Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only
Our garden room was perfect, with lots of space inside and on the balcony. The beach and resort amenities were great, with good options available for food and drinks. The staff were very pleasant. We really enjoyed our week at the Azura.

The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel
The room was nice but dark. I suppose the rooms on the second floor are nicer. The staff didn’t seems to like their job. Or tired of girats maybe. Nice pool area. Note that this is a family hotel. It is not a calm romantic place. Breakfast was poor. I think that americans are the target for this ...

Residencias Samara
This is a fantastic location and place! Lots of young families so it was great for our little one to play. The place is well maintained, the staff were friendly, and it’s a short walk to everything
