Needs a major update and our room’s air conditioning did not work. They did not offer me a new room only a fan. The staff said there was not any rooms until I showed them I could rent a room still with Expedia. They finally gave me a room with air. The showers have mold and the water was rusty when you first turned on. The beds felt wet and were very uncomfortable.

Julietta did an amazing job! After our romantic dinner on the beach was not properly communicated, Julietta got us in for dinner and scheduled the beach dinner for the next night. It wasn't our anniversary the next day, but it DID rain, just as on our wedding day. Julietta had our room decorated while we were having dinner. She was great the entire stay!

Can't beat this property for the price. Sure there are fancier places, but this is great for a getaway if you are not picky. If you are a picky person, stay away. I can't emphasize that enough. Taxis are very cheap around there and there is plenty to do as far as excursions. There are 2 restaurants to choose from. The furniture in the rooms need updating as well as the showers. I was in room 1511. Great view, cold AC and fast elevators. Very close to the airport and very friendly people. Love the swim-up bar they had. Again, if you want the most modern decor and are picky, dont go here. All in all, I would go back here for future vacations.

Overall it wasn't a bad experience. However, there are some things that could be better. For example, the outside dining bar often had dishes left open and birds were able to get into the food. The facility is quite old which could be charming, but the gym equipment was the worst.

Whatever you do, make sure you get a room on the newer side of the hotel! Our first day and night there, was miserable. The beds were rock hard and the food wasnt good. The rest of our stay they let us switch to a new room and its a night and day difference! To get better food, you can order off their menus instead of eating at the buffet. To enjoy their only dining restaurant, you have to get up at 730 and go and stand in line down stairs to make reservations, otherwise itll get booked and youre out of luck. Overall its a good hotel and we enjoyed our stay. Y9u get what yiu pay for, as others have said. PS... Get a room in the newer side of the hotel!!!

I felt this property lacked in "outstanding" customer service. Very minimal towels. Asked for our room to be cleaned and it was not. Had to personally go to the front desk to get clean towels. TV did not work at all. Thought the AC worked, it never seemed to reach its temperature, so the compressor ran all day and all night when attempting to sleep. Even for an All-Inclusive resort, the food was very below standards. Very minimal selection. Bar staff was not engaging or outgoing at all.

La ubicación es regular, el servicio es el peor, a tal punto que les pasas por el lado y ni los buenos días, las habitaciones son del siglo XV , el agua es salada en el lavado y en la ducha, la iluminación pararece apagón con velas, el baño parece de una terminal, all inclusive?? A que precio! el HELADO se acaba antes de que llegues al restaurant la comida es de tercera, las opciones son escasas muy escasas, y ni hablar de la barra, solo tienen un tipo de cerveza la cual ligan con agua, al igual que tooooodas las demás bebidas alcoholicas, aguadas y sin sabor a nada…bueno si, saben a agua… por otra parte reservé una suite de dos camas con vista al mar y resulta que me dieron una sola cama porque según la señora es según la disponibilidad, pedí cambio de habitación y me dijeron que lo que más podían hacer por mi era darme una cama extra,…. Me trajeron un catre, como si me hubieran regalado la estadía aquí y que estuvieran haciéndome un favor….. las habitaciones no tienen mini bar, el aire acondicionado no tira aire, las sábanas no las cambian… y podría seguir escribiendo…muy triste todo y horrible, gracias por arruinarme mis vacaciones honestamente evítense venir a este mugrero, no veo la hora de largarme de aquí y JAMÁS regresar!

The rooms floor 5 and above have a nice balcony and an excellent ocean view. The buffet and a la carte restaurant are ok for the most part and very good on certain foods. The pools are pretty good for cleanliness and size, but there not enough pool towels or chairs by the pool or beach. The snorkeling is pretty good. The staff is excellent in almost every area. No refrigerators or coffee makers in rooms. I think maybe available for an extra cost. The bed is terrible, very hard and lumpy.

