I have been traveling to Mexico for 18 years and this was my first disappointment. The staff were so unfriendly. One of the reasons we continue to travel to Mexico is the hospitality of the people. The staff were working very short and it showed. From groundskeepers to wait staff everyone had a scowl on their face and appeared displeased if you asked for anything. Service in the restaurants was very poor as there was typically only 1 server. Lines at the bars for drinks were very lengthy. The only friendly people we encountered were the people trying to sell you vacation packages. Fortunately the food was better than most all inclusive resorts otherwise the week would have been my worst vacation to date. I understand tourism is down and resorts are trying to save money but 1 staff member per bar or restaurant is absurd and abusive to the staff.

Hello dear Kelly, we appreciate you sharing your experience with us, we know that feedback is important for continuous improvement in our service. Your opinion is of the utmost importance to us since without it we would not be able to know what are the things that were unpleasant for you during your stay. Now that you share the areas in which we must work more, we will pass them on with the corresponding departments so that they can implement an action plan and make the corresponding improvements in our service. We regret not being able to exceed your expectations. Best regards

Overall the resort is very pretty has lots of fountains and statues beautifully maintained garden areas. Most of the stuff for her friendly and very helpful however it does seem that they are shortstaffed and it can take a while to get something such as a drink at the Buffet, pools and beaches. But all the stuff for working very hard to ensure that you had what you needed at all times. The food was fairly average it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t wonderful or memorable. Overall for the cost it was a great vacation. One improvement is definitely the Wi-Fi horrible you can not even send or receive texts on it.

It would be a pleasure for us to welcome you again. Greetings.

Overall a great resort from food to amenities and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating! We stayed at the villas which was super cool but no one told us until our second to last day that we were supposed to get a special dinner (which was past the date), free breakfast at their luxury restaurant and a free massage. Only other issue was the beds were like sleeping on planks so not the most comfy. Would’ve been 5 stars if it wasn’t for the above. Overall minor stuff but still wouldn’t been nice to know it so we could’ve taken advantage. Food, staff and amenities were all great so would definitely stay again for the price. If you’re looking to stay on property for most of your stay, great spot! If not, it’s about 30-45mins to Tulum, 2.5-3 hours to Kithen Itza (not a bad drive) and some other site seeing places.

BEWARE!!! “ROOM SERVICE AND POOL SERVICE” are not included in all the INCLUSIVE PACKAGES. The food is not at par not like the last time I was there. The ocean water is brown, not swimmerable and has a foul smell. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED!

We loved the Villas where we stayed. Private quiet and private cabanas and a pool and Jacuzzi. It felt like we were the only ones there. Edith our concierge made booking easy and helped us with our spa day. What we did not like was check in. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to check in. It was loud and crazy but they did there best to check us in.

When we chose this location, the reviews had a 4.1-4.5 star rating -- by the time we returned, it was down to 3.6. Please note upfront there is a tax that has to be paid when you leave and the check-out process is over an hour long. These pieces of info will impact your departure. The facilities are spacious and beautiful but we had challenges from the moment we arrived. I paid for a room with 2 queen beds and got only 1 king; our room didn't have a safe or bedding when we walked in. They delivered a safe and bedding after multiple requests but the safe never worked. We were supposed to have access to a mini-bar but they rarely stocked it (and didn't stock the coffee either). The food was decent. The gym and kids clubs are all closed due to COVID, which is understandable but not advertised anywhere, which were a couple of the reasons I chose this location. My son was bummed to say the least. The taco stand by the pool is for sure the best food you will find. And there were a couple of fantastic servers. I can think of two, but much of the staff is unresponsive and also possibly overwhelmed. They clearly do not have enough staff on hand to manage the crowds at this location. We made the best of it and had a great time drinking margaritas, swimming and doing tours, but will not be returning to this location.

They do not have enough employees, when its rain the rooms leak water and they need to change your room and it will take a whole day to get another room. Cleaning is ok, Food is ok, just to have a full belly. They plates and glasses are not that clean. Make sure to look at them very well before use it. You have to pay a fee when you get there per each night of your staying. The pool are big and the place is beautiful. The beach was full of seaweed but that has to do with the weather not the hotel. It was raining every days. If you want to enjoy the beach try to travel from August

A brilliant, stunningly wonderful place to spend our honeymoon. What a joy! The food, the service, the beauty are truly unparalleled. It would be impossibly to convey here what an amazing, palatial, kind-staffed resort this is!! But it was beyond my highest hopes or expectations in every respect.
