The staff were amazing! Their English was limited, but they were willing and were so pleasant. A shout out to Caesar at the Steak house, and Rachel the host. Ernesto at the breakfast poolside buffet, and Mario who made the omelets! loved the 3 pools, and beach seating with palapas. My favourite beach server was Aldahar who kept the mango margaritas coming! The food was ok, I tried all the restaurants and the Italian was my favourite, Brenda kept everything moving quickly.
