the food was great every night a good choice was available. i appreciated that there were healthy options offered. the sea view from the room was peaceful it had an amazing view. the kids pool was a good depth with adequate shade.

the hotel needs some updating. communal areas felt tired and a refresh would help. the hotel is at the eastern end of playa blanca. a long walk is required to reach the main resort.
