Exactly as advertised, March 2024

Reviewed Mar 24, 2024via mobile
My partner and I stayed for a week during mid March 2024. If you’re looking to get a tan on a budget, this is your spot. The photos are mostly accurate too. The rooms are dated, but the AC blows cold air, the sheets are clean, and the beds are comfortable enough. We had a second floor room, and its was fairly quiet.
This is not a party resort, and we appreciated that.

The food at the buffet was nothing amazing, but they had decent verity, and it didn’t make either of us sick. There was always fresh fruit around which was a nice touch. They also have an omelet station which was a welcome sight. The small cafe made great cappuccinos and lattes, and had a nice selection of baked goods. The lunch options at the beach were fine also. Pizza cooked in a wood oven, burgers, hotdogs, nachos and fries were all exactly what you’d expect.

We didn’t spend much time at the pool by the rooms, as it seemed like that’s where the families mostly hung out. Also there was limited breeze there, so it got hot. The second pool by the beach was great. We went out around 8:30 to claim our spot, and still got grade A chairs overlooking the ocean. The bar is well stocked, and the staff there are all super friendly and helpful.

The proximity to the Malecon and Zona Romantica are a huge draw of this resort. A 100 peso cab ride from the resort and you’re at the pier, surrounded by lots of amazing dining and shopping options.

Overall, this resort was exactly what we expected.

TLDR; rooms are dated but functional, food is good enough, the drinks are cold and the sun is hot. All our experiences with staff were positive, overall a great budget option to get some time in the sun!

We always got up before breakfast at 7:00 am and saved a couple of chairs overlooking the beach. We tipped with pesos and the staff were totally amazing. They were extremely helpful with my gluten free diet. Gracias mi amigas and amigos. Thank you so very much.

The food at Carpuso was amazing:). Muchos gracias #JuanCarlos and #Carlos for excellent food, wine and a very positive supper experience. The serving staff at El Huerto were very kind. They made corn tortillas for me and kept me straight on my gluten free diet.

If I can't say anything nice about the resort, I won't say anything. This was a WestJet vacation package, and they used to be good and predictable, but unfortunately not in this case. I suggest that you read all the reviews before you book, and not rely on any prior experiences with WestJet vacations.

The place needs some love and attention as it’s an older destination place. The pools show their age as do the bathrooms. The rooms are large and I would recommend the main floor rooms with a pool view. The second and third floor rooms do not have balconies, only large windows.
If you can, get a room with a walk in shower as our room had a delaminating 4 foot curved tub. Standing in it was very dangerous and easy to slip
For the price it was a fair deal and I would stay there again.
