Cayo Cruz

We just came back from our stay at Valentin Cayo Cruz. They were not at full capacity and only 4 blocks were being used. We asked to switch rooms from ground floor to higher up but were denied due to no availability. I was initially disappointed as our room/patio was right in a highly traveled path. After a couple days I started to love our location. The staff greeted me every morning and one gentleman brought me flowers. As for the resort the rooms were very clean and modern. The buffet had lots of selection at every meal. We did not go hungry. The A la carte Italian was disappointing as my pizza was burnt and my husband's pasta was cold but a quick trip to the buffet made it all better. The pool was awesome. The bartender there made the best Pina coladas ever. The lobby had entertainment every night with a sax or piano player and the iced coffee was delicious. We did go a day without wifi so not checking with the kids was stressful but once it was working no other issues. The grounds are beautiful and the iguana was a fun resort pet. We only used the beach once for a short time due to the high tide, waves and visible sand fleas. No fault of the resort staff they were out cleaning the beach by hand and rake to make it clean and as usable as possible. Overall we had a fantastic week and will definitely go back. Great people and a beautiful location.
