April 1, 2004
We were there for the last few days of February and the first 10 days of March and enjoyed every minute we were there. The last few days seem to have been a spring break somewhere, because more young people showed up. They were not disruptive in the slightest
though. The staff is friendly, helpful, and do their very best to speak English for you. It would be good if you could learn a bit of Spanish so you can speak a little of their native
language. The food is very good and always available and there are different kinds to suit all diets. The specialty restaurants were on the whole good, but we experienced some windy moments in the restaurant on the beach - the
Marimba. Bring at least two bathing suits (drying time) and some
cover-ups - you need to wear them in the restaurants. Most important of all is an insulated mug - ice melts fast in that heat. Oh yes, and lots of sunscreen. We did the fake and bake thing before we left home, but still had some slightly red moments. Some people there were brilliant red -
ouch. We had a lot of fun and did a lot of beach walking and snorkeling. The nightly entertainment is great, but after about 10 days it gets a little repetitious. Very lively and happy, but if you don't want to be hauled up to join in, don't sit near the
front. The rooms are kept very clean and the staff are cheerful and appreciate the $1 or so tips, but don't expect
them Beaches are soft, white, clean sand and the beach vendors are kept off the property, but are within walking distance. You can deal in pesos or US dollars - your choice - but beware - those vendors are quick and can calculate pesos a whole lot quicker than we
could! We would go back there in a flash - tomorrow if we could and certainly would recommend it to our friends and family.
