I completely concur on all counts. I'd only add that in my many stays at the LM, we've seen precious few children. (Granted, I don't go during traditional family times like Cmas/New Years or Spring Break.) Every time I've been on property at the Lagunamar, there has always been a preponderance of families and lots of little kiddies. I think that's the nature of Lugunamar with so many timeshares that attract families.
For my part, I treasure silence and peacefulness, so it's always the LM for me. Another massive bonus is that, unlike so many other Mexican resorts, the LM does NOT play intrusive music at the pool -- a huge plus for me!
