The resort and staff were wonderful. Could not check in until 5:30PM even after receiving text message at 3:30pm room being ready. Murat and Alex handled it well. Overall experience was great.

Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club
Beach was beautiful however it is right by the port so you see many ships. Which can be interesting. Great beach bar. Dany is amazing!!! A huge disappointment is that you need to pay for chairs and umbrellas on the beach daily. This was not disclosed in the hotel description.
