My husband, my sister, her boyfriend and I went to Ocean Coral & Turquesa for my 30th birthday and I have NEVER had a WORSE experience.
Started off with being unable to get an uber from the airport to the resort. And having to pay 1600pesos for a taxi!
At check in everything was ok, until we needed to pay an “environmental tax” fee of 500pesos for beach cleaning cause the seaweed is bad, which is understandable. However while we were there I didn’t see a single person on the beach cleaning the seaweed, the beach STUNK and there were PILES of seaweed on the shoreline. Walking by the beach you had to hold your breath just to manage. The smell took over the whole resort, unless you were indoors. Everything after that seemed to go ok, food was mediocre, nothing that I would rave about.
On day 2 we decided to check out their jetski excursion that they have advertised at the pool. 1450pesos for the excursion which was reasonable, but wait! Don’t forget you have to pay 1650pesos for the taxi alone!! More than the actual excursion, because we “couldn’t take an uber”! We had to take a taxi to their sister resort to actually use the jetski because their beach was NASTY and unusable, completely full of seaweed.
Day 3 We were then talked into doing a massage. The initial massage was great the service was wonderful. They even tried to get us to do another one, which we agreed to do another day. Unfortunately we were unable to go to the second massage due to severe sunburns. So just
