We just came back from a seven night all inclusive stay at the Canto and had a great time. We got a newly refurbished room with a 32 inch LCD TV. It was very clean with nice decor and new furniture. Every day the tile floors were even washed. The hotel has very good upkeep. They were even doing some painting outside as we arrived. The grounds were meticulously kept tidy. The pool area is postcard perfect. We had a voucher to go eat in the restaurants but the buffet was so good we didn't bother making a reservation for the restaurant. Being a picky eater, I had no problems with the food at all. You can have your breakfast made to order and sit by the ocean or have breakfast at the buffet. The afternoon and evening buffet has lots of variety and I loved the dessert selection. The activities staff keep you entertained. They have programs going from morning to afternoon. They are fun to watch and you can get involved if you want to. They also put on a different themed dance show each night at 8pm which are entertaining. They must spend a fortune on dance costumes. The pirate ship that puts on a show nightly sails by at about 9:30pm and shoots off a few fireworks as well. The waiters will bring you drinks often and tipping encourages you will get good service. Sometimes the drinks were watered down but we were not there to get drunk anyways and we certainly had our fair share of drinks. The location is very good. There are two big stores within a block walking distance. You can take a cab for 50 pesos downtown or ride the bus for 5.5 pesos(50 cents) and see the Malecon and nightlife.
