"We loved our stay, the resort is beautiful. Staff were so lovely, shout out to Diego, Vanessa, Esteban, Ruben, & our server at the Ostra pool! Such a wonderful place! - Mandy & Devan"

"I absolutely adore this property and will definitely be coming back! I feel it had everything I needed without needed to ever leave. The shuttle service was amazing, the beach you could walk to (but the shuttle will take you). They had a restaurant on the property, and a restaurant right across from the main entrance. A mini market by the beach. Pools, bars, jacuzzis. The rooms were very clean. I felt safe. I even took a few Ubers when I left the property. The view is sooo amazing. To wake up to that every morning was the highlight. The resurgent is also overlooking the view. It was such a peaceful and resetting vacation, with all you need to have a good time. The bed is my only con, it was very hard and stiff. But, I am still planning to come back!! For sure! Would recommend. Don’t think twice! And book a room facing the beach! It makes the entire trip worthwhile! "

"Food, rooms, and staff were excellent. The Lagoon black sand beach is great because of the shallow and very clear water. The restaurant supervisor, Christian, and our host Gabriela, and, the Italian restaurant head for our family table were superb. The spa experience was much below average. "

"The staff was really good. Very friendly and professional, spoke excellent English. Our family with mid to late teens felt very safe on the grounds. Lots of really fun amenities. The food was really good and had lots of varieties. "

"I like the swing in room."

"really friendly staff, beautiful area. "

"This property is absolutely gorgeous. I was disappointed in the management of the the property. Arriving guests had to wait a long time to check In and to get simple questions answered. They never answered the phones at all. The property is huge so you have to walk a lot but they have shuttles that never seemed to come to our building. They have limited towels and the food was horrible. There were very limited food choices and it was bland to taste. We tried the specialty dinning and the food was not good at all. We had to check out early due to having to drive 3 hours to another airport. The attendant would not let us exit without a piece of paper and this caused us to travel late during the night. If the lines weren’t so long we should have just been able to leave. I would not stay here again unless they made a lot of changes to their iteniary. "
