The view from the balcony I stayed in, 5104 was spectacular. You can see and hear the ocean waves from the bed. Hot water available, good water pressure. You walk down a couple of stairs, past the pool, further down, and there's the beach. Basic wash station right at the beach entrance. Limited number of umbrellas for everyone in the complex to share (6-8). Beach lounge chairs not that comfortable. Beach area under water gets pretty steep, if not experienced with waves, can be difficult to navigate. Life guard on duty, whistles warning when you've gone too far out. Especially if you have kids, walk much further down the beach for shallower water area.
The bad: 1 cockroach seen on first night, 3 killed in second night, no more sightings for the rest of the week, all in the kitchen. If you can deal with that, you can enjoy your stay. NO visitors allowed. All occupants must wear a wristband.
The convenience store water jug 70 pesos is a rip off, cleaning staff can provide a much bigger UNSEALED aqua pura water jug for 40 pesos, just ask.
If travelling on a budget, I would come back. If you want luxury, keep looking.
