Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort Spa & Casino - All Inclusive
Place is beautiful. Beach not so much. I couldnt swim out. Too many boats racing back and forth. Hotels entertainment was about a 3. The water park for the kids is at the entrance, the walk was too long for the kids. Its away from everything. Had to ask for room cleaning service.
