Hey there, the food was really good. We really enjoyed Kibi Kibi which there is a fee for non-Artistas guests, and Tah-Xido was pretty good too. I would highly recommend you book the brunch at Las Cuevas which is also free for Artistas guests. The food and selection there was top-notch.
I don’t believe it was, a couple of overcast days it was a little chilly but still totally swimmable. The pool gets all day sun so it heats up pretty quickly.
