Reviews that mention terrible checkin process are absolutrly correct. We arrived 2 hours before 11am check in and the front deak wanted to charge $80usd to allow us
to check in to the property. We didnt need full access or even food or drinks but wantef to just check out the beach. The front desk person told us to sit on the chairs and not move until 11am. What?! Im on vacation, not on time out. Ultimalely another staff came and told us to enjoy the beach. The check in process was long and included extra resort fees $15usd/room/night. None of this was mentioned in our all inclusive package.
Rooms were clean and large and I think most if not all have ocean views.
The best part of thia resort is the activity staff. Leo, Cesar and Cristian were incredibly fun and made up for the grumpy front desk folks.
Palapas are available if you are up well before 7am. Many folks chain smoke all day under palapas. Gross!
Snorkeling is wonderful and they have free guided tours at 11am.
There is one buffet restaurant and one a la carte. You need to line up before 8am to get an a la carte reservation. Food is fine. There is no night life at this resort. No shows. No bar. Not even a lobby with music. After dinner you can enjoy the beach, go off property or go to bed. Nada. Zilch. Nothing to do.
This is a budget property and it shows. The staff (aside from check in) are incredible and its a very mellow place with almost no rules. Example you can bring food and drink to the beach. 7/10
