Good thing--it's on the beach!
Not so good...
--rooms are musty, can be cleaner
--too many guests for so little staff, service lacks
--Loud, noisy every evening; young children playing and yelling after 1 am in the hallways. Drunkards roam hallways loudly at 3 and 4 am.
--Hotel walls and floors constructed of non-absorbent materials and ALL ...

People who wrote bad reviews of this must think everyone is supposed to cater to them and only them. the staff was wonderful with my 3 kids and the shade was very nice. The kids loved the mini bar and the pool. The hotel had kid's activitys in the kid pool like water polo (my son loved it) AM+WESOME HOTEL DO NOT BE HESATENT

Went here with a large group in April 2008... we had kids, people in their 20's, people in their 40's, people in their 60's, and elderly in wheelchairs and everyone had a great time. there were plenty of activities for the kids, and the man in the wheelchair was able to get around. though, the grounds are big so it was difficult at ...

first off if you think saving a few dollars to get a second rate resort then this is your place. i heard from their staff, the staff from the hotel they sent us too and the riu vallarta that jalisco overbooks by 40 rooms a day and these unfortunate guests are sent to an even worse hotel. their clerk said the one got sent to must be okay because ...

I was a little hesitant after booking this hotel once I saw all of the mixed reviews, but I went ahead and kept the reservations. I am glad I did because I had a complete blast.

Cons: Bed is rock hard. No waiter/waitress on the beach. Expensive cab ride to downtown ($20 one way).

Pros: We got there about 2 hours before check-in, but ...

The check in took about an hour and we ran passed the timeshare suites. There is only one place where there are elevators which is right in the middle lobby area, so if you are on the far left or right wing, you will be taking stairs which wasn't very pleasant on a day that the floors were scorching hot. The buffet restaurant on the beach was ...

Arrived the evening of the 6th of Jan 2008,
when we checked in we were told there were no keys available for the room safes until the following morning, went to our rooms there were 3 couples, left our luggage and went to the beach as we returned from the beach a resort security man followed us to our rooms we changed then left our rooms again ...

Just got back from the Jalisco 3 nights ago. At first glance, the hotel seems very nice, but look closely, and you may change your mind. Since it's all-inclusive, don't be surprised to see a lot of roaming drunks on the grounds. However, if this is your thing, you should feel right at home! The hotel is U-shaped, and there is a giant stage ...
