Room was decent. Service was horrible. Location was good. Amenities was ok. Breakfast was good but other meals were bad and limited. I got only the breakfast and room package so I can try nearby food in case if I don’t like what they offer and plus I like to experience around wherever I travel. Usually when I see hotel does all inclusive or bed and breakfast it’s usually buffet style but this one is not. Lunch and dinner also not buffet style and very limited option and supper expensive so we said let’s try outside surrounding restaurants. There was nothing nearby and you have to take a $30 taxi to go to nearest restaurant and delivery options almost not existing. Unfortunately when we stayed wasn’t the warmest weekend so we needed to turn the heat on but found out it doesn’t work so we told the front desk who sent the maintenance guys 3 times and still never got fixed and we wasted that whole day back and forth between front desk and maintenance and then they offered me another room at 9 pm after wasting the whole day by that time we were too tired to pack and unpack in another room. When I tried reach the manager to file a complaint he was never present and seemed to never wanted to address the issues and never made himself available or his staff claimed he’s gone or off because of a holiday. When they got me a taxi to take us to airport he asked for a lot more than what I paid before and was using profanity asking for more money

Clean hotel, great staff, great food. Hotel needs some TLC but overall in good shape. Had issues with the hot water, sounds like it's a boiler/heat source issue, could be resolved with a new boiler. Front desk very helpful and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp or in person. Beautiful views, very quiet hotel. Great staff, great food. Great place if you are looking to relax.

We booked Senses even though the reviews were mixed. We definitely weren't happy with the experience we had. The property needs some substantial repairs and maintenance. From the day we arrived, we had no hot water in our shower. We told the lobby staff and they sent the maintenance technician to our room. After several tries, he was able to get lukewarm water. We asked if the issue was just located to our room and we were told that this issue is throughout the hotel and that the water never gets hot. We overheard another couple telling the lobby staff about the lack of hot water. We were able to use the jet tub the whole length of our stay to bath as that did have hot water. We lost hot water in the tub the day before we were supposed to come home but they were able to fix it. We have messages back and forth on WhatsApp regarding both of these issues. The tub we had was cracked and also repaired in a few places. They also removed the shower head in the tub so you couldn't use it to shower. What appears to be a hot tub on the balcony is not. It's just a cold water immersion pool. The food was ok most days and be mindful of the all inclusive package. We were told via WhatsApp that their are limits to the premium alcohol based drinks you can have with your package. The service staff (servers) did all they could to make this an enjoyable experience. Santiago, Christian, and Mesero did an excellent job. I would recommend staying elsewhere until all of the issues can be fixed.
The only hot water in our room was this jet tub. We bathed in this our whole stay

What a phenomenal boutique hotel. I have never experienced a small boutique property quite like this one. Every room overlooks the ocean and is incredibly spacious—approximately 1,000 square feet—which made the stay feel extra special and serene. This is not a party hotel, as there are no organized guest activities. Instead, it’s a place designed purely for relaxation—perfect for enjoying the ocean views, the pool, and the peaceful atmosphere. Finding the hotel was a bit unusual, as it’s tucked deep into the forest, but that only added to the charm. It truly felt like a hidden gem 💎 with strong Tulum-style vibes. The all-inclusive experience was good, though not exceptional. There is only one restaurant, and the food options are somewhat limited. Portions are quite small, so you’ll likely find yourself ordering multiple dishes to feel satisfied.

Shuttle service did not show up and we waited an hour, later the front desk said he had to pay for my ride because we did not show up, we had what’s ap communication verifying the shuttle was not there, so we took alternate car. We finally arrived at 1 and they said the room would be ready at 2, we walked around and then at 2, they said 3, which was fine. We went to the store and got a few things and came back. They informed us our AC in our room went out, so they were trying to fix it. We waited until 6pm to get in, they comped dinner and drinks for the inconvenience. We got to that room and the sheets had a large stain on them of red color. We requested a new room, the room we received had ac and it was clean. Win? No. We had no water pressure and warm water at best. It was cold showers the entire time. We never complained about the water because by this time nothing was working and nothing was making it better. The food was not good, BUT BUT the service in the restaurant was amazing! The servers were everything! The food may be awful but the servers were perfect! Also, they have a hot tub but they need a 2 hour warning to put water in, we scheduled it for 9pm and let them know at 4pm. When we got ready to use it, it was not filled, cold water and terrible pressure. We gave up at this point. We tried everything to remain hopeful, but the final day when the front desk man named Thomas had an attitude about having to pay for the airport shuttle we didn’t show up to, I gave up

Avoid this hotel at all cost. We left after one night because the hotel was less than a 1 star. Everything was either run down, broken, dirty, or didn't work. On top of all of this, the hotel is a sex hotel where couples have sex with other guest. We didn't realize this until a man kept parading naked in front of his window and while taking a shower, left his curtains open for all to see. This prompted us to look at the hotel's actual website and that's how we found out. We tried to reach out to hotels.com for a refund on the day we arrived, but no luck. We left anyway and won't EVER be using Hotels.com or visiting this resort.
