All staff encountered were very friendly and professional. The ocean views from some of the resort restaurants were amazing. The dinner buffet were some of the best food we had while staying at this resort. Lastly, I was very satisfied with the cleanliness of the room and the overall appearance of the resort. We will be back in the near future.

Although the decor is a bit dated and it is showing some wear, the staff do an excellent job of keeping it clean! The employees were always smiling and courteous and helpful. I can see how they take pride in what they do, which is amazing considering the size of the property and the number of employees it takes to manage and maintain not only the grounds, but the food service, bar areas and entertainment. Everyone was kind and helpful. We loved our stay there and will stay there next time we are in Cabo.
