World class. Will 100% return.

World class at every level. The facility was incredible. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Grounds were perfectly manicured. Pools were immaculate. The restaurants were excellent. The food was very, very, very, high quality as were the cocktails (a lot of which were originals). We stayed in grand class and it was 100% worth it. The staff was the literal best and most attentive I’ve ever experienced at any resort in the world.
Fadi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is spectacular; the pools are clean, the gardens are beautiful, and the rooms exceed your expectations. The beach had a lot of seaweed, but they made an effort to keep it clean and enjoyable.

10/10 Exceptional

I went to this resort for my son’s first birthday and it was exceptional. I chose the hotel because it was rated highly for its service geared towards babies and they exceeded my expectations.

Our favorite resort in the Cancun/Playa del Carmen area. It is indeed a five star hotel. The service is excellent, the rooms are great, the dining options are fantastic. The beach and pools are wonderful.
Anamaria, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Top notch service and food! This resort is absolutely beautiful and clean. The spa is a must, it is fabulous! We could not eat at the Michelin Star restaurant which was very disappointing. The earliest reservation was for 9:45pm, which is very late. I wish I would have known to book dinner reservations ahead of time. There was no way to get an earlier reservation the entire week we were there. Everything at this resort was just amazing!
Claudia, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent resort. Great service. I would have given this resort a 5/5 but there simply is not enough pool/beach chairs for everyone at the family ambassador pool. You need to be there for 715am in order to get a chair. For the price we paid this is unacceptable. Also the service at the Italian restaurant was sub par. The ground are beautiful and the beach is great. Emmanuel and Fatima at the pool service were outstanding. Aaron was an awesome personal concierge. Please fix the pool chair situation and will come back.

The hotel upgrade my stay,Unfortunately the 2 bed reservation was not respected, On the second day of my stay the hotel wanted to resolve the situation, being on the beach I did not wanted to loose time and effort, the hotel is exceptional - in this particular situation it was the staff who did not show interest to try to resolve the problem - it was until I asked the following day that Nora reacted to my situation.
