The whole service treatment was decadent.  It was amazing.
 
 It has certainly spoiled us for anything else.

 It was definitely decadent to have your lunch and drinks delivered to you at your beach chair, or even by the pool.

Welcome back !!!
 
 Nice to hear you had a wonderful time, how could you not looks like a beautiful resort, that would sure spoil me too !
 
 How were the mossies ? with only 35 people there did they have any nightly shows ? Do they expect more business in the future ? I'm thinking on booking there or Meliá Cayo Santa María for Oct 21st.

thanks for the welcome back, but I wish I was still there.
 
 The mozzies were bad but then they started fogging and it wasn't too bad after that.  
 The noseeums would sneak up on you though.     :D
 
 If you are thinking of going to this area, then I would highly recommend Ensenachos.  For the price there is no comparison to the Melia.
 
 There was no nightly entertainment, but one night they brought in the Cuban Symphony Orchestra that played in the lobby.  They were fabulous.
 
 They will be having entertainment once the occupancy level increases, but it wasn't worth it for so few guests.
 
 They are expected more guests, and by December they expect that they will be in full occupancy mode.  They already have bookings for Dec, Jan and Feb.
 
 Now is the time to go, and enjoy it while it's quiet.

Wow - gorgeous photos, I can't wait to see more of them!
 
 Heather and John, you were so fortunate to enjoy that gorgeous resort before the hordes descend!  My only question, are you concerned about your standards now being raised so high that you'll never be able to settle for less in a resort?  
 
 Welcome back!

Laura, we certainly enjoyed the pampering but I don't think it totally spoiled us.
 
 If I book a 3 star resort then I go with the expectations of a 3 star.  
 
 Ensenachos is advertised as a 4.5 star, but once it is fully operational it will be Cuba's only true 5 star resort.
 
 If you want pampering, then this is the place to go because they cannot do enough for you.  
 
 It's not going to be a lively activity filled type of place.  It is for the clients that want peace and quiet and tranquillity.
 
 It may not be for everyone, but we certainly enjoyed it.

Ah, the sign of a great traveller Heather.  You go with realistic expectations, I wish others would do the same.  There's nothing worse than someone booking a 3-star and expecting 5-star service.

:7:  Flopnfly:  Welcome back!  That really  must have been 7 Days in Paradise!  What a beautiiful resort!  I was surprised to see so many flowers and so much vegetation in such a new resort.  I am glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for sharing your pictures so soon.

It really looks fantastic Heather and John.
 
 We took a tour of Princesa del Mar in June and the architecture at RHE reminded me a lot of that resort.
 
 From looking at your pictures, RHE looks like it is on a bit of an inlet, is that the case?
 
 So when are you returning?  Is it the new locale for the 7 days trip in April?  :D

Great pictures.  The resort looks beautiful.  It's weird to see all the different  areas and yet it looks deserted.
