One of the best all-inclusive hotels I've found. Its a solid jewel from Mexican tourism with it's many restaurants, pools, bars, and amenities. It has an army of workers willing to get you anything in their power to make you happy.

One and only con: the timeshare pitch. 90 mins my... don't be afraid to walk away after your third "no," or they will drain your entire day. Other than that...have...
