Overall, a pretty good stay! We stayed at the Blanco, but had access to the Rose. Pools were great and well maintained. We travelled with our two daughters : 13 and 20 yrs. Both had a great time!
Beach is fantastic, but you need to be a good swimmer. Once you get in… you’re swiming: yep, that deep! Would not recommend for young kids who are not good swimmers.
Food was okay where we stayed, but going to the restaurant at the Sunset property was fantastic…. Hard to believe that there would be this much of a difference in food quality between the Sunset resort vs the Branco and Rose.
Shuttle to the Sunset was a great service.
CONS:
Hotel rooms a bit dated, but you get what you pay for. Beds were very uncomfortable! I’m usually very easy going when it comes to sleeping, but I could not wait to leave just based on the lack of comfort re: the beds.
Vendors on the beach are annoying! I get that they need to make a living and appreciate that they are grinding out there, but constant badgering…it was relentless all day long. Yes, you can ignore them or politely decline.. we took up lawn chairs in the front on day 1, but moved to the second row to escape the vendors.
