"Whala! Boca Chica is my home away from home, I love the quiet waters of the 'biggest pool in the world' which is Boca Chica beach, the convenience of all inclusive, the safety inside the hotel, the price, and above all, the great service of each and every one of the staff...the front desk, security, and specially the buffet service people that always make sure you feel like loyalty. Well done Whala! Boca Chica"
