Amazing Resort
Last time I looked, this site didn't have any current reviews of this property. Let me change that. I just got off the plane from 4 days there and will look at booking next year and perhaps buying a resale timeshare...that's how great it was!
The grounds are spectacular, and you forget how poor the surrounding people/country are. Most of the people building this place make $5-$15 per day! Yikes...I sort of feel guilty...but not that much. A few margaritas helps cushion the pain.
The pool is the best in Mexico. Clean...warm...HUGE....and plenty to do. They have activities most of the day...just like a cruise ship. The staff speaks English, although we spoke Spanish to everyone.
The rooms are amazing....our suite was massive and the views are all ocean, so you won't be looking at the mountains.
They are building a new health club, but you can work out and take classes.
We were certain that we wouldn't fall for the timeshare speech, but we wanted the free money and breakfast, so we went. We almost bought on the spot! Of course, I went on-line that night and saw I could buy a two year old timeshare there for less than half the price. Since you get 30 years of life in a timeshare, we think the resale market is a better buy.
Unique Quality: The food and water was all safe, even in Mazatlan, provided you don't buy from carts. In fact, the food at this resort was outstanding...for presentation and amount, and a B for taste.
The service is exceptional throughout the resort!!!!! Everybody is friendly and accomodating.
We left the kids at home, but will bring them next time. They have a kid's club and plenty for them to see and do....even if they swim all day!
We both walked away trying to find major negatives and not being able to do so, came up with two minor ones. I guess the one negative is at night, this place reminded us of Turtle Bay in Hawaii.....quiet and not much to do. Fortunately, the hotel provides an hourly shuttle to their other hotel near downtown Mazatlan, where you hop on a cheap taxi and explore the city. By the way, we walked all over and found it safe and the people warm and friendly.
The second is the ocean....very rough and tough to swim in. Well...the pool is so inviting I didn't miss it that much!
This was a great way to recharge the batteries...what a great resort!!!
