I remember talking to my fiancee and us agreeing that this resort did not really make much "sense" until we walked all the way up the mountain side. Our tower near the bottom and the tower next to us felt detached from the hotel lobby and the resort as whole. It is only when you travel all the way up the path behind the lobby does the resort finally become comprehensible.
You wind through a series of cliff side pools, restaurants, a water park, a natural pool, and finally...the rest of the hotel suites. At last, you see the lush, green mountains as advertised and a series of hotel buildings couched into the hills like little bungalows, a beach cabana in the middle of the jungle. There were about six restaurants, each based on different types of food like Japanese, world cuisine, or a sports bar. The food was lackluster overall compared to other all inclusive resorts we tried in Mexico. The lack of any signature theming for any restaurant/bar, the long periods of time you had to wait to basically eat at a buffet, the inconsistent service, not to mention the less than stellar alcohol made the food portion of this all inclusive perk rather disappointing.
You come to this resort because it is decently priced, has beautiful mountain theming for its rooms, and the water park and numerous pools will delight children and their parents alike. If you are looking for delicious food, great service, or easy access to a nice beach, please look elsewhere.
