Loved the special attention from the Concierge Josue. It really made the trip special for our 2 year old daughter. The Family Selection is really worth it for families with young kids.

9/10 Wonderful! (186 reviews)

This place is gorgeous. We hung out at the pool and watched the lizards and birds. Its set in the jungle so the animals are everywhere and it’s so peaceful. The staff were so professional and polite. The food and drinks were 5*. There is a lot of construction happening so if that’s something that will bother you, plan accordingly. The only thing I wasn’t prepared for was the extra tipping. I thought it was all included in the all inclusive package but they are asking for more tips. It’s worth it and we are happy to do this, I just wished I had known so I would have brought more cash to avoid fees from the bank machine. My understanding is that it is included, but you’re tipping more based on exemplary service and you feel like a jerk if you don’t tip, at least we felt that way. 10/10, this place is a gem.
