"The location is also great-just a short walk to the Malecon and Romantic Zone if you want to explore beyond the resort."

"But the ocean front restaurant is also open and honestly, who wants to eat inside versus on a balcony over looking the ocean?"

“Buenaventura Grand aims for broad appeal, particularly for families wanting an all-in vacation by the beach. I like that it's near the Malecon and downtown, a genuine plus. While some find the food inconsistent, the spa wins consistent praise-that alone might tempt me back for a short stay.”
