A great family friendly atmosphere with a really nice stretch of beach. Two free form pools form a lagoon that create a great main pool with a separate area for kids. Plenty of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't miss the Hacienda Dona Isabel, the commercial and entertaiment center of the complex.
What I wish I
could change:
The hotel is about an hour from the airport but once you arrive you'll see it was worth the drive.
Why YOU should
go:
Riviera Maya - a different vacation experience every day of your trip....culture, one of a kind sightseeing, local handicrafts, clubs.....
