I am never coming back to this resort. The food was not good. I barely ate. I ended up buying snacks from the convenient store because I did not eat much. The customer service was really bad. If you are not white, you will be treated poorly. Very disappointed…

Room was great for a family! It was pretty annoying that you’d have to give your room card every time you ordered a drink at the swim up bar or restaurant. Service was very slow so we ended up waiting a long time each time to get are key card back. If they’d remove the card issue the resort would have been a lot better.

We just returned from the RS on Saturday April 12 after a 7-night stay in an ocean front 1-bedroom deluxe suite. Now before I go into this review, I'll say that your experience is going to be decided by your expectations before you arrive. We have been to 7 or 8 resorts in Cancun from the top down to the bottom, so we know what we like and what's value for money. This place is fantastic. No you don't get a grand marble entrance / reception area but it's nice and very clean. The food is VERY GOOD for all inclusive. Especially the room service and the food from the pool bar. The shrimp tacos are the best I've ever had. The phase 1 pool is massive, plenty of room for everyone during our stay. The beach is beautiful, lovely white sandy beach with 3-400 feet of turquoise water in front of you. Drinks service to the beach was as good as around the pool, it helps if you drop them a $20 right off the bat. The servers are very friendly and very willing to help with any request. The buffet has a decent selection of food, very tasty. It is a bit dated in decor, but I don't see the value in paying more for fancy stuff I'm looking at for 15-20 mins a day. The food is good, that's what matters. We have already booked to go back in August this year and will probably make this our new vacation spot for the foreseeable future. Finally, it's not a Hyatt Zilara, not many are, so if you want the top end with all the frills you'll be disappointed. This is a SOLID resort when others are not.

No upgrade even though plenty of empty suites. Need to cook vegetables more thoroughly with dinner entrees. Servers Omar Efer Miguel Eduardo and Eliezer very professional. Great employees! Non members not very well treated trying to make reservations at Restaurante Sisal. Members could make reservations in advance but not all inclusive clientele. Need to stop asking for room card on beach for food and drink. When we want to go up for the evening have to hunt down the server. Very discouraging. Would stay here again just because of the servers mentioned above.

Very well established resort, not overly fancy like some others in the area. Clean but dated and they are also a time share. We had a very nice relaxing time and super close to shopping and cool restaurants. There needs to be more dining options and onsite night activities on the property. In the next 5 years it will need a facelift for sure!
