This property is a “royal gem.” If you desire excellent accommodations, beautiful beachfront, fine specialty restaurants and quality guest services, this resort will resonant with you. It’s nestled on Playa las Gemelas providing an incredible 180-degree view of the wondrous Banderas Bay. Ownership has done a remarkable job upgrading the resort to create a unique property attraction that offers extraordinary ambiance and convenient walkability. The picturesque entrance opens to a spacious lobby where guests are greeted with a soothing ocean breeze and impressive views of the bay, making it a perfect refuge to relax any time but especially in the evenings. We found the entire staff exceptionally courteous and hospitable, confirming that quality guest services are an integral part of the culture. Another standout feature is all the rooms have private balconies overlooking the ocean. Our room on the 6th floor was comfortable, spacious, quiet and clean with nice bathroom amenities, affording us a beautiful unobstructed view of the beach and bay. The “crown jewel” is the Ekinox Terrace on the 12th floor. It’s an adults-only retreat where for a reasonable daily stipend, members enjoy an exclusive atmosphere that includes a pool, premium bar and food service. Finally, we’d like to recognize Israel and Salcido, both of whom are managers, as well as Ernesto, Carlos, Enrique, Manuel, Consuelo, Teodoro, Gonzalo, Alfredo Mejia and Filiberto Plazola, all of whom made us feel very special.
