This is a Timeshare resort. Although it is old, it is well maintained and clean. We found the room (a studio)...small but comfortable. I think we over payed at $1,200.00 USD. However, it is high season. We had everything we needed for making light lunches and dinners. We were not bothered by Time Share people and that was nice.The Resort is located on Medano Beach one of the only beaches that you can safely swim off. The beach is lovely but the sand is coarse. Be careful getting into the ocean, there is an undertow. Catches you off guard and you will fall in. The beach was a second away from the pool area. When you stepped onto the beach you were immediately approached by Beach Sellers, lots of them....but they were very polite and respected your space. The Resort is a good 40 min. from the airport and we booked the Resort Shuttle....not the wisest move...$50.00 USD a person. We returned to the airport by Taxi...in a very nice SUV for $50.00 total. The food and drinks on the resort are very expensive....$10.00 for a drink. The restaurants were ridiculously expensive for Mexico. Our first nite there we went to eat in one of the resort restaurants, being too tired to go elsewhere and we paid $360 pesos, aprox. $19.00 USD. for Chicken molle. Dinner for 2 without drinks was $65.00 USD. Couldn't believe it! The second day we went to Walmart....,close by and by bus, cheap...bought $200.00 USD in groceries which lasted us almost the whole week. We went into town....El Centro...for a couple of meals...More affordable if you don't go to the Marina area. They do offer a meal plan and when we checked in wee were offered a plan for $150.00 USD per person, per day!!!!!!! what a rip off. The beds were very uncomfortable, old mattresses i think. The service was great. Louis the concierge person helped us out several times and was very kind. We enjoyed the service of Benjamin Robledo at the pool. He was extremely courteous and we never had to wait for a drink. Overall I would go back again, just because of the ocean and the service.
