The best part of the hotel is the lagoon in front of the hotel - if you are into snorkelling. When the tide is high you can see a lot. But you should bring your own mask, snorket, fins, unless you are willing to pay 12 Euros per hour for a set. The property is sprawling. Lots of pleasant walking around. Two restaurants, with the By the Water one much better than Mercado (buffet). Book it for all night right away when you arrive. There are 180 rooms in the hotel and the By the Water restaurant takes about 50 (my guess) guests per night. This also means that there are long waits during dinner (easily 2-hour sessions). Rooms show their age but are still good. Keep light off in the evening; otherwise there will be mosquitos. Keep any food away from the room; otherwise you can have a visitor (a mouse). We were in a larger room with access to the Plantation where it is possible to have breakfast, snacks, and a semi-private pool. But this costs extra, and I am now not sure if it is worth it. There are some water activities, but they are limited either by the way the beach is (kayak) or how often they are run (snorklering and glass bottom boat trips). The pool is nice. Overall, a very good stay for 4 nights. But check when you are going. We paid a lot because it was over the New Year. We had a breakfast/dinner package, and even with that, we had to pay an extra 80 euros per head for the New Year's dinner (not including wine). New Years activities were good: a live band, DJ, some dancing, and a fire-swallowing show, plus HUGE 5-minute-long fireworks over the ocean.
