As an Expedia VIP member, we also enjoyed the VIP treatment, which made our stay even more special. Having access to the sister resorts was another great benefit, especially since they have larger pools. We also loved the complimentary Hydro Spa — it was a wonderful way to relax and unwind. A special thank you to the wonderful team members who made our stay truly memorable. Maria Jose and Brayan at Reception were always helpful and welcoming. Thank you to Adela for preparing our welcome drinks and starting our vacation on such a lovely note. At Cielito Lindo, a big thank you to Laura, the hostess, for helping us with our birthday cake request, and to Anahi, Judith, and Roberto, our waiter, for their attentive and friendly service. Thank you as well to Miguel at the spa for making our experience so enjoyable. At the Italian restaurant, we truly appreciated the excellent service from Jesús, our waiter, and Vianey, the hostess.
