My husband and I stayed at the resort for one week. This was our first time in Puerto Vallarta. The resort is 23 years old but is in very good shape. We stayed in a one bedroom condo with a view of the pool. Most of the rooms at this resort face the pool with the exception of a few towards the front facing the beach. The rooms were very clean with dailty maid service. There are a total of 3 pools; one large one with water slide is the main one. Another one towards the front of the property which was called the quiet pool. Meaning no music during the daytime. The third; the smaller one was right in front of the beach with 2 hot tubs attached. The water temperature was perfect. the pools were clean and the water was clear. There is two restaurants on the property. One is open for all meals. The other one is open for dinner. We went to the dinner one the first night we arrived and the service was slow. There were 2 couples that came after us and were served their appetizers and we hadn't even received our chips and salsa. The other one the food was pretty good. The property has theme night buffets which we found very good and generous. The prices were moderate. The drinks seemed watered down a bit. The service at the resort was excellant. No problems with any of the staff. Always willing to help. There was always plenty of chairs around the pools for sunning as well as on the beach. The timeshare people hooked you upon check in; but they offered a "gold card" which allowed savings everywhere in the resort and at some restaurants in town. They touted the presentation at 90 minutes; but it seemed longer. There also was some pretty good discounts on the tours in the area. Know your prices on tours before you go. Plenty of info on websites to check them out are available.
We had a wonderful time and will be definately returning
