Perfect Anniversary Weekend
We really enjoyed our stay and made our anniversary very special. The pampered us at every corner and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Our butlers Julio and Armando made all the arrangements so we always had what we needed. Our concierge Reyna gave us a beautiful welcome and always stayed in touch for our golf arrangements and entertainment. Our bartender in the lobby, Brandor always made us delicious cocktails, and made sure the party was always going.

I felt like a Princess
I felt like a Princess the moment I entered the hotel until my husband and I left. I can’t say enough good things about our butlers, Armando, Julio, our maids Jennifer and Mayra, the far back omelette chef at the buffet, and fun servers, they were all happy and helpful souls. The food from each restaurant was amazing and the service prompt and friendly. Each restaurant has vegan options. They were accommodating and even brought us cotton for our ears when we became sensitive to sound. At the beach we were approached by a pushy person and the staff member was quick to help and get security. They were professional and gave us tips on how to prevent another situation like it. The entire hotel is well cared for, furnished and high end. The show we got to see, showing their cultural dances, was entertaining, fun and we could see how much fun the staff had putting it together. I think they all enjoyed working there and that made a world of a difference. There are lots of activities and attractions on the hotel ground, there is no need to leave the grounds. There are the wetlands, orchard garden, bird viewing area, and so much more. They would even drive you around if needed. Of course the beach was breath taking. The excursions that purchased from them also had guides that were as attentive to detail and provided the care we saw at the hotel. Again they made sure we were not unreasonable bothered and would help us get away from bothersome people. Although we went during the end or raining season, it rained at night and the rain showers were quick, did not ruin our trip at all. I can’t say enough good things. I have been to other resorts in other countries and this one is by far the best one I have been to. If I had any negative thing to say is that smoking is allowed ( and I am reaching far for this). They have a cigar store where people can sit and smoke, buy cigars. It’s part of their service and although we don’t smoke it hardly bothered us. The ducks can get loud and noisy but they are wildlife. They have a resident cat, who does not have a name. If you are particular about your toiletries( shampoo, conditioner, lotion) bring your own. Toothpaste is not provided but mouthwash is. Highly recommend this resort.
