"Review by 43 year old vegetarian American woman, Michigan, USA. Couples trip, middle of winter, end of February). Why The Pyramid? After reviewing over 50 resorts on The Hotel Zone, I chose The Pyramid because of long Hotel front on beach, long winding pool throughout property, lots of specialty restaurants and buffets, and I wanted an exciting night life/shows/performances. I got all of this! If you are on spring break and partying, you probably don't need to pay extra for The Pyramid and will likely eat at buffets and outdoor burgers/pizza etc. If you want the slower, more formal dining experience, definitely pay extra for the Pyramid access to more restaurants. I personally cannot eat at buffets every meal. Staff attitude and tipping: I was so scared from reading all the reviews that the staff would not be nice. But honestly, everyone was so nice and appreciative, and I never felt anyone waiting for a tip or asking for one. I personally felt compelled to leave a tip at the sit down restaurants because they were clearly working so hard and trying their best. My husband and I speak some Spanish, and speaking in Spanish greatly enhanced our experience. Try saying Buenos Dias, Buenos Tardes, etc. It goes a long way. But the pace here is much slower than the USA. In the US, it's "Do more, do it faster." In Mexico, it's "Do Less, do it slower " No one is in a rush and you need to expect everything to take longer and go slower. I wish I brought extra tip money. "

"Great"

"The resort is easily accessible from the airport. Property is a little dated but clean and staff is excellent. Ocean view room was worth the upgrade. The beach at the property is small and has eroded since last stay. Not a deal breaker, but there is better. Very walkable beach. Resort is smaller in size which is preferable for our liking. Pool options and entertainment were adequate. The largest drawback from previous stay was the food and restaurant’s. They restrict your options for booking specialty restaurants to 3 per stay. The food options and buffet are just ok. The food options and quality of food has regressed significantly. Best options were from the daily pool side “chef” events and pizza. For a seven day stay, food options and quality will have me looking for a better option in the future unless improved. We have stayed at better for the same price. Keep your great staff, but you have to improve your meals and availability. "
