VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort - All Inclusive
My sister wanted to spend her 50th birthday in a quiet place by the ocean. This was our first time here, and it couldn't have been a better place for her birthday weekend. Low-key, quiet, clean, and delicious food, with excellent service. This is a great place for easy family vacation.

Viva Heavens by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive
Entertainment was so much fun. The bar staff was excellent. Food staff at the reservations restaurants was extremely poor due to so many locals. The locals came on the weekend and were rude to staff to visitors. Ruined 3 days of my expensive vacation.
