Arafo Vacations from $1,546

it was not close to anything

This hotel should be perfect in every way. Sadly, we were there when some major construction was happening resulting in a large area being out of bounds. The construction then expanded into areas that were still open such as in the toddler splash pool. We had to stop our son using it as there were tools left lying around and open drains etc. Various areas randomly were taped off at different times so overall the hotel just didnt feel safe with a 2 year old so we were always a bit on edge.When we mentioned this to reception, they said they didnt think it was unsafe (despite us showing photos of another child picking up tools left at the side of the pool!) and even when we wrote a formal complaint, reception said they couldn't do anything about it and passed us the email of head office. Head office sent a standard 'sorry you were inconvenienced' letter but have failed to address the actual problem! The resort looks stunning and without the construction work, im sure it would have been fabulous. The a la carte restaurants are definitely where you want to eat as the buffet is loud, repetitive and generally just mediocre food. The shows are great and the rooms are fantastic.

This is a lovely hotel in a very nice place. The only downside is the large number of steps to access the beach and boardwalk- it may not suit senior citizens, it was a bit of a struggle for my eighty year old father. We bought some really nice local wine, but the hotel would not let us drink it anywhere except our room, even when we offered to pay a corkage fee.

Basically all you may need on holiday in one place. Shops, dinning options, evening entertainment - all in one place.

Restaurant Mirador so amazing x
