Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)

• Renovation Status: The hotel has undergone significant updates. Focus on Buildings 1, 2, and 3 for the freshest interiors. Guests report these rooms feel more modern and have more reliable AC units. Buildings 5 and 6 are often described as slightly more dated but functional.
• Quiet & Sleep: Request a room in Building 1101 / 1610. It is furthest from the Animación stage and the nightly music, providing the best environment for early sleepers.
• Convenience: Building 3102 / 3512 is the strategic “sweet spot.” It is equidistant from the Buffet, the central pools, and the beach access.

Top Spots & Hidden Gems

• Guest Favorites: The Ocean-Front Pool (western edge) is the most photographed spot. It offers a “saltwater” experience with waves occasionally splashing in from the sea cliff.
• Secret Locations: There is a small sun deck area near the Alma restaurant that remains less crowded than the main Animation pool. It’s perfect for reading without loud music.
• Dining Tips: At the Snack bar, don’t miss the afternoon tacos. In Tamashi, the sushi rolls receive consistent praise, but booking ahead at the guest service desk is mandatory as it fills up fast.

Practical Layout & Distances

• Walking Times: The Resort Layout is compact. Walking from the Reception to the furthest pool takes approximately 5-7 minutes.
• Terrain: The Hotel Layout is mostly flat, but there are some steps leading down to the sea platforms. It is generally stroller-friendly until you reach the actual rocky coastline.
• Shortcuts: To avoid the crowd after breakfast, use the path behind Building 2100 to get directly to the Alma area without crossing the central pool traffic.

Map FAQ

• Where are the beach towels? Towels are usually exchanged at a small kiosk near the circular central pool.
• Is there a sandy beach? This Resort Map shows a cliff-side property. Access to the water is via stairs/ladders into the sea. For a sandy beach, use the free shuttle to the nearby public beach.
• Where is the best Wi-Fi signal? The signal is strongest at Reception (w!) and the Buffet area. It can be spotty near the water.
• Are all pools freshwater? The main pools are freshwater, while the one closest to the cliff is often filled with filtered seawater.
• Where is the gym? Small fitness facilities are located near the Reception zone, though not prominently marked on all versions of the Property Map.
