This was our first time leaving the country alone and when we arrived we felt very welcomed and safe. The room was the Superior Single and it was very comfortable and clean, the bathroom was exactly what you needed. The shower was very slow to get hot water but worked every time. The food here is very decent, even if you are a picky eater there is plenty to choose from. The location is also great for food and restaurants. Had absolutely no issues with the staff other than the Iguana bartenders didn’t treat us the same as the buffet bartenders. The location is safe, and the beaches were clean and we will definitely come back. The most important part of this review is Ricardo, he cares about his job and about making people feel like they are the only ones he is taking care of, The best service I have ever had by far was when he was working.

Mom & 20 yr old daughter trip, went to tan & chill. Location - Very centrally located to bank, pharmacy, markets, gift shops, restaurants, boardwalk. Food - excellent variety for all inclusive plan, primarily mexican dishes. I'm a picky eater but had plenty to choose from to fill me up at every meal. Good drinks, weren't watered down imo. It's on the beach. Vendors walking along the beach are constant. They will even try and get your attention if you're laying on your stomach. Facility/room - It's not as modern as ritzy places but had authentic Mexico atmosphere I'd expect. Beds were clean & comfy. Water was hot when it needed to be. Our room was on the 4th floor where we had a large balcony, big enough to lay out on loungers and tan. That is nice when you want elbow space & want to move your lounger. Most rooms have a small balcony, maybe room for 2 chairs and small table. Downside to our room...we were on the south side of the building with a street adjacent to us. Occasionally a little noisy at night but moreso in the morning. Delivery trucks would back up by 8am and their reverse beeps would absolutely wake me up. If you are a light sleeper and hope to sleep in, the north side of the property might be better for you. Staff - superb!! Shout out to Ricardo in the evening buffet service. He made us feel like royalty. Bartenders & housekeeping staff were also so friendly and accommodating. Tip the staff. They work hard for us. Both of us would def stay there again.
