This resort is good value for those on a budget. Tucked away at the southeast tip of the island, it enjoys a quiet and not over-developed location. The... views along the coast from Ruta Panoramica approaching the resort are fantastic. Our large, clean room overlooked the beach, so it was wonderful to wake up, open the curtains, and see swaying palm trees, frothing surf, and hammocks. It's a shame that a chain link fence separates the resort from the beach and slighly spoils the view. The infinity pool is lovely, and although it was full of kids every day (we visited over the Easter weekend), it is open until 9pm and empties out at night allowing for some quieter moonlit swimming. It would be even more pleasant if the music blaring from the bar was better quality, but that is very subjective of course! The staff were all very young, but so helpful and friendly, and patient with our lack of Spanish. Almost all of them speak good English. We had a bit of trouble one evening at the bar getting across the fact that we wanted rum in our pina coladas.... which left both us and the staff thoroughly confused! This is definitely a family resort, so not exactly a secluded romantic getaway. The restaurant is full of famlilies with kids/babies, and the menu and atmosphere is geared towards them. The evening menu is a little limited: generally over-salted and unhealthy dishes, with 'green salad' (actually just lettuce and tomato) as the only vegetarian option. Breakfasts were nice though. by a Hotels.com guest on 04/04/13
