This was our first time at this resort. And I should preface this with, we are NOT members of the Villa group. I chose this resort for the Lazy River. It did not disappoint! The river was awesome! We opted for the all-inclusive option. I thought it was a great deal, considering the a la carte prices for the on-site restaurants -- which were FAR better than any all-inclusive food I've ever encountered!
The infinity pool was incredible. I've seen infinity pools before, but this one topped them all! I had loaded up on books for my vacation, as I enjoy reading by the pool. Didn't even finish one! Way to much to look at! The WHALES just off the beach stole the show! And Marcos ( the pool server) was always nearby to take your order!
Plenty of activities! From the daily Aqua Aerobics (Manuel was great!) to the power walk thru the lazy river in the OPPOSITE direction. FUN!! and NOT easy!
Of course the perfect weather had something to do with it!
The ONLY downside was that with the all-inclusive option, you still had to wait around to 'sign' for your bill (even tho it was $0). And since not everyone was A-I, there wasn't any just 'grab-n-go' food (or coffee). Everything had to be signed for - even the drinks by the pool. That was too much. Couldn't just leave when you were ready - Had to wait to sign.
But overall, the resort completely exceeded our expectations. From the easy check-in process to the check-out. And the push to tour/join/buy was Not the hard sell that I was anticipating.
Just a perfect vacation!
OH - suggestion....if you want a lounger near the infinity pool, be sure to be out there BEFORE sunrise! If you're not, you'll have to choose a different pool. But no worries, there are lots to choose from!
