“The resort stands out for its dedication to families, not only with a kids' club but also through its animation team which leads activities for all ages both at the hotel and on the beach; plus, its all-inclusive plan really does cover everything from meals to midnight drinks. While it's not directly on the beach, the regular shuttle service makes getting to the water and even to Playa del Carmen's famous Quinta Avenida simple. For a relaxed but full experience, this is a solid choice.”
