great time to be had if your willing to overlook your north american expectations! the staff at the resort work hard to give you a vacation experience and don't get paid enough! The trip was very inexpensive for my family to travel there for 2 weeks. for that i am thankful and mindful of my experience! if you want more then i would advise you to get off your wallet and spend because your expectations cost. the people in this country try very hard and i am truly hurt by the number of people that think that 'all inclusive' covers the cost of your experience! my advise to those traveling to warm locations is that the people working for you in these resorts are not paid very well and that we pay for good service at home and we should do so when we are away! my suggestions would be that a dollar goes a long way in this country and most times that is all it takes to enhance your holiday! i am a very seasoned traveller and have been wanting to say this for a long time. please don't forget to tip for your service and it will enhance your experience!! when you get to the resort your will likely find Angel, he does a fantastic job and works very hard. therefore we tipped him over and above what would be standard. he has the answers and if not he will get them! i have never met a bartender or server that doesn't work for tips, tipping is not expected but 'we' for some reason expect the service! I tipped the bartenders and servers when i was given the chance and found my self and family getting the best service! a dollar or 20 pesos helped the servers remember where you are on the beach or by the pool! better drink come with better tips, i am just saying! we are thankfull for meeting Noe (No Aye) in the buffett and beach. The entertainment people are entertaining and take the time to see the shows. Please tip well if you check out the al a carte resturants, the staff work hard and listen so please leave a $20 for sure. a smile goes a long ways no matter where you travel.
