but the check-in process was a nightmare, lasting five hours without food or water. While the rooms were clean and spacious, I encountered issues with the bed arrangements that left us feeling uncomfortable. The staff were pleasant, but the responsiveness to our concerns was lacking. Dining was decent but not extraordinary. Overall, I won't be returning due to the numerous avoidable issues we faced during our stay.

While the check-in process was quite lengthy and not very welcoming, our overall experience was delightful with delicious dining options and plenty of activities for the family.
