Fodor's Review:

You'll have bay views from the balcony of any room in this resort, which spans the shore of beautiful Bahía Tangolunda. Red-tile roofs on the low-slung buildings add a touch of Mediterranean elegance. This is an all-inclusive resort, so you'll have free use of most water-sports equipment; dive masters are on hand with all the necessary equipment, for an extra charge. With an excellent beachfront location near the golf course, many activities for kids and adults, and large meeting rooms, this hotel is attractive for both families and corporate events; you'll find you have no reason to leave. At night candles flicker in the glamorous Casa Real restaurant ($-$$). The food is northern Italian; reservations are essential. Pros: Great location, lots of amenities, quiet and laid-back. Cons: Property is a bit dated, staff can be hard to find.

The Hotel is clean and adequate. The buffets are not the best. They usually had one dish with hot dogs in it. Don't eat the Hamburger in the beach Bar Both my husband and I did and had horrible food poisoning, the worst. Other people in hotel had the same problem. They allow babies in the bar pool but do not allow t-shirts to play pool volleyball in the afternoon sun.
