Gorgeous with meh food and spotty service.

Casitas and property is stunning! Rooms are clean and comfortable. We went with kids age 10 and 8 and they loved the pool and our room. Only areas for improvement are: 1) staffing the family pool during the week, not just the weekend. It's a SPENDY place to not have somebody taking lunch and drink orders at the pool. We had to dial in the order and wait a fairly long time to get it. 2) Food is VERY mediocre, and of course incredibly over-priced for what it is. 3) The amount of plastic water bottles used is a little embarrassing; seems they could get with the eco-program and find a better way to do this without all the waste. Hoping that the ramp-up after COVID may bring the service and food program up a notch. I'd need that to return at this price tag!

Our new favorite indulgence

Where to begin ... our first introduction to the Resort was at the guard gate. The gentleman greeted us with a Happy Birthday Mr .... - I had informed them it was my husband’s bday weeks ago when I made the reservation for his birthday dinner. After we were escorted to our beautiful villa (with Bday surprises throughout), I realized I had forgotten to pack a round brush to style my hair. I contacted the front desk and after searching the spa, gift shops, etc they concluded (with my help) that they did not have a brush that would satisfy my style needs :) ... but low and behold ... a round brush appeared in my room. They had sent someone to the local CVS (?) to buy one for me. This attention to detail and constant pampering continued throughout our stay: ice pops made with fresh fruit AND chilled watermelon delivered poolside, fresh squeezed OJ with newspaper of your choice delivered each morning, fabulous food and service at both onsite restaurants, outstanding pool service and well- equipped gym, a massage that began with a luxurious down comforter and ended with a wellness-shot of green goodness, spa robes that felt like the a billowy cotton cloud... the ONLY thing that would have improved our stay was a makeup mirror for my old, failing eyes... but I’m sure if I had asked, it would have appeared on the counter in our villas’ palatial bathroom.
Fresh Fruit Ice Pops Delivered Poolside
Happy Bday wishes abound
And miraculously a round brush appears 😉
