2.5/5
Liked: The location is great, also the facilities. The food at the buffet is great, specially the Mexican night.
Heads-up for parents: The transportation inside the resort needs to improve, we were informed that we should have "buses" every 10 min, but it not happened.

3.5/5
Liked: Kids Club is very good and the guys are making it very well.
Watch out: The hotel is very large, and the distances between the beach, lobby, and buffet are quite long. The golf carts are not always available.
