Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)
- Renovation Status: The Ambassador and Grand Class suites underwent significant aesthetic refreshes recently. Guests report these rooms feel modern and “crisp.” The lower-tier suites are well-maintained, but some guests note slightly older AC units in the Conventions Center wing.
- Quiet & Sleep: For the best sleep quality, request a room in the Grand Class section (Building 7). It is further from the Anfiteatro (18) and the high-traffic Kids Club (4), minimizing evening noise.
- Convenience: Families should prioritize the Ambassador suites located near the Main Pool and Selva del Mar (12). This minimizes the walking distance between the room and the most popular kids’ amenities.
Top Spots & Hidden Gems
- Guest Favorites: The Infinity Pool near Aqua Bar (13) is the social heart of the resort. Guests consistently praise the “Service Pods” around the pool where staff provide sunblock, magazines, and iced towels.
- Secret Locations: Behind the Spa (2) area, there are lush, quiet paths that feel like a botanical garden—perfect for an early morning stroll away from the crowds. Also, the terrace at Restaurante Azul (11) at sunset is the best uncrowded photo op.
- Dining Tips: Don’t miss the “Rock Shrimp” at Selva del Mar or the signature tequila-tasting flight at the Lobby Bar. For breakfast, Restaurante Azul is the go-to for fresh chilaquiles with an ocean breeze.
Practical Layout & Distances
- The Walk: This is a compact luxury resort. The walk from the Lobby (1) to the beach is approximately 5 minutes on foot.
- Terrain: The Resort Layout is relatively flat near the rooms and pools, but there is a slight incline toward the Tennis Courts (5).
- Accessibility: The Property Map shows a highly accessible design. Elevators are available in all accommodation blocks, and ramps connect the main lobby to the pool deck, making it stroller-friendly.
