Frommer's Review

An excellent value and a great choice for families, this grand 12-story all-inclusive resort hotel (formerly the Sheraton) has large, handsomely furnished public areas facing the beach. It's an inviting place to sip a drink and people-watch. Most rooms have balconies with ocean or mountain views. Nonsmoking rooms are available. Gardens surround the large pool, with a swim-up bar and separate section for children. They host a Mexican fiesta night on Wednesdays.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; lobby bar; nightclub; beachside pool; fitness room; concierge; travel agency; car rental; salon; room service; laundry service; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

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.
