Miramar Beach

Not your typical “all inclusive” resort and far from “luxury” experience.

An honest review from someone who doesn't usually go to All-Inclusive. We spent over Easter with three kids (7,5,4) and had a blast. The water slides were a huge hit; the beach was very nice, and kids played in the waves and boogie-boarded. The pools were also very nice, and you had choices between the "louder pool" and the calmer one. There were other activities for the kids to do throughout the day, which was nice. The staff was great; I only had positive experiences with all of them. The room was good and did the job. The food was iffy at times. Breakfast was OK with all the staples. The lunch at Labamba was burgers and hotdogs. It was not ideal for parents, but the kids liked it. We were lucky to have dinner most nights at the Ala-cart restaurants, which were perfect. We didn't have food for two nights, and it was not good. There was nothing for kids to eat at seafood night, and sometimes, the food was not edible. We knew this going in. The drinks were great as well, and there was a good selection. Overall, this place is excellent for the price; kids had so much fun, as did adults. If you don't get reservations at the restaurants, consider a short cab to many restaurants around.

Armony is lovely, a great place to unwind. This is a smaller resort with class. The activities were excellent ie: Watsu, yoga etc. they have some unique experiences worth trying. The spa has some unique experiences as well, I highly recommend trying one. Many pools, very clean, pool side service excellent. Beach is also lovely, and the sand is not rocks like other parts of PV. ( plus) Friendly and respectful staff. My only negative feedback is the lobby bar menu does not clarify what’s included in all inclusive drinks and what is extra. They need to amend menus to indicate top shelf/ extra costs may apply ie tequila. Also they constantly chase you down to sign $0 bills. They print paper and have you sign your name and room number, not the norm for all inclusive members and a waste of paper and staffs time. Your braclet and room number should be enough to confirm you are all inclusive ( not the euro plan). Aside from that small annoyance -great resort.
