This is a wonderful, low-key boutique option for those looking to avoid the mega resorts. It is quiet and very peaceful. You really feel like you are tucked away in the jungle. The half board covers breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is buffet-style, and you can supplement the buffet offerings by ordering anything off the breakfast menu you'd like. They offer two entree choices for dinner. One evening they had taco night, which was set up like a street taco stand with many offerings in terms of meat and toppings. There was live entertainment every night. Drink prices are very reasonable. My wife and I charged the majority of our drinks during our five day stay to our room and in the end our drink bill was only $114 US. The beach is walkable for a long distance in either direction. If you go to the left you will encounter several larger resorts and restaurants. We rented a cabana with an ocean view, which I highly recommend. It was like being in a log cabin in the jungle. Getting to the hotel by rental car was a bit tricky without GPS (as our phones didn't work in Mexico except when connected to the internet.) We had to stop and ask for directions which was no big deal. The resort is several turns off the main road coming down from Cancun. They also offer Yoga and other wellness experiences. The staff is friendly and offer personal service that is not intrusive.
