My son has been hospitalized since 7/23. Begged and pleaded with resort to let me move my dates and was denied. Supposed to be 25th anniversary trip. Still in hospital. Lost everything. At least the airlines gave me partial credit but nothing from the resort. Heartless. I will take my wife to Cancun again but it won’t be with this chain.

Water went out for one day, no one seemed to care. Not beach front property. Drive you around in golf carts when most places you can walk but are not informed of this. Water doesn’t drain well on showers or sinks. Staff was friendly. Main pool was dirty & water was murky.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very kind but the food was not very good at all. For Mexican cuisine, I would imagine that they would have more flavorful food. Also the food and dining options were very limited compared to other resorts in Mexico that I have visited. If you do not catch a shuttle prepare to walk very far in the heat or wait a very long time for a shuttle to take you. Also if you are a lover if the beach I would not recommend this property because you cannot get into the water due to rocks, and the small cove was inaccessible during my stay.

We were there for 5 days. We have been to several riviera maya resorts, this one was one of the nicer ones. Pros: - quiet, relaxing -many pools to choose from -authentic mexican food -several restaurants serving authentic food from diverse places of the world (Italian/thai/mexican/indian) -loved their health bar with a wide selection of smoothies and protein shakes. Good options for vegans and vegetarians. - 4 excursions included with stay. This saves you a lot of money because excursions here are expensive! Our favorite excursion was going on the catamaran and snorkeling by the reefs. The beach at the excursion was gorgeous and had many onsite free activities like canoeing and paddle boarding. -we loved the fitness classes with Luis, their fitness instructor. Cons: -not much information given about certain activities that were happening. There was a mexican show, and the location of the show was not disclosed and we did not know there would be dinner served either so we had eaten before the show which was a bummer because they had authentic Mexican food, beverages, snacks, desserts! - restaurants don't have names on them. There aren’t many signs saying where places are. You have to follow the map they give you. - i would encourage them to work on their communication of activities, hype people up so that there is more participation! Suggestion: a snack bar open all day would be great. In case people want to snack on something without having to sit for a full meal.

We came for a third trip and enjoyed it just as much as our first time visiting. It is a large property, but there are shuttle carts around to take you where you want to go. We liked the small freshwater pool behind La Isla- we haven’t had that at other places. The staff is friendly and the property is beautiful. We really appreciated the More Inclusive addition now that includes transportation and many excursions to choose from that are already included - we loved the Catamaran/Maroma Beach one. We plan to rerun again soon!

During our stay we experienced multiple problems. To begin we were told we were receiving a “free upgrade” this put us in building 51. That was the furthest location away from all the activities we were there to attend. Although the shuttle service started at 7am it was very difficult to find one by our location that early in the morning. The first day we experienced no hot water and issues with our safe. The second day the hot water seemed to work but when we returned from the pool our room had no power. The front desk was notified and power returned not long after. Later that evening I was in the bathroom area of the room and there was a large bug that had made its way in to our room. I believe this bug to be a cockroach. We were able to capture this on film. The following day I did complain to the front desk yet again to explain our frustration. We were then given another room that was what we had paid for. The location was much more ideal. However, this room still did not have hot water. This seemed to be a known issue and yet we were still put in this building. The room had an odor. I know realize it was an odor from the mugginess. There was no fan in the room so the moisture of showering and wet clothing did not absorb. Our bed sheets were wet every night in the new room. We called for our sheets to be changed at least once and should have requested this each time it
