Fabulous Retreat!!!
Our vacation at this fabulous retreat was better than expected and certainly agree with previous reviews of this hotel. The service was outstanding in all areas (except maybe the French restaurant where they dropped the ball at the end), but the staff is friendly, call you by name and will do anything to make sure you are happy and comfortable. Our suite was gorgeous, with a sun bed on the huge patio just a few yards from the ocean. The only issue we had was the tipping. The hotel was to be all-inclusive, but the Mexican restaurant left room for a tip. When we asked at the front desk about this, they said we could tip if we want. That was uncomfortable for us, because we were not sure what to do. Make sure to take plenty of sunscreen as you can be fooled at the end of the day at the pool bar :) If you want to absolutely relax and be pampered ............THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! ENJOY!
Do not get the $64 transfer from airport to hotel. It’s much cheaper to pay for cabs both ways!!! We do recommend "swimming with the dolphins", which is an added package. Puerto Vallarta is a 20 minute cab ride; also a nice getaway if you chose to leave the site.

Quality Hotel
We had a suite that included a 2nd story terrace with a jacuzzi. The views are unbelievable. We really enjoyed the food in their dining restaurants. The only downside is that you have to dress up to get in. My husband showed up in shorts and flip-flops and they wouldn’t sit us. However, they did let him borrow a pair of pants and didn’t mention anything about his flip-flops...go figure. Overall very nice, quality hotel with friendly staff members.

Amazing Resort
My Wife and I went the week after 4th of July. We were greeted by the staff upon exiting our cab and seated in the lobby with cold drinks while they arranged our registration. From this point until we departed we received the best service I’ve ever had in a hotel. Room - We had the Ambassador Penthouse. If you want to entertain a group without having them inside your main room this is the way to go. The separate / private jacuzzi area can accomodate a good sized group and has its own restroom. Combine this with the 24 hour suite service and bottle service and you have the makings of a nice party. Pool - Simply amazing. Look for Cecilio at the pool bar. He’ll remember your name and greet you with your favorite beverage throughout your stay. Beach - The beach is clean and quiet. There are a few vendors who have licenses from G.V. to be on the beach, but they are not obtrusive. Restaurants - Our favorite was the Mexican cuisine; though the food is more like that of Spain than typical Mexican. Great seafood and meats with a spicy touch. Our least favorite was the French one. The lighting was bad, the food was not that good, and the staff there seemed to have adopted the French snobiness. Spa - Some have noted that it’s a bit pricey. Book a massage and allow yourself time to indulge in the steam rooms and wet areas; it’s worth the price.
Traveler's tip
Men need long pants, collared shirts and decent shoes for the evening restaurants. Women can wear shorts / capris.
