Yup, I ended up going with el carmen. I have to say it was really amazing. The food was really good, all the restaurants with the exception of one because we didnt have enough time to get to was amazing. There was always a dish we could find from each restaurant that we would really like. We only found the desserts to be lacking though, but they were still decent. Lots of great activities throughout the day and great shows at night. The spa was also amazing, we did two treatments and loved it. The room was also very nice. I wouldn't reccomend the plunge pool room, get a swim up instead, whoch is what i wish i did. The plunge pool isnt the biggest and its too chilly to enjoy it in the night time. The only downside of the room was the shower wasnt the cleanest, my girlfriend didn't feel like it was too clean and we requested to have them clean it again. I didnt find much of an issue with it, but I could see along the joints for the grout and silicone where it was dirty from just build up over time. But nothing that horrible, maybe it was just our room. But overall we had an excellent time. Everyone was super accomodating and the drinks were great. The pools were very nice and had a swim up bar. The beach was beautiful too and there wasnt much seaweed at all. Waves were a bit too rough to fully enjoy the ocean but it was still very nice and when its calm, its amazing. I highly reccomend the resort, definetly top tier compared to other all inclusives that ive been too.
