There are some helpful things that I wish I had known before traveling here. The sand is wonderful but the swimming is extremely difficult due to lots of rocks. The food was the largest disappointment by far, the selection was not great, especially if you have specific dietary needs. A must know is that you can't get turkey anything, I do not eat pork and that is all you have available to you in omelets, bacon, or sandwiches. I though I would be ok for breakfast if I could just get oatmeal but it is only milk with floating oats in it. There is NO wholegrain breads ever or brown rice. You can't get Ginger Ale at all, which I have never had happen while traveling anywhere. The buffet was the worst but the restaurants in the evening were better. There are not straws because it is an Eco resort, which is fine, just be aware so you can bring your own reusable straw. No napkins and no paper towels in bathrooms (again not bad, just be aware). Also, you must have a smart phone when you go to dinner, all menus are a scanned QR code. We do not drink alcohol so I can't speak to that but the virgin drinks like Pina coladas were not very good. We stayed in the Select Club adult only section and the first room had some real issues but they moved us to a better room. The level of cleanliness was not the standard that we are use to but I think they still did a good job and try very hard. There is shampoo and body soap in the shower but bring your own conditioner. There is a small fridge in all the rooms with pop and some beer. The grounds were very well kept and we enjoyed the walking paths. The evening entertainment is not great, mainly because it is just to loud, we had to wear ear plugs and then it was still overly loud. No dancing in the evening if you don't speak Spanish or care for that type of music. There is an upstairs to the Select Club but no music or dance there or on the beach in the evenings. Not much to do in the evenings at all, two pool tables in the sports bar area but no chalk and not great tables, and a few ping pong tables. There a great store on the resort, lots of inventory but of course it is a bit expensive that is because of convince. Sunscreen is $20 a bottle so make sure to bring your own and bring some bug spray. The pools are nice but need to be cleaned more frequently, especially the adult only pool, hard to keep it up with all the trees around it. The heated pool and hot tub was only heated for the first 3 days we were there and was not on the rest of the time we were there. We did not use the spa or take the sales pitch tour of the resort, we knew we did not want to buy in to the program. The staff really try to help and are very kind and the setting is beautiful. There is a lot of true potential for this resort with all the areas that are available but it would help if they had more music and variety of music for everyone and hopefully it will get better as they recover more from COVID, the food really was our main concern though and it was for almost everyone we spoke with. The orange juice was Sunny Delight with pulp in it and they do not know what a smoothie or a shake is. Hope some of this helps you plan your trip.
