The food was ok, mostly buffet style and a little repetitive. The service was good. The rooms need a little updating, and the AC didn't work well in one of our two rooms... they attempted to repair it, but it wouldn't get low enough to combat the humidity. The water in the sink is not drinkable, which is understandable in Mexico, but most of the places I've stayed before you don't need to worry about brushing your teeth with the sink water.

Hotel excelente, refeições impecáveis e nem precisamos agendar os restaurantes temáticos. Tinha de tudo e sempre em ótima qualidade. Infelizmente o salgazo impediu de usarmos o mar, porém o que não demandava de ações externas, o hotel entregou. Senti um pouco de falta de música, já que só tocava na piscina com bar para adultos. Chegamos 2h antes e autorizam nosso acesso sem qualquer dificuldade, check-in perfeito

The description of the room on Expedia website was misleading. The description said the room cam accomodate 8 persons, while the 2 rooms with connecting door has only ONE king bed, which doesn't make any sense that 3 persons will sleep on the floor or put themselves at a risk of getting THREE rollaway beds assuming that the rooms can accomodate this huge number of beds. We were 2 families od 10 pesons, booked 2 double rooms (2 rooms each family that accomodate 16 persons).We called the hotel and they said the information on Expedia website is not correct As a consequence we had to cancel our flight, loose our vacation, lost one night (about CAD2000) and we paid for the Expedia's mistakes.

I appreciated the communication prior to our arrival. I was able to make a request for room type/location and depending on availability, it was approved. We also liked the size of the property, it wasn't too big or too small. Everything was within walking distance at the hotel, and simple souvenir shopping just across the street. There was ample choices for food. The entertainment staff was friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of chairs around the pool and beach accessibility.

He tenido experiencias muy positivas en otros hoteles de esta cadena por ofrecer mucha accesibilidad para personas en sillas de ruedas. En este no fue del todo positivo, ya que la habitación asignada no fue del todo adecuada y no nos dieron mucha flexibilidad de cambio por haber hecho la reserva por Expedía.

To start, we weren’t given a room until well after the official check-in time. The hotel has no elevators, so be prepared to carry heavy luggage up multiple flights of stairs. The pool area was a disaster—frequent incidents with intoxicated guests vomiting in the water. Each time this happened, the pool was shut down for the entire day. Unfortunately, during our 5-day stay, we never got to use the pool at all. Overall, this was by far the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had.
