I was there for two weeks with my wife and kids Girl 13 Boy 11 and here is my quick summary about Playa Naco.
Food was good. They have a guy who makes omelletes for breakfast, so i would always have a big breakfast and relly not eat again till dinner. On the days that i was a bit hungry i would go to the buffet or the Pizzaria located on the second floor for a small snack. You will find something you like at the buffet lots of choices. My wife and kids preffered the beach restaurant. They usually had chicken and fries and the beach grill.
Dinner, again lots of variety at the buffet so you will find something you like. 3 a la carte restaurants Seafood, Italian and Mexican. Seafood was good Italian was not bad and Mexican will lets just say i was never a fan of Mexican food to begin with. They also serve hot dogs,hamburgers and various other snacks fron 10:00pm till midnite, again on the second floor.
Drinks were awseome good beer El Presidente and all kinds of fruity drinks if thats what you like, me i stuck to the beer. On our first day there i ordered a beer and it was given to me in a plastic cup,tipped the bartender a couple of bucks and went back to the pool. Second time i went up ordered a beer , this time it was served in a glass cup about 50% larger, tipped the bartender a couple of bucks and went back to the pool. About 20 minutes later the bartender brought me over a glass of beer without me even asking. So basically you take care of them and they will take care of you, i mean your on vacation i did not tip after every drink but a couple of bucks a day goes a long way. Remember this people do not get paid that much.
Same thing goes for the maids we brought along some panty hose, lipstick and a few other knick nacs from home. Again we gave the maids a few of these items and a couple of bucks the first day, we never had a problem with our room. It was always made up and clean, and the fridge always had soda and beer in it every day.
I know some people may disagree with tipping but in the 14 days we were there we tipped about a total of $100.00 American and we never had a problem. That works out to about $7-8 dollars a day. Just think of it as piece of mind.
The entertainment staff was good they worked very hard during the day organising games for all. Beach volleyball water polo and all kinds of other games to keep you busy, if you wanted. Nightly shows were also good, lots of audience participation.Watch of for some of the guys in the show they can be pretty smoth, and they are great dancers. Could see a girl falling for them.Oh and they had Karaoke every Thursday night.
Once the shows end you might want to try one of the local clubs located just outside the resort. Crazy Moon was a great place to party and dance all night.Hemmingways was also a lot of fun. The disco in the resort was pretty dead the few times we went.
All in all we had a great time. Just go there with an open mind abd enjoy yourself. Don't sweat the small stuff that might go wrong, no vacation is perfect.
I hope my quick review helps.
