The property is well maintained and there is an abundance of friendly, helpful staff in every corner of the resort. We stayed in the Pref. Suites but if you dont need the spae or specific layout I would recommend staying on the main property. All of the places to eat, the gym and the spa are on the main side. Also, the Preferred building faces the main two way road and there is a TON of noise from all the big vehicles that utilize this road. We could hear it from our balcony and even from the pool area that is placed on the front of the property facing the main road. The Preferred building is less hectic in terms of crowds (not that the place was crowded in general) so if you really don't like to see other people it may be the place for you. Beyond that, I can't see too many reasons to deal with the inconvenience of being isolated from the rest of the resort and being a quarter mile walk from the beach. The beach was excellent and the grounds were well maintained .There are two potential drawbacks to consider- the first is that if you aren't Spanish speaking or comfortable not being understood this may not be the best place for you. This is a resort for Spanish speaking tourists- while some front-line staff can speak English- many can't speak a word. Other caveat would be the food, it generally was not good. I know all inclusives are not known for top notch cuisine, but this was near the bottom for me and my family. I don't blame the staff however, they do the best they can.
