Eva showed me around the grounds and pointed out where we would find everything we needed. For example; they provide drinking water to refill your water pitcher and ice trays. She also shared a local map with me. On it she had highlighted the banks, grocery stores and recommend restaurants. While all this was happening, my boyfriend was talking with one of the owners Stephan. Turns out they grew up in the same neighborhood in Petaluma...small world in deed! Our room was clean, comfortable and all the amenities (air conditioning) we needed for an incredibly relaxing stay. There was a full kitchen with everything I needed to prepare coffee and breakfast in the mornings which we enjoyed on our own little porch with a view of the pool. Our room got checked daily, bed made and garbage taken out with full service half way through our stay. Daily full service can be requested as desired. The hotel has free WiFi, a book sharing area, 2 pools (1 heated, the other not), 2 bbq areas with outdoor eating areas, and pool are towels provided. The rooms also have TV with DVD players and CDs to check out from the office. We met great people here, many of them were repeat customers and we felt like we had joined an ongoing party. We've already made plans to return!

The unit that we stayed in was a donated week from a member. Overall, we enjoyed our time. We didn't leave the resort at all, as we needed a week to recoup and my husband also worked part time during our trip. We felt very welcomed. There was a special concierge desk for check in. We added three nights of the all inclusive package (we did a la carte otherwise). We were then ushered off to an "activities presentation" which was really just a gear up for booking us a time share presentation. Let me get one thing clear: We are not time share people, nor will we ever be. The incentive of additional resort credit was pretty tempting and the margaritas they were serving us were decently strong. Our room was really nice, albeit a bit dark. It had a huge gated patio which you could access the pool. The kitchen was okay for a week's stay but we weren't planning on cooking. Overall, very comfortable. The pools: nice temperature for October. A few too many kids for my liking (what are you gonna do?). Drinks were extremely watered down and service was spotty at times. The restaurants: I'll try and do some separate reviews but the crux of it were that the two main restaurants were great and the buffet was quite bad. Service: 5/5 stars. Very friendly and accommodating. Vibe: pleasant except A LOT (tons) of construction going on around the resort so pretty noisy. The client base were pretty chill. Not upscale but not low brow either. There's a market onsite to buy most things. Some which were really expensive, some were reasonable. My biggest complaint was the timeshare presentation. Absolutely NOT worth it. Super high pressure sales. Made us feel like we were being cheap and missing out. They tried every trick in the book. My advice: always tell these people that you don't make decisions on the spot without discussing privately. This seemed to really piss them off. The shuttle service to and from the resort was pretty pricey, but unless you're renting a car, there really aren't any other options. The views of the ocean and terrain around the property are absolutely gorgeous. Bottomline: this is a great resort if you're not looking for the nonstop wild party vibe of Cancun or other resort town. It's really chill. Avoid the timeshare and the buffet.

THE GOOD - Beautiful property with several pools and beach…read moreaccess -- it's a great place to relax - While I have a couple of gripes about the all-inclusive package (see below), I generally think it's worth the money, especially for the kayaking and paddleboarding on-site - Throughout the trip, all of the staff members were very kind and friendly to our party - Most of the food and drinks were good (there were a couple of exceptional items, like the steak tacos, and a couple of misses) - The gym has lots of equipment - Rooms are cleaned and well-maintained THE BAD - BUGS -- our group got lots of mosquito bites on our visit, and there were flies buzzing around the pool at all hours; additionally, there are lots of crickets and moths, and the room doors don't fully seal, so it's not uncommon to come home at night and find a cricket or two in your room - Poolside food/drink service is a great idea, but they are seriously understaffed in this area, so it took over an hour on multiple occasions to have food delivered on multiple occasions (over two hours in one instance) - Golf course looks immaculate, but is very overpriced ($575 USD for one round) -- would have loved to play, but for that price, you can play some of the nicest courses in the world instead - Two gripes I have with the all-inclusive pass: 1) unlike all other all-inclusive resorts I've been to where you walk in, get food, and leave as you like, this place makes you flag down a waiter and sign a check, which is frustrating because there are not a lot of staff who oversee the entire restaurant. 2) The steakhouse and several dishes at the sushi restaurant require additional payments on top of the all-inclusive pass. Feels like a nickel-and-dime type way to make money when the resort is already charging roughly $500+ per night for 2-person all-inclusive packages.

The catamaran is very small & seating is not the most comfortable but you get fantastic views of the mountains & shoreline. Food was very minimal but fine - chips, salsa, guac, cheese,fruit, & burritos. Drinks were beer, tequila, & rum. No wine - I was very disappointed with the no wine.

Another 5 stars! This was the best thing I've done in years…read more Our family group of 5 rode in a small boat to Coronado Island, piloted by Nicke (don't know how it's spelled, but is pronounced Neek-ay). We filled the boat so didn't have to have strangers ride with us and were very pleased about that. Nicke stopped and we got out & snorkeled at 3 different spots around the island. The first was the most spectacular underwater: Smooth, flat-side, house-sized boulders falling away from the island into the deepest blue depths, fish, all over, different kinds. Me just hanging in crystal clear water 70 feet deep... I haven't seen so many colorful & interesting fish since I was on the Red Sea as a kid. Nicke was so cool & didn't rush us. I could see other boats coming and going but we were here for around 1.5 hours and not made to hurry. It was so beautiful underwater that no-one wanted to move on. The next stop was a sea lion colony. This was an all-male colony; no females to fight over, so we were told we could safely swim with them - and we were not expecting THAT! Never dreamed I would have an opportunity to do such a thing! But we did and it was incredible. These are massive sea lions, not little seals. They were curious & swam all around each of us, and underneath, swirling and staring with their huge soft eyes, staying juuuust out of arms reach. It felt like an impossible dream. Nicke called us "the brave family" when we got out of the water here; I guess we got a little close to the sea lions. Again, other tour boats were coming & going but we were not rushed by our guide. The last snorkel spot was not as splendidly dramatic underwater as the first, but it was every bit as beautiful and had "tropical" fish everywhere. It was beautiful in a different way; you can't believe the colors you're seeing, the different shades of green and everything is close up, right in front of you, because it is much shallower. By the time were were done here, we were getting tired. Nicke took us to a clean sand beach with classic "perfect beach" turquoise water, set up an umbrella for shade and we lay around for an hour, till we were ready to go. And we were ready, it was a big day. Here he broke out some lunch and we ate every bit of it. If you are expecting cuisine at this juncture, you'd better bring it yourself. It wasn't fancy & there wasn't a lot of it, but that wasn't the point of the trip. We weren't there for a boat-ride & lunch. We got to spend hours snorkeling a world- class environment & swimming with wild sea lions for just over $10 an hour per person, an incredible value. Nicke did say that it was the best time of the year (fall) for clear water & visibility. I live 2 hours from here, near the beach, and will be returning to do THIS again with my Go-pro. If you don't have one, borrow one. You will want to remember this beautiful experience for a long time.
