You get what you pay for. Ants in the room, I wanted to sleep with my clothes on in bed.
Spent most of the time at the pool which was downright beautiful, has private areas, infinity edge with gorgeous view, swim-up bar with the friendliest young bartender, and basketball hoops for some in-water activity when you are bored from laying in the sun or shade.
There is golf, 4x4 off-road courses and other touristy options, shopping, but I was there to relax and enjoy the pool.
Extremely pricey breakfast buffet (in relation to the room fee...we would have paid more for one meal than one night in our room) but the pool-side burger was the most remarkable burger I may have ever eaten. For roughly $10 USD I enjoyed the burger pictured...fresh, soft dark bun with egg, avocado, juicy beef and more. So amazingly delicious *and* economically priced, I basically lived on these balanced and tasty burgers during my entire stay. Bring your own bottled water! I didn't trust the tap water or ice.
The "club" downstairs is...interesting. Seems to be open on a whim, and we were the only 3 people watching the band perform American cover songs.
We may return, but will be better prepared next time!
