"Food was incredible! Very clean & friendly staff! Amazing views and large property! Gio at Bocados & Rogelio on pool service absolutely made our experience better with their amazing service!! The spa is worth every penny! We had to book it again! The hydrotherapy & massages were life changing. Only downside I can think of was the sales pitch of timeshares on arrival. They act like you have a personal concerge who just tries to sell you on a "VIP" package to sell timeshares. It was very pushy...

"Room was lovely met our needs . Pool fabulous but it had a lot of rules . Could not bring your own refreshments or food . At a condo I would have thought I could . The walk is exhausting even with the little funicular up the steep part . Staff were always friendly and accommodating as best as they could . Check in was in a separate building, from the pinnacle I was staying at . Over all we did enjoy our stay . Glad we had a car . "

"Really clean property, really friendly and attentive and staff. Sales staff (for Krystal Rewards) were REALLY pushy, which was annoying. Perhaps it's because we went towards the end of busy season/beginning of the off season, but there were 2 of 7 nights that all property restaurants were closed, many nights only one restaurant was open. We were able to enjoy the great breakfast buffet on the Hacienda side only once before it was closed for the duration of our stay. On 2 occasions, we weren't...
