“Ru Lupita holiday”

Relaxing vacation. Great getaway from the Canadian winter. Very well kept resort with friendly staff, excellent food with great variety, lovely pool at beach. Good walking beach. Part of a larger gated community of homes and resorts around large golf course where you can walk around the community.

The strong points
Beach front pool and restaurant. Extremely clean. Excellent restaurants. Friendly staff

The weak points
walk from bus to beach long distance and would not be suitable with those who had mobility problems. Usual problem with resorts...people saving pool lounges and never using them.

“It was OK”

It was OK. I wouldn't rate it at a 5 star except for the food.

The strong points
The food and staff was excellent. Free shuttle service to near 5th Ave and the beach

The weak points
Very quiet, boring location. Not at par entertainment in the evenings. Only have 4 or 5 staff members that take car of day and night. Definitely a resort for seniors
