What a great stretch of beach! I tended to spend my mornings on the beach, so watching the sun rise taking an early AM walk here is incredible. Next was the Fitness Center to try and make room for the afternoon snacks and drinks! Then I would usually hang by one of the huge swimming pools, or stop by the warm water jacuzzi (I know it's already hot outside, but prefer the hot jacuzzis). Resort has a great kids club which will keep them busy all day. A la carte restaurants were excellent, especially El Agave! With 6 all inclusive bars, you can find a late night watering spot to catch up on blackberry emails very easily!
What I wish I
could change:
The property is big but offers lots offers so much for every member of the family. Options like these can't be housed in anything smaller.
Why YOU should
go:
A great getaway option for active travelers, their friends and families. The Barcelo complex is also located so you can take advantage of the many optional excursions availalbe in the Riviera Maya.
