We chose this hotel for its convenient location near Chichen Itza, Xcaret, and other tour destinations. One of the highlights was not having to wake up extremely early for pickups, which made excursions much more enjoyable.
However, several aspects of our stay were disappointing:
• Dining: The buffet offered the same food daily, which quickly became repetitive. Mama Mia restaurant was average, while the other à la carte restaurants were below expectations.
• Entertainment: The sports bar lacked atmosphere, and the billiard tables were in poor condition. The daily shows felt under-rehearsed, with the exception of the Human Neon and Pop Band performances, which stood out positively.
• Activities: Options were limited, especially since the Sunset area was under renovation. Children’s activities were restricted to the Princess Club, which requires membership.
• Spa Promotion: The advertised “free spa for two” was misleading. On arrival, we were directed to staff who pushed a timeshare presentation. We were told the spa was “subject to availability,” but if we attended the timeshare meeting, it became “guaranteed.” This approach felt deceptive.
• Security & Privacy: Our parents returned from a tour to find their luggage padlock broken, though thankfully nothing was missing. Additionally, housekeeping entered our room despite a “Do Not Disturb” sign being placed on the door.
