pools open at 9, waterpark opens at 10am. Bar service at pools opens at 10am. Many people reserve chairs with towels before 9am. We also swam in the pool before 9am some days, but no guarantee that all the pool cleaning is done before 9am.

Our experience was similar to Martin’s. Lots of vendors walking back and forth on the beach, but they are generally friendly and will leave you alone if you say no thanks. They also usually remember you from day to day. The beach felt super safe for our 8 and 11 year old girls with us generally around. The waves were rough, so going in the water is adventurous, but locals and resort staff will point out where the safer spots are in the surf if you do want to get in the water. Surfing is big but not disruptive to others on the beach or in the ocean. Security was present but not overwhelming so. And like Martin said, they seemed on good terms with the local vendors but would also ask them to leave if it was getting to be too much. Pretty balanced and civil from what I saw.

The arcade was fine, a little costly for what's on offer but it's ok. Lots of VR games, and a fun bowling alley too. We didn't get a price on the unlimited pass, but some folks suggested $200 would get you a lot. We did the bowling once and arcade twice, they have pricing for how long you want to stay in (1hr, 30min, etc.) For the three visits I think we spent around $90USD, approx. and we totally felt like that was plenty.

Prosecco and every top shelf bubbly and alcohol is definitely available. I noticed that there are VIP bars and pools, which is where we spent some of our time, so check to make sure that you get the upgraded package. There’s also a VIP indoor area where you can sit, relax, have drinks and nibble on delicious hors d’oeuvres.

Looks like you have already received a number of great answers but I thought I would add my two cents. We have been going to this property for the last decade and have probably been a dozen times. Our kids started going when they were 6 or so and we've always had a great time. There is a teen club at night along with an arcade and bowling alley. The water is indeed filtered and bottled water is available. All the amenities are great and we have never had issues with the quality of service or food. The lazy river has always been big enough for us, although keep in mind you are going to a family-oriented mid-price resort, not one of Hyatt's higher end properties, so you can expect crowds here and there. The beach is beautiful, although not the crystal clear water that you might see elsewhere. One nice thing about this resort from our perspective is that it is quite compact, although it has all the amenities of the larger resorts. It is easier to get around and involves less walking. We have taken a handicapped friend there on several occasions just for that reason. If you choose to upgrade to the preferred club which I would highly recommend, ask for Eribilto. He is a wonderful "butler." If you choose to go, upgrade to the private transportation option from the airport, it makes your life much easier, and by all means, enjoy a warm Presidente beer from the vendor in the airport parking lot, our family tradition! Lol.
