The service and food were outstanding! Jorge and Willy were our favorite servers at the restaurant. We never had a bad meal. The beach and pool area are wonderful. The room was clean and the shower unforgettable! The new is spectacular. We all got the water treatment at the spa and returned new people. We had hoped for more dining options close to the hotel but there weren't many. So we ended up eating most of our meals at the property.
