Rooms are air-conditioned, and each has a private balcony and a minibar. The Junior Suite and the Junior Suite Platinum measure about 560 square feet, the Family Room sleeps five, and the Studio with Jacuzzi adds a resort view and a whirlpool. Beds run to a king and a queen with a Murphy bed in the larger rooms.
Five restaurants are part of the plan. La Marina serves seafood over the marina, Trattoria Di Gulio does Italian with a brick oven, and La Alhambra runs a casual world buffet with live music. El Alcazar and Hacienda Arrecife complete the list. Poolside, beach, lobby and swim-up bars fill in between, and room service runs 24 hours.
Two outdoor pools have loungers and a swim-up bar. The kids' club and teens' programming run through the day, and the fitness center and yoga classes sit beside the sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and snorkeling. The spa was renovated in 2024 and has 20 treatment rooms. Wi-Fi is free across the resort.
It suits families who want a reef on the doorstep and a short drive from the airport.
