This small beachfront community offers excellent snorkeling right from shore with colorful fish and sea turtles among the coral reef. Relax at the laid-back beach bar or take a short trip to nearby Playa del Carmen for shopping and nightlife.
Beautiful location. Comfortable room, as advertised in pictures. Wonderful community feel. Welcoming and helpful staff. Great snorkeling right off the beach. Only downside was that there was a club nearby that was blasting music at night and we could really feel the bass. Made it hard to fall sleep.

The only disappointment was the inability to make restaurant reservations in advance. We were looking forward to enjoying the different restaurant options as promoted vs buffet every morning and night (tho no complaints about the food at the buffet), but even tho we attempted to book right after arrival, we were able to secure only two restaurant reservations.

This was our second time here and I'm sure it won't be the last. We had room 107 on the first floor. Perfect view looking out over the pool and the Ocean beyond. We enjoyed the loungers by the pool and on the beach. Our whole stay was so relaxing! The service poolside or on the beach was superb. I have to admit the service for dinner in the restaurant was not quite up to par. The room was ever clean and comfortable. Over all we love the place.
