larry, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unbelievably clean grounds. Beautiful landscaping. Could always find a lounge chair at pool or beach. Very friendly staff that remembered us and made it feel like home. Walking along the beach, the other resorts nearby aren’t as well kept or luxurious. Wish they had 1-2 more restaurant options.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only downside was the dining.Some nights food was cold and other nights waiting for a table was over a 1hour .Maybe a good idea would be a buffet so people with small children have another option and they do not have a long wait for food .
Keith, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is very well maintained and small. The staff are delightful and the beach service is very good. The food is OK but it could be more refined. The options get a bit boring if you are staying for a week or so and the quality could be higher.
Morag, 9-night trip

Excellent service and the facilities are beautiful and well maintained
Nadia Abou, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice resort. Quiet with really good food and friendly service.
William, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The food and service at this resort are absolutely amazing. We didn’t eat a single thing we didn’t like. I read reviews about the beach being a long walk away and was concerned about that but it’s not a long walk at all. If you can’t make the short walk they do have a shuttle but I found it to be a very pretty pleasant 3 minute walk. Highly recommend this resort. The large spacious rooms are incredible as well.
Joshua, 7-night trip

NICE BEECH AREA NOT BUISY WELL LOOKED AFTER
Robert James, 7-night trip

For a all inclusive it is a good property,not to large quieter than most all inclusive with know loud music playing all day and the food was above average for a all inclusive
Neil, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome place to stay in Nice city
Yahya, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super clean and exceptionally well maintained. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding. By far the best Mexico experience we had. The only improvement that could be made is to make the jacuzzis available to kids because you can’t use the jacuzzi if you have to leave your kid unattended elsewhere.
Katerina Nikolaeva, 6-night trip
