Really good Dining Experience

During my stay, I was thrilled with the really good dining options available, especially at Hiroshi's located at Hotel Mousai. The extensive menus offered very nice selections, and each meal was beautifully prepared. Our all-inclusive package ensured that we had access to fantastic breakfast options every morning. I particularly enjoyed the multiple restaurants, including Blanca Blue and Boca, where we savored delicious meals while enjoying the stunning views of Banderas Bay.

Fun for the Kids

During our recent visit, I was impressed with the children's amenities available at the resort. My 8-year-old enjoyed the Kids Club, where the staff were engaged and friendly. They organized fun activities that kept the kids entertained throughout our stay. This made our family vacation even more enjoyable, knowing that our children were having a great time in a safe environment.
