We found a spot easily! the staff showed true care, especially elizabeth and rodrigo. I really appreciated their calm approach. we had free bus rides to the city, a great asset
Some advertised amenities were closed or unavailable, disappointing. the indoor pool had limited access, only between 9 am and noon. Not very convenient. they also charged for beach chairs, and umbrellas which i disliked.
