Nice Place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/28/08
Ours was a family vacation at Spring Break time. The hotel is centrally located about half way between the airport and downtown. It's an older hotel but exceptionally clean and well maintained. The food is ok. They have a very good breakfast buffet. Lunch was only average, and we never ate dinner there though they appeared to have a nice buffet set up each night. The pool and beach area is very nice. Much of the sand is very coarse and rough on your feet until you get right down by the water,so this discouraged walks on the beach. Within walking distance of the hotel are a large grocery store (Gigante- think super Walmart or Meijer's) a small internet cafe/deli, and a handful of 'American' fast food places (KFC, Pizza hut, Burger King,Chili's). Warning, when we tried the KFC, it had a different menu from those back home, and we struggled with the language barrier when ordering (by contrast, most of the service folks at the hotels do speak english).
One final note, this hotel had a very diverse clientele, which we liked. It appeared to be a preferred place for affluent Mexican families. We toured the Westin later that week which appeared to be almost exclusively American tourists.
