Jun 30, 2025Beautiful Resort 🥰
We’re a couple from Scotland and had the best two weeks here (rainy season didn’t even stop us) ☺️ the real highlights were the entertainment team (Jose, Angel, Luis, Maria, Andrea). Angel took us on the tour the first day showing us around the resort and there might have been some tequila involved 🙈 From aqua aerobics with Andrea to Luis turning it up with all the dance moves (dale dale dale 💃 😍) My husband played volleyball with Jose everyday and he had the best time! Also, Jose is an absolute sweetheart and a great pool player 🎱 I was very lucky to play Kubb with Maria who carried me the whole time so definitely choose her as a teammate! The foam party is also not one to miss. The energy that came from everyone above and they sister hotel (Luana, Benjamin, Octavio, Abraham) 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Desde el fondo de mi corazón fue un placer conocerlos a todos. Sam x

Mexico home 🇲🇽
Coming from England to Mexico like first time and it was an amazing experience, everybody is so lovely here. The resort is great, the beach wasn't so beauty but the attention of the staff make the difference, they work so hard, and the people is so attentive if you had some issue with something. The food as well is so tasty, I definitely recommend this resort, cause I came here by recommendation from my daughter cause she celebrated honeymoon time ago. And of course I want to give a special mention to Luis from the entertainment cause he's dance made my holiday, he makes you feel very welcomed, he involved you with the environment and activities and he makes you feel like part of the family, he's so kindly, please have a chance to meet him, and as well I want to say thank to Abraham, Jose and Andy part of the team.

Hot, fun, chill, laugh
Entertainment team Luis and Jose were awesome. Really funny, got us involved and kept everyone smiling at the pool. We did bingo, water polo and beach volleyball, even got given away as bingo prizes. So much fun will definitely be back again. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Mexicooo
Is our first time visiting this place and i will say that theres somethings that i didnt like, for example the food and the restaurants and bars that are closed. You need to be careful walking by the coconut trees 🌴 cause you never know. But theres some others things that i pretty like and make my vacations much better: the entertainment team, Luis is fantastic and very good on what he do, is very funny and friendly and he works very hard, as well Andrea the instructor and Jose cause they make a really good aquafitness class. If this guys wasnt here i think this vacations it could be not the same. As well Victor and Fernando the shuttles they are crazy guys, i like them and they made my days.
