“The service improved greatly. Very good Mexican style lunches. Just consider that when ordering flour tortillas it is an additional cost but one piece is enough since they are very large. They don't have decaffeinated coffee. And 18% tip is charged in groups of 6 or more people. In general everything very good.“

“Amazing place, beautiful heated pool, beach access and one of the most amazing views to the golf, they have a full restaurant and bar, their staff was so friendly, we noticed that you mainly need to speak Spanish and we ask for strong drinks, kind of pricey but they were really good, and worth the location and nice spot, we didn't tried food yet but we will try next time“
