Really nice

Really nice hotel/resort. A couple of issues that were fixed quickly. The food is good but not sensational. Very relaxing, and a very friendly and helpful staff.

Great hotel. Wish they had coffee pots in the room
Lisa Ann, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The food options were awesome! We had actual Mexican dishes available to us, and a good variety of others. But we don’t go to Mexico to eat burgers and hotdogs or Italian food, (which they DO have available!) but obviously their native dishes are better. The staff is very kind and attentive always! Very helpful, we felt safe and we absolutely loved our time there!

Walking from the lobby through to the pool/beach area is like walking through a tropical jungle paradise, complete with a cenote. It is by far the most beautiful hotel grounds I have ever walked through.
