Horrible experience. The hotel lost power and their generators weren’t working we had no AC. Everyday they would say it would be fixed by tonight and it took them 5 days to fix it. My three year old daughter fainted due to their negligence. My poor baby was so hot at night she became dehydrated by the morning. Do not waste your money here.

Everything was good to relax and food was delicious. What we didn't like was the walking from building 22. There was never transportation and if we saw in some time, they just told us "we have other people waiting" "we are not available". They would drive their people. We just had a ride when leaving the hotel on our seventh day because they saw us with our heavy suitcases.

I stayed at the resort with my family and boyfriend June 2-9.It was our first time staying at this resort but we definitely enjoyed it! We loved how close Xcaret was. All the staff was super friendly! Special shoutout to the staff at the steakhouse! Chef Ozuna came out and greeted us at our table and the food was amazing and the hostess and servers were very hospitable and friendly! The food at the steakhouse and the Italian restaurant was really good! I loved how many pools there were and seeing all the wildlife. I’m already planning on going back in December with my sister!

We loved how convenient it was to Xcaret. My only issue was the AC in my room didn't seem to want to get very cold. It was ok, just not as cold as I like

Our room was so humid our clothes were wet and the comforter had mildew on it and it smelled rancid. It was so uncomfortable. We had no wash clothes, or a blow dryer.
