Who are you going with...that would be a big factor in my comments. NOT a fun place for our families with teenagers in the fact there was NOTHING to do at night. There is one bar open in the evenings with a couple of pool tables, but they wouldnt allow our teens to play even with parents. The teen kids club is nonexistent and they also wouldnt allow kids under 18 (I'm talking well behaved 15 and 16 yr olds) into the disco with parents either. So, horrible place for teens. But it was a beautiful location, we bicyled into Playa several times and the beach is perfect.

It would actually be for my daughter and her boyfriend (both university students).

The Gala is great for famillies with little kids. The kids club for the wee ones is wonderful. The programs by the pool center around the families. The dinners center around kids, they show animated movies in the theatre during dinner.

Try the Riu resorts or Iberostar for your adult family. You'll like them. Check out the unofficial Riu website, www.riubamu.com. Enyoy our decision and your holiday.

For the early 20ish crowd I would suggest something a bit closer to Playa or in Playa. I agree with previous poster that Gala seemed best suited for families with young children.
