Not 1 bad thing to say about this resort. One of the best resorts I’ve stayed at in Mexico, thus far. Rooms were spacious and clean. The food was very good (they served baked buffalo wings by the pool area. The best wings I’ve had in a while). The liquor canisters in the room had Cuervo as an option, which was good enough for me. The staff are very friendly. The beach is GORGEOUS (police patrol constantly, in order to keep the panhandlers away).
The best part is as soon as you walk outside of your hotel, you have a plethora of dining and shopping options, all within walking distance. There is zero reason why anyone should be bound to the resort for their entire stay. The area is also safe.
If you can’t get the free shuttle service, call an Uber. An Uber to the airport is $30. If you try to use the taxis that are already at the airport, you are going to pay up to $110, for a 20 minute ride.
