The Bottom Line:

With private beaches, various outdoor pools, available water sports and a state-of-the-art gym, the Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort Villas sits directly on Mexico’s Costa del Sol. Guests raved over the spaciously modern guestrooms (Wi-Fi access is available), stunning oceanfront views, and swim-up bars. Despite the resort’s inflated prices, visitors appreciated its on-site market (although within close proximity is the more affordable La Isla shopping center). Also highlighted was the resort’s newly revamped exterior, and while guests occasionally mentioned smaller-than-expected rooms and fitness facilities, most enjoyed their functionally elegant layouts.
