"The hotel has everything to have a great time. The restaurants are very good. The best is the staff; so nice, professional and helpful. We did 3 tours: Dia de los muertos, Ventanilla (crocodiles and turtles) and a boat around the coast with transportation from the hotel. We will probably go again."
