Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the jungle that they retained within the premises. also loved the water stations and the potable water quality. enjoyed the buffet although i dont like eating vegetable or commercial oils. didnt get to try the other restaurants. loved the ice cream station as well. had some difficulty understanding the beach sitting area arrangements/couldnt locate the beach towel station easily. tiered beachfront design waws nice. lots of kids, and they had family activities. would go back. just no choice for taxis (only cartel taxis could service the hotel which means you pay a higher price than normal)

The food options were not the best. The buffet never had any steak or good grilled chicken option, it was always ground beef or pork and some type of sautéed chicken. The hotel is nice and convenient I’m since you don’t have to go far to and from your room to go to the pool or beach.

Customer service was horrible ,most staff had a bad attitude. Except for the cleaning ladies , and the waiters in the Mexican restaurant. Wouldn’t recommend this place . If you love hearing No , and not even trying to see if there a possibility to help you then this place is for you . Been to Mexico before and this resort was horrible from the food which was very whatever , to how we were treated by the staff . Not worth it .
