The Junior Swim-Out Suites have lounge chairs on a stretch of grass a few steps from the pool technically, they don't have direct swim-out access. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection it becomes apparent that these vouchers are really just a way for the resort to get guests to spend more money, since the credits aren't sufficient to cover an entire spa treatment and there are limitations on how many coupons can be used at one time.
There are 17 treatment rooms and a variety of services available the massages are very popular as well as hydrotherapy and salon services. Just try to book in advance or at off-peak times if you want to get serviced by the best estheticians and therapists.
The sporty set will appreciate not only the well-equipped gym -- which has at least a dozen pieces of cardio equipment, free weights, pulleys, physioballs, and more -- but also the daily yoga and Zumba classes. There are a putting green and a tennis court as well with racquets available for loan. While there is hour room service, the menu is very limited. Speaking of which, the food is generally very good by all-inclusive standards.
Highlights are the made-to-order omelette station and the smoothie bar which even features soy milk , as well as a wide variety of hot and cold items. On certain days resort chefs make a giant paella poolside as well, which is delicious and a big hit. Just watch out for the seagulls in this area, as they are brazen and not afraid to dive in if food is left unattended for even a moment. The French restaurant Bordeaux has a formal dress code and is lovely, with black-and-white decor and punches of red.
Service here, however, can be really slow be prepared to spend your entire evening here ; keep in mind that if wine is ordered by the bottle, there will be an additional charge. The French Onion soup is a highlight here, arriving with a cheese sprinkled puff pastry topping.
The tinkling sounds of a live pianist at a grand piano add to the ambience. The other more formal dinner choices include Himitsu for Pan-Asian cuisine, El Patio for an authentic Mexican food experience, and Portofino, which specializes in Italian offerings. Finding a drink is never an issue at this resort as bars seem to be everywhere. Popular bars include the Veranda Bar -- which is closer to the main building and evening entertainment including live musical performances as well as fun activities such as bingo -- and the Barracuda Bar, which is housed under a thatched roof and is located almost right on the beach.
The Desires Sports Bar also turns into a disco for dancing late at night and people definitely participate in the revelry. Opportunities for a good time abound here. The resort is directly located on a small white-sand beach.
It's well-suited to sunning there and listening to the relaxing sound of the waves, but it's not ideal for ocean swimming or activities, as it is overrun with seaweed and the ocean floor is rocky and slimy.
The resort staff is tireless in its effort to clean the beach of the seaweed, but there is so much that it's impossible to eradicate. This a general downside to the area, and is a problem at other resort beaches as well.
On a positive note, there are plentiful sun loungers and palapas for guests. Destination weddings are easily scheduled here and the setting could not be more idyllic, with ceremonies taking place at the end of a pier in a large, thatched-roof gazebo directly over the ocean.
The main pool has a swim-up bar and lots of activities including daily water aerobics and water volleyball. Plentiful sun loungers, umbrellas, and beach towels are available. Poolside activities also include the occasional swimsuit fashion show. The almost adjacent infinity pool has a stunning view out to the ocean and is a bit more subdued than the main area though the piped-in house music can still be heard. There are fewer loungers here but still more than enough to go around.
The other pools on the property are connected to the separate hotel buildings, giving them a very private feel. Those staying in Swim-Out Suites should keep in mind that these rooms are actually separated from these pools by about 10 feet of grass, and are not actually of the open-the-door-step-into-the-water variety.

The check in process is soley designed to get you to buy their upgrades and services so instead of having a quick check in; it is dragged on to over 30 minutes and then they pass you onto another person that tries to have you sign on to view their nearby upscale property; without disclosing that they will try to sell you HARD to join their vacation club.
