That is mexican resort most of the staff don't speak English. One manager said that "I have to shut up I wiil speak with her" when I was looking for my son. This is an abnormal place if you are not mexican. I do not understand how you can treat hotel guests so that they spend 45 minutes to register because there are only 2 people who serve. If you not mexican don't go there
