La Penita de Jaltemba Vacation Packages

We liked our room and amenities in general, sleepers would have been a good option. The pools were clean and the service at the pool and beach was excellent. We found the food to be pretty good but the drinks not so much. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant and the food was nice, the service was as bit slow, it felt understaffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and probably be back.

An honest review from someone who doesn't usually go to All-Inclusive. We spent over Easter with three kids (7,5,4) and had a blast. The water slides were a huge hit; the beach was very nice, and kids played in the waves and boogie-boarded. The pools were also very nice, and you had choices between the "louder pool" and the calmer one. There were other activities for the kids to do throughout the day, which was nice. The staff was great; I only had positive experiences with all of them. The room was good and did the job. The food was iffy at times. Breakfast was OK with all the staples. The lunch at Labamba was burgers and hotdogs. It was not ideal for parents, but the kids liked it. We were lucky to have dinner most nights at the Ala-cart restaurants, which were perfect. We didn't have food for two nights, and it was not good. There was nothing for kids to eat at seafood night, and sometimes, the food was not edible. We knew this going in. The drinks were great as well, and there was a good selection. Overall, this place is excellent for the price; kids had so much fun, as did adults. If you don't get reservations at the restaurants, consider a short cab to many restaurants around.

We generally enjoyed our stay! 4.5 overall. Grounds and beach: 5/5 Room: 5 we had an ocean view suite and it was fabulous - #3422 Staff: 5 (Efren at Divum was an absolute delight!) Food: Divum: 5, everywhere else 4 - 4.5 Music: 1 Terrible techno music near the pool in afternoons that I suspect few of the guests actually liked, otherwise 5 earlier in day Activities: 3. Wished they offered yoga daily. The rental system at the beach was limited/overprices/unclear. If you’re into being active, the resort is fairly limited- no tennis/pickleball courts, No lap pool, etc.

We loved the resort itself. The kids' pool was a draw for us and it didn't disappoint. The proximity to a beautiful quiet beach was lovely. The pool was never so busy that we couldn't find a chair for our belongings, and the staff were fantastic. The food was incredibly disappointing, both buffet and restaurants. The desserts were not good - everything had a strange gelatinous consistency. We really disliked that not only was there no poolside service, but we couldn't even get food and bring it poolside. To get a snack we had to pack up our toddler and bring her into a restaurant. There were family friendly shows, but everything was after 8 pm so we couldn't take advantage of them as they were simply too late for our toddler. We did enjoy this resort, but we will likely choose a different one next time.

Good value for the price
