My Stay in Cancun
This was by far the nicest resort I have stayed at. For some reason we were upgraded to VIP when we arrived. It allowed myself and my wife to enjoy a peaceful honeymoon. The service was great the entire time we were there!

Great place for a family vacation
You can not go wrong with this resort. Friendly and helpful staff, fun, clean, & safe. The only thing we did not like were the beds - old and uncomfortable. Everything else was excellent.

Great Hotel - Cannot Fault
Stayed here a couple of weeks ago and the staff could not do enough for us. Hotel was really clean, the room was huge & the food in the restaurants was lovely One thing to watch for is people getting drunk in the swim up bar, witnessed quite a few people being asked to leave the pool area for being too drunk
