The service at this resort was outstanding. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and to make you feel at home. Will definitely return. The shared dining facilities make for a great way to meet new people.
We stayed two nights. The washrooms and showers were very clean and well kept. There were plenty of bbq's for even the busiest of times. Aside from bringing your own food they have everything you could possibly need. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Would definitely consider staying again.

Thank you guys
You made my weekend ♥️♥️
Resort style, but still very peaceful and quiet! Definitely a great experience. I booked for my partners birthday and he already wants to return in September!
This place is AMAZING! It's a beautiful place and the owners were very welcoming. The host, Jen was the nicest person and was very helpful. They made guest feel at home and the atmosphere was relaxing. I highly recommend this place to stay at whether in a room, cabin or camping trip. They have a lounge , private beach , hot tub and bbqs and fire pits. This is a 100 percent a perfect adult get away.
Footprints Resort is a hybrid of a 1960's cabin getaway and a modern beach resort, which can be great or a disappointment, depending on expectations. I thought it was great, even though at the start of the season, to decompress and enjoy the peace and quiet. But if you expect all of the bells and whistles of the Mexican Riviera, this is unlikely to be for you.

We stayed for 3 nights through the week, so not on the weekend. Property was very quiet and nice and relaxing. The Villas are nice and the bed super comfortable housekeeping didnot visit at all. Cooking in the shared kitchen is easy and well stocked. WiFi doesn't work.
Nice Property but not a return visit for us.

THIS IS AN ADULT RESORT!
Did not allowed to check in because I had a kid with me.
My vacation was ruined just because I didnt read through all terms and conditions regarding age restriction in this resort.
This is a major restriction that changes the whole plan and needed to be highlighted clearly.
And of course, no refund is available !
