Frommer's Review
Sandwiched between the Itabo lagoon and Playa Santa María, this is the best of the former Horizontes all-inclusives in this area, and it has become even better after being taken over by the Spanish Blau chain. The rooms are of good size and have plenty of windows or big, sliding glass doors opening onto private balconies or terraces. I think it's worth the slight splurge for one of the superior rooms or junior suites. The hotel does a brisk business in European group travel.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
