“This Bocagrande all-inclusive struck me as an interesting option for families, mainly because of its broad range of activities and central location-plus, the mosaic-tiled pool seemed like a nice touch to cut down on noise. I think the all-inclusive plan, which includes meals and drinks, is a considerable advantage if you're traveling with kids and want to keep things simple. However, considering the age and mixed reviews, potential guests should go in with measured expectations.”
