We come to Cancun a few times a year. Chose this resort because it was new. Beds/pillows were terrible- and service was the worst we’ve ever had at any resort. Servers/staff did not seem happy, especially bartenders. Pools are small, and the temps were off. Food was mid. Our friendliest waitress was Ana in the buffet every morning. Without her service- this would have gotten 0 stars. We had this trip booked for months, and when we arrived they tried putting us in 2 double beds with no upgrade option. The whole thing from start to finish was terrible. Save your money & go somewhere else.
