This resort was absolutely beautiful. So lush! The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort is huge so my only con was getting lost. All the buildings look identical with no numbers to guide you. The shuttle service was fantastic, but sometimes you just want yo walk to enjoy the property..,but kept getting lost. Huge pro, THE FOOD! Omg! The buffet was amazing! I will definitely be back!

It was our 25th wedding Anniversary. We loved our swim-out room. The staff and our concierge, Leonardo were fantastic. Our only issue was that we stayed during the rainy season in September, which is no fault of the resort. It literally rained for our entire 5 night stay.

First time in Mexico and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The resort was amazing in every way—from its beauty, variety of pools, and short walk to the beach, to the entertainment and endless food options. The entire hotel was very clean, and it’s clear that guest safety is a top priority here. The staff worked so hard, always with a smile, despite the long hours and the challenges of dealing with difficult tourists. Our room was spotless (even under the bed—impressive! lol). Every staff member we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. I honestly have nothing but good things to say about this resort, and we definitely will be back! We also had a massage, and it probably was the best massage I ever had. The outside air and atmosphere definitely added to an amazing experience.

We are VIP Expedia members, and unfortunately, this hotel did not meet our expectations. While we understand that a room upgrade was unavailable, the bigger issue was with the “free spa” that was advertised at booking. There were no conditions stated, but when we requested the spa service, they told us we had to attend a timeshare presentation first. After reporting this, the only thing they offered was two basic foot spas with no real compensation. Another major concern: there is no doctor on site. If you get sick, they send you to a hospital, which costs about $200 USD plus an additional 1,000 MXN for a cab. The food was another huge disappointment — the same meals were served every single day with very limited restaurant choices. The pools were plain and boring, and many guests brought their own speakers for music. The beach was no better — quiet and dull, with no music or vibe. The bars also only serve drinks and do not offer any food. Overall, this hotel is misleading in its advertising and lacks the basic amenities and services you would expect. Definitely not recommended.

I stayed at this hotel for a 6 days, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food was the biggest letdown — they served the same dishes every single day with no variety or options to choose from. The à la carte restaurant was no better; the quality of the food was very poor. In terms of activities, there was nothing much offered. The only things to do at the hotel were to swim in the pool or the beach. It quickly became boring and repetitive. If you plan to stay here, I highly recommend booking tours outside the hotel so you can at least try different food and have something else to do. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place for a long stay. Imagine spending a whole week eating the same food every day with no entertainment — definitely not worth it.

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.

The property was nice, needs some updating in areas, but they’re working on it. It’s a little far from the airport, about 45 min drive. The food is ok, not terrible, but not great. But the staff is awesome, everyone was happy and helpful. My husband and I had a great time.
