| - First the good: 5 star rooms. This is a still relatively new resort built in Spanish Mediterranean style. Rooms are great: big bathrooms, huge walk in showers, standalone big tubs, wireless internet, balconies, nice desks, good beds, large flat screen TVs, and couches.
Also, this is pretty close to the airport - only a $20 ride. We got great rates on our 2 rooms, about ~$200 per night even though it was spring break week.
Unfortunately, the rest of the resort is lacking. Lunch was lackluster with disappointingly little choice. We tried to eat dinner but the restaurants were full even off season - and they weren't sure that we could get room service?!?!? We then tried to get help from the concierge but the line was so long we gave up.
Pools are nice but on the smaller side. The family pool seemed packed and the adult only pool, while empty, still had an occasional kid in and out.
Lastly, this resort does not have its own golf course.
As an aside, local gossip reports that the hotel may be having a hard time financially and that Obama stayed here to try to remedy the situation.
So in conclusion, if you're looking for a nice room not far from the airport, this is a good place to come. If you want a real resort with all the amenities, you may want to think twice.
