Check-in was quick and easy. Gave up credit card and got bracelets. Drinks were ordered for us while we sat down with the "Here's what's included" Lady. All-inclusive package explained to our satisfaction in about 5 minutes. Offered a time-share presentation. Politely declined. Offered to us again with about $4-500.00 in freebies. Politely declined. No hard hassle.
Signed up for free snorkel tour. Signed up for horseback ride. Snorkeling very very very bad. Although we had lots of fun with the little speed boats.
Horseback riding was excellent. Quality mounts with great guides. Got to check out some horse royalty at the hacienda. The lunch provided was pretty good. Got to gallop around, helmets optional, didn't have to plod along single file. Highly recommended!
Room given to us was better than what we exchanged for .Bld. 1 bottom floor, great view, very clean, comfortable, large showers, hot water, great water pressure. Mini bar in room. No additional charge. Left note to stock with 12 pak of beer daily. No problem.
Staff friendly, housekeeping excellent, resort grounds clean and manicured, room service included for no extra fee, buffet decent, something for everyone, Italian restaurant very good, lobster dinner not so very good at same restaurant.
Hammocks to lounge in. Plenty of lawn chairs with shade and pads. Nice jacuzzi right up next to lagoon by snack bar. Snack bar has good food, great view.
Pool is a little small. split in 2 sections. Slide to lower level with water volleyball. Upper portion has a swim up bar (with way to many children on their floaties next to mommy and daddy) Sometimes it was really hard to get to the bar. Pool closes at 9:00 pm but the pool bar closes at 4:00. Makes no sense to me.
Free boat ride to sister resort. Leaves about every 20-30 minutes until 4:00. Otherwise free shuttle bus on the hour until 9PM. Royal Sunset pretty happening. Nice beach area. A few vendors. People drinking 2 liter bottles of beer from beer bongs. Way Cool. Didn't have to order drinks from Jauquin(best waiter). He just brought a round every 20 minutes or so. Didn't eat there, but heard the food is better.
We have 3 timeshares and travel alot so we're kinda biased and rate resorts a little harder than we used too. We could probably nit pick about some little minor things but nothing major. We really loved our stay here.
