The hotel was practically empty, with very few employees and limited dining options. It was also very isolated. The drink selection was extremely basic. Overall, I will never go back to that hotel. Very boring. Mind you I never write any reviews on any hotels or products but this hotel never again!!!!

I booked a 6-night stay for my birthday and had to leave after just one night. The room was unbearably humid and covered in black mold, which immediately triggered my asthma. I messaged the hotel right away with photos and explained my health concerns. They promised a manager would speak with me the next morning, but he was conveniently “unavailable” all day despite multiple attempts. The front desk offered another room, but I was too disgusted and worried for my health to stay. I checked out by early afternoon and moved to another hotel. Since then, the hotel has ignored all emails from me and Expedia requesting a refund. Extremely disappointed, this place is unsanitary and unprofessional.

Do not recommend pictures online way old Place is poorly maintained and not very clean. If you were to stumble on the place you would think it’s abandoned not one person I came across there thought it was a good place. It looked like it was once a nice romantic spot but it is mismanaged. The staff was nice but beyond that place is a dump

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was quiet and perfect for relaxing. The staff was excellent and very friendly. I gave it 4 stars as there were a number of areas that need to be addressed. Drawbacks - There is only one restaurant and the choices where very limited. I had to complain to the chef as the same menu was served three times during our stay. I must say that he did listen and changed it up. The infinity pool is the only feature of the property. However it does need a complete makeover. The pool has many loose tiles. The beach next to the property is not safe for swimming and has a lot of seaweed, but just down the steps on the one side you can walk a short distance to a safe swimmable beach. I understand that the property is under new management and a makeover is planed.

All in all the stay was great. Top notch food, the room was pretty clean and the staff was friendly. Thw jacuzzi tub in the room ran out of hot water by the time it was 1/4 of the way full which wasnt all that great. I think the bartenders, waiters and the staff made the stay a lot better. The location was much different than Cancun as you could not walk anywhere from the property except along the beach. It was a good mile walk from property to the main road and then 30-45min in either direction to get into town. Taxi to Playa Del Carmen ferry was 20$ ea way which was more than reasonable. Air conditioning in the room was non adjustable. It was either in or off as it controlled a the rooms which we managed fairly well as it was comfortable and maybe even a bit cold. Would we recommend the resort. Definitely. Would we stay there again. More than likely. We like to explore a lot more than we did so we will probably pick something a bit closer to town or at the very least along a bus line.

I wish I could give it 0 stars. The balcony doors do not close from inside. Traveling as a solo female, there’s nothing I value more that my safety. I brought the concern up with the receptionist and she brushed me off and said I shouldn’t be worried about it. Yeah. No thanks. Anyone can access it from outside. I had already made my mind up I was going the stay 1 night and leave the next morning. As I was getting ready to wine down for the day, I saw a roach. I made a video and sent it to them and told them I was gonna leave. She said she can send house keeper and I told them nope. There’s no way I was going to spend the night there knowing they got roaches. I packed up my stuff and left. I was told manager had to approve the refund. Since I didn’t stay single night but when it came down to it, neither this resort or Expedia wants to issue my refund because it was a non-refundable stay. It doesn’t matter that it’s non-fundable especially since I showed them video proof of the issue. I’ve disputed the charges with my back.
