This was my third time at an all inclusive in Mexico and my least favorite resort of the three. That being said it was also the least expensive and for the price probably a good deal. When we checked in we requested to upgrade to gold bracelet so we could get in the adults pool and said we were willing to pay the price, we were told instead we had to go to a 2 hr time share presentation to get the bracelets. This was not how we wanted to spend our first morning in Mexico but did it anyway- if not for this situation I probably would have rated this place a lot higher. The staff was outstanding though, Elena from the spa and David who cleaned the rooms were both incredibly friendly and helpful.

I usually don’t write bad reviews but we were pretty disappointed in this location. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone. Not only were we sick for a full day but we repeatedly got sales phone calls. We tried to get help cleaning the room and had to flag down people in the hallway to get help in addition to making calls to guest service. Animal feces in hall. My son refused to eat at the buffet the rest of the stay. We ate at Chayita’s on the last night. Only for me to have bones, fat chunks and plastic wrap in my dish. The steakhouse was bad, medium well shouldn’t be bleeding. The maps were inaccurate and it took way to long to get answers or help. It seems the only employees who knew English were the salespeople. The bathroom offers absolutely no privacy by any means. The location should not be considered “on the beach”, only those who are adult only or VIP had steps to the beach where the rest had to ride a trolley. My sons goggles were stolen and when I asked an employee their response was someone probably took them. Suggested I look for people with them on. Rust in pipes when tub started. No one helped with luggage, bell boy actually opted to help a couple with no kids. The description also says snacks in the mini bar but we never had any. Lastly the temp for the pool near the beach should have a warning on the temperature it gets. After being in the ocean and going to that pool it felt like a hot tub. Very dangerous especially for little kids.

Edgardo (our concierge) was awesome. He took care of us. Check in: Fairly easy and greeted by Edgardo. Thank goodness we had him to help us. We stayed in the family section. Rooms were average. A/C only had off and on. No way to make it cooler. Not much space for storage. The room shared a door with the suite next to us and we could hear their screaming toddler 4 times a day for 20 minutes each time. The family section USED TO BE at the front of the resort. Now it is at the far rear. Staff was great. Food was decent. 90% of the guests were great. 10% of them let their kids run wild and ruined experiences quickly. Screaming toddlers, kids with water guns shooting you in the face, small kids running in circles around the lobby almost knocking people down. Teen club isn't a teen club. It is parents with their small kids. The seaweed was bad. Not the resorts fault. One day we left and went to Cozumel and bought a day pass at Allegro. It was the most relaxing wonderful day. Their beach was awesome. If you are staying in the family area ask a month in advance to be in a room closer to the beach and on the 2nd or 3rd floor. The 1st is noisy with people always walking by your room. Tips for the resort: Get new music. Playing the same music on a loop all day annoying. I'd rather hear local music than Grease 16 times a day. Hire security or staff to police the family pool. Don't allow water guns. Don't allow small kids to sit at the swim up bar.

This property did not mention that 1/3 of the facility is adult only. There is also construction going on the grounds. The room was dirty, the curtains were filthy, and the bed was very hard The family area was about a 15 min walk to the beach. The beach area pools were small and the staff in that area was not very friendly. Ran out of items for drinks and there was trash and garbage all over with no staff around picking up. The game room was not fully functional with at least 3 broken games, no staff, no cups for beverages. The food was less than average. Elevators around the lobby were not functioning all the time. Tried to schedule a timeshare visit during check in and really gave no option of not going. When we did not show they called our room 5 times at 8am. We booked for 4 nights and ended up leaving after 2 and took the $$ loss.

Resort is pretty good. Hotel staff is very friendly. For an American, the food seems a little bland and drinks are also not strong. Wait times for dinner can be long due to high demand, so make reservations. The transportstion cart from the rooms to the beach is convenient but can occasionally run behind. Utilize the bikes if planning to venture a little outside the resprt as 5th Avenue is only a few minutes away and is a must see in the area.

Beautiful hotel, had consistent problems with the Wi-FI and kept getting different responses with everyone shrugging off the issue instead of solving it. Food was average. Bathtub when turned on had brown water. Outdated TV services
