This hotel is beautiful and clean staff very friendly food was great the only thing I don’t like is that they don’t provide you with WiFi you have to paid ridiculous price like $12 the day. You have to bring a lot of money if you plan to do any activity the prices for active are very pricey as well. $123 to go to Xcaret park per person... overall the hotel is beautiful

Rhis place is excellent, very clean, the personalities of the people are amazing. Only 2 downfalls ,the internet should not be charged extra which i am against. The sports bar was exceptionally elegant but with the worst people tables ever for somewhere so nice. But everything else is excellent ! First Class Experience !

Property was beautiful. Well managed. My only issues were that my room's bathroom ceiling leaked. The walls are thin-we listened to a baby crying in the room next to us all night. Also, there is no quiet pool to sit at unless you pay extra for Royal Level, which is insanely expensive. There aren't enough pool chairs for everyone. And housekeeping kept coming between 4 and 5pm. That's usually when we were done with our daily activites and wanted to nap or shower, and had to either turn them away, or sit in the room while they cleaned, which is awkward. There were never washcloths, and they have one sponge for 3 people. Mixed drinks were sometimes good, sometimes gross. One day I bought sunblock from one of the shops, and it was $10, and 2 days later the same product was $13. I think the clerk pocketed $3.Small annoyances. None of these should deter you from visiting this hotel, though. It was totally worth the trip. Food was good and plentiful, and I have picky kids. Staff (especially activities center) were so friendly and helpful. We did not get harassed regarding timeshares at all.Overall, wonderful experience. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

This is the biggest hoax I’ve ever experienced. I arrived to a completely different experience than what I signed up for. When I approached them about this, they said Travelocity promises people things to get them to buy it and since they aren’t Travelocity, they are not responsible. The all inclusive food that you can’t find due to the lack of signage and lighting, is actually not all inclusive, and the color of your wristband delegates what facilities you can eat in. Once you finally get to a facility that has food, you are told after at least 30 minutes of inconsistent and evolving information it’s for members only, or you can’t eat there because your boyfriend isn’t in slacks, or they are actually closed even though they are serving people. They will then offer to give you room service for an outrageous price and it’s the same food. Well a couple times I got lucky and had something to eat...so I thought. This food is atrocious. I am not picky and even this hoax managed to ruin cheese pizza. The only other meal I could choke down and was lucky enough to get past the mafia to eat was a plate (because they wouldn’t give bowls or spoons even though a lot of the food could only be consumed that way) of chocolate sauce and the most unripened tomatoes I’ve ever seen. I plan on exposing this for what it really is but my characters are up. Anyone can message me for more horror stories.
