"The gardens and grounds are still charming, the pools (with a lazy river) and recreational options are excellent, and the restaurants are hitting on all cylinders." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A handsome 10-acre, beachfront, all-suite hotel built in a horseshoe shape. Impeccably kept, with beautiful marble floors, pastel walls, Huichol art, and Mexican textiles."
Star Service "On the beach, within walking distance of both the marina and 18-hole golf course, this is a classic international tropical resort, capably run and service-oriented." Full review

Because of landscaping, request a room above the third or fourth floor for the best ocean views.
