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.

The property has the potential to be a really great getaway for couples. It is outdated. The faucets were leaking. Hot water is shut off at night. No food is available after 11pm. Only a vending machine.

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.

We stayed here for a week. The property overall has no beach, 1 restaurant and a snack bar. The restaurant has the same breakfast menu every morning. They change the menu for the evening. The pool is missing tile. They had to change us room sin the middle of our stay due to a big leak in the closet. When going out for an excursion and asked to bring a towel with us, They would not allow us too unless we leave our ID we credit card. How are we should to show ID at the excursion with no ID or how are we suppose to purchase anything with no credit card.

Outdated.

Outdated and not very clean. It seems to me that this used to be condos then turned to hotel. The bed covers smelled old and the bathroom had mold. The best thing about this place is the pool and that's it.
