At first, I was a little disappointed when we arrived. Hotel wasn't as grand, room was okay - we had 6 people and it just wasnt as upkept as I hoped.
My husband and I slept on pullout couch (it was closest to ocean view) that was terrible. After lots of asking, we got 3 pads added.
By end of week, we loved the hotel's serenity. Only property you can see/hear ocean, super quiet, relaxing, but also great for our 4 kids to play on beach and pool.
Without access to other resorts, we would have been disappointed in food options at Blanco, but having Rose and Sunset definitely helped. Also having access to pools was fun to mix up the days.
Our family loved the market at Sunset.
Poolside and ocean/beach side service was great. Food and drinks were constant.
So overall, we only slept in our room, so having it a little subpar was surpassed by all the other amazing things at the resort.
