Rooms run from Junior Suites with nature or ocean views to Privilege Junior Suites and Master Suites, with swim-up suites and Waterpark Side rooms for families. Honeymoon suites and the El Beso junior suites serve the adults-only area, and Privilege guests add a lounge and a pool of their own.

Ten themed restaurants cover Italian, Mexican and teppanyaki among other kitchens, and an international buffet, Casa del Mar, handles the everyday meals. Three snack bars, an ice-cream shop and six bars sit alongside.

Three swimming pools, a children's water park and a jacuzzi fill the days, and the Daisy Club runs activities for children. Adults follow the Blue Team programme. Tennis courts, a multi-sports court, a bowling alley and two theaters, one of them outdoors, cover the evenings, and the Despacio Spa Centres offer a water circuit, sauna, steam bath and massages. Free Wi-Fi is included.

It suits families who want a water park and a long list of restaurants, and couples who book the adults-only area.
