I had some concern about staying here due to the negative reviews but was very pleased overall. The outside facilities (pool/beach/soda bar/tennis courts/activites) are outstanding. We stayed in the older building with a great ocean view and the rooms are huge and accomidated a family of five with ease. Yes the decor is a little outdated but perfectly nice.

The resort overall is very charming and and ideal for a family with tons to see and do. We did spend time visiting the Marriott Harbor beach next door and while the facilities are also nice it was very crowded and lacked all the charm.

I dont understand why peolpe would complain about Lago Mar. Grumpy disposition?

We stayed at the Lago Mar one night prior to a cruise and had a fabulous experience. Our travel agent recommended this property and it was lovely. Our suite was gorgeous and the staff was very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again.

We just returned from a spring break trip and found Lago Mar to be a great family vacation. The private beach, the pool overlooking the ocean, the hammacks, playground, bar, spa, and great food were a wonderful getaway for our family! We received nothing but excellent service and we will definately be returning!

6/6 found this review helpful

we stayed in a large 2 bedroom suite overlooking the ocean. The suite was enormous, enough to sleep 6. The views out over the wide sandy beach fantastic. The place is expensive, but is caterers for a particular market. The rooms are clean & tidy, the decorations is a little over the top and dated, perhaps a refresh is required soon. It has just been purchased by the Ritz Carlton group so this will only lead to great investment in the future. One may think that investment in the place would slow down before the completion which will be in 2 years, so have a look at later reviews to ensure the standard remain high. the only problem we had was consistantly with the room service food, perhaps the chef had the week off as the other restaurants were more than adequate.

I would give everyone the tip of insisting on the ocean views and get it in writing as we had to change rooms to get the one we thought we were originally promised over the phone. All of the room still have great views over the lovely pool area.

They have a resident Iguana by the pool that is happy to eat the flowers while you drink your cocktails by the pool.

I would stay there again without doubt, and will definately when the Ritz Carlton deal comes off.

Nothing exciting, tired rooms and paint, nice location on the beach, most balconies have pleasant views, front office staff curt and not willing to go the extra mile, off the beaten path with nowhere to really walk to, acceptable as basic accommodation with acceptable service and a godd beach location, No reason really to avoid or go.
