    This resort was a humongous, beautiful tropical oasis in the midst of dry season. You could see they worked hard to maintain the property. I liked the proximity of my room to the beach. There was an abundance of food options throughout the day,...

    we took the premium package for three nights. It was a better choice - less waiting and a private lounge with food and drinks. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, and the gym and butterfly sanctuary were cool.