Room was not ready upon check-in. Everything was manual which extended check-in and check-out time. Food options were very limited for an all-inclusive resort. The resort ran out of many items for food items and drinks such as mint leaves, sprite, and ingredients for sauce at the reservation only restaurant. Reservations for 1 of the only 2 restaurants on site was supposed to start at 8 AM per signs and communication relayed by front desk but reservations started at 7:45 AM and were gone by 8 AM. There was a line every morning for this restaurant. There was confusion on how to get to the hotel because there are 2 postings with 2 different addresses and different names. This confused the taxi. The rooms are outdated and caused multiple problems throughout the stay. You cannot control the temperature in your room, maintenance has to come and change it with a password. I could go on, but this should be enough for you to get the point.

PROS The snorkeling was amazing! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was good. Green enchiladas in the morning were amazing. Chicken parm at night was good. Buffet had different options each day. The grounds were clean. Our snorkel tour we booked through the hotel with Carla’s company was incredible!! Store on site. Dive shop on site. Restaurants were close. Free parking. CONS We didn’t get a king room like we requested at first. Our first room had two fulls and the AC didn’t work. They were able to switch us rooms later that night to another full room with working AC which was better but still out dated. After two nights they switched us to a King room that was very nice and more updated. But we had to pay $100. There were booze cruises that were loud outside the room until all hours of the night. The default liquor was not name brand liquor more like a liqueur; we figured out we had to ask for name brand that was hidden in a cabinet behind the bar. We were never able to get a reservation for the restaurant because they were booked first thing in the morning. People left their stuff on the lounge chairs all night so we were never able to use one.

This property has some wonderful qualities, but the old tower was musty and very dated. We arrived and it took almost two hours to check in because rooms weren’t ready. They then proceeded to give us a room that another customer had just refused due to the condition of the space. They also said they didn’t have a room with a king bed , which I had reserved. Somehow, a room with a king bed magically appeared for $200 cash. It felt like a shake down and it happened to four out of the six couples we traveled with. Wait staff was helpful but overwhelmed. We sometimes waited for twenty to thirty minutes to get our drinks. The grounds are clean and well kept and once we figured out what food was good we enjoyed the selection. Omelets are amazing, tacos as well. Order the shrimp rosette off the menu but skip the fish- it was undercooked. Property is old and shows wear- but is generally clean. Food in the restaurant was great if you can get a reservation. Beach and pool chairs go quickly, so make sure to get out early to put items down to save a space. Pool is cold, but refreshing. You will need sand shoes and be careful entering and exiting the ocean. We had several injuries from the rocky areas. Overall, it was a nice stay and would return again but would call ahead and insist on a room in the new tower.

Very dated property. AC doesn't work in rooms. Omar, the guest services representative lied and said it's wide spread throughout the resort. When talking with others who have been there for weeks and their AC is just fine, as well as the party that traveled with us. He was rude and wouldn't even make eye contact, not fit for guest services.

Beau, bon pas cher et plage superbe !!
Cet hôtel à la plus belle plage de tous à Cozumel. C'est un petit resort mais tous les repas sont à la carte et tout est bon. Il ne faut pas avoir trop d'attente, mais les chambres sont belles et propre, un peu veillo mais quand même parfaite. Pour ce qui est du service, je dirais que seul le moment du check-in est long. Je ne sais pas si c'est le systeme informatique qui fait que c'est très long ou autre chose, mais il faut prévoir facilement 10 à 15 minutes par chambre pour l'enregistrement... La force de l'hôtel, service à la plage. On peut commander à manger et boire en tout temps. C'est super. La vue mer est incroyable. Ne vous attendez pas à voir des spectacles ou de l'animation tous les jours, il n'y en a pas. C'était notre 2e fois à cet hôtel et nous le recommandons sans hésiter pour des vacances tranquille.

Definitely one of the worst places I’ve stayed in Mexico. Did not live up to my expectations and standards even compared to what the website and Expedia say about this property. The upkeep is terrible, the rooms are disgusting, lights didn’t work, no garbage cans in the room, previous guests used soap and hair ties with hair still attached to them in the bathroom. The wait staff at the restaurant were very helpful and the beach was nice but that’s all this property has going for it
