This was my first visit to this spot. The staff offered excellent service. Fernando, Miguel, Christian, and Anastacio deserve special recognition. Bartenders made amazing drinks, always keeping them coming, I really enjoyed the drinks! The rooms are spacious, luxurious, and clean. The staff kept them fully stocked. I loved how clean everything was kept.

I liked my visit. But the gift shop's prices seemed quite high, and I found the sunscreen overpriced.
