5/5Very fun and well thought out with lots to do and yummy…
Liked: We loved this resort, would definitely stay again! Our group was 2 adults, 1 four year old, 1 one and a half year old. Stayed for 7 days but would have stayed longer. Our room was on the first floor, patio facing the ocean.

1/5Motel Six with the price of a Dreams Hotel... buyer beware... make sure to read the fine print the "special" is not so…
Liked: I give this hotel one star. My issue was with the fake "special" price $2,267.00 for 4 nights at this hotel is beyond abusive.
-
1/5Not worth the time or…
Liked: We went for a day (9-5), and paid through the roof for it. In addition to over $900 pesos for the day pass which included food and drink, we had to (no option not to do this) pay over 300 pesos for towel rental even though we didn't need towels.
