Hi Penny,

I really liked the property. It was very secluded, quiet and private. If your clients prefer a party place with a very active younger crowd, this would not be the place for them. You have to travel via taxi ($20 each way) to Playa Del Carmen for the wilder fun side. To me it was worth the taxi fee to be far from that unless we chose to travel. I prefer privacy and quiet.

Room service food was fine and the restaurants were very good. We never had to wait for a table anywhere. There is the fancier dinner restaurants (Mexican, Italian & Japanese) that you have to wear pants and nicer clothing too but reservations are not needed. There is one other larger breakfast and lunch restaurant that you can wear anything too. I liked the food and was perfectly happy with it and the service. They have a spa and gym onsite that seemed very nice. You can eat dinner on the beach for a little extra cost and that looked pretty romantic. Private table with 4 employees catering to you by candlelight at a table on by yourselves. You can also get massages out on the covered area out on the water.

It was very common to walk through the hotel property and only see one or 2 more couples. We walked north on the beach for 2 miles up and 2 miles back and only saw one other couple. Beautiful water and the Marina is directly next door to the hotel and is the only other thing nearby. You can do boat or wave runner snorkel tours right from the marina. It was a 30 second walk from our room to our snorkel tour which we did right off the beach from our hotel. Very cool snorkeling.
