    Great vacation

    It was a great experience , we have zero complaints. The barcy kids club was absolutely wonderful, our son did not want to leave. Zaira. Sarahi and Susana were very kind and attentive with our 5 year old! Our favorite restaurant was the Santa Fe steakhouse , everything was delicious, especially the lamb chops and the staff was on top of everything ! We will definitely come back.

    Fantastic resort

    The a la carte restaurants were so much better than other resorts. The place is huge, beautiful and clean. June was the best month as it’s not overrun with tourists. Great for families with small children. There is enough shade on the beach under the trees. It was seaweed season but the hotel kept the beach clean. Will definitely come back.
