Re: SANTANA BEACH RESORT

Food was okay, maybe a little better than average. Just like hlywud said, service not that good.

As for the disco, I couldn't tell you. We were travelling with 2 small children. Keep in mind, you are in the middle of nowhere. No resorts next door and the nearest town is 20 minutes away. If you want peace of mind, this is a nice spot.

The beach...fine white sand mixed in with very fine stone. There is plenty of "beach space" with lots of shade. It is acceptable. If you are expecting tourqoise blue water, you are not going to get it here. You are in a cove. The water is calm and clean.

Our biggest disappointment was our expectation (or lack of). We saw it flagged as a five star, so we were expecting alot and didn't get it. My advice, expect 3.5* quality service.

Overall, it was a good trip, but I wouldn't go back again unless I could accept the same service.

It's what you make of it. Have a great time!

Brett: Thanks for the info, I will post my message when we return.
