Mexico and Central America Adventure Holidays

The room was nice but we had to call daily to have the spa fixed

The 4-star rating for staff and service (instead of 5) is due only to the poor check-in experience. We had booked two king-bed rooms, but were given one king and one double-bed room on different floors. The staff suggested we could have two nearby ocean-view rooms if we paid an additional $600 USD, which was disappointing—especially since it was the off-season and there were plenty of empty rooms on each floor. It felt like they were trying to push an unnecessary upgrade. Aside from the check-in issue, the service overall was excellent, and I would still recommend this hotel.

Staff very friendly and overall the hotel very Clean

We stayed at this hotel from Sept 23–29 with family and friends. Overall, the facilities were clean and well-maintained. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of both the beach and the pool from the balcony. The Murphy bed was comfortable for the kids. Dining options included a buffet, Mexican, Italian, sushi bar, and sports bar. Reservations were fairly easy (from 8 AM daily), and the à la carte food was great. However, the buffet had limited variety, and the sushi there was disappointing. The pool, hot tub, and small waterslide kept the kids entertained. The beach was just steps away, which we loved. There was a kids club, but we didn’t use it much. Some activities had extra fees. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but a few things were frustrating: -Tips didn’t seem to be appreciated, I tipped $1 when getting a drink or even tipping $5 while ordering lunch for family, received no attention. It was only when my friend (perhaps by mistake) tipped $10 that the server suddenly gave our group lots of attention. Since we were on an all-inclusive plan, this level of service—despite the generous tipping—was disappointing. Many food and drink items came with unexpected extra charges. It was also quite inconvenient to have to hand over your room key and say your room number every time you ordered something. Rooms were clean and mostly quiet. But if you like nightlife, this place may feel a bit too quiet. Also, soundproofing wasn't great—noisy neighbors could be an issue.

Rooms were clean, we traveled with a group. Some complained that their neighbors were very loud. Our room smelled like sewage each and every day, likely from the shower drain. Lots of seaweed during September month, they tried their best cleaning it up. No champagne (for club members only, but they did serve red label. The food was mostly the same each day, we are not picky eaters but more variety was preferred. Maid service was great for us, some company complained that their sheets weren’t changed as frequently as they were supposed to be (every other day expectation). The fridge was not restocked regularly. Water bottles provided in the room but not restocked, mist use water dispenser in the hallway to refill. Many were too cold in the room, our temps were fine. Shows were great, restaurant food was great for the most part. Staff was great.

The hotel architecture is amazing. But food and staff are not.

Great ocean views, clean room, great staff!

This place is so beautiful. I recommended that for everybody. The service and care are top notch, the waiters are very attentive.
