I stayed at the Pres. Czm for 9 nights at the end of March with my husband and two kids age 7 and 10. I am very picky about hotels and I loved this property. The grounds and palapa restaurant (the outdoor one) were immaculate. I did not go to the indoor Italian restaurant. The open air restaurant under the big palapa was so amazing right on the ocean with the ocean breezes and view, I would not have eaten inside if they had given it to me free. The food at the beach bar and the big palapa was amazing. All my favs: gazpacho, civiche, guac, fish, etc. Everything was great. We got an ocean view from a garden view room but still moved a few days later to a walk out beach front. It's the only way to go. We loved it. The bathroom was very big with an outdoor shower. We used the chici club and the nanny service and both were great. But most of the time we just let the kids roam free as the property is secluded and safe with many lifeguards. The beach is pristine and even with the hotel nearly full, the beach was never crowded. The morning restaurant service tended to be a bit slow, but it just didn't matter.
The beach bar drinks are fantastic and the bartender friendly.
Watch out for the drinks at happy hour, they are not less in alcohol just because they give you two of them.
We went diving with Scuba Du several times and it was a great experience. Snorkeling right AT the hotel I saw a HUGE green Moray Eel and a large Manta Ray. Not a lot of color but a lot of fish.
Just remember, this is Mexico, if you want five star America, STAY in America. But you would be making a big mistake. I will be back to this hotel !!!!!!!
