    5 Stars In Mexico

    The resort was amazing. Both my girlfriend and I had an amazing vacation. The rooms are lovely and the service is top-shelf from the many restaurants, the Spa, the bar tenders and the crew who shuttle you in golf carts throughout the resort. We met Luis Martinez in the hotel lobby and he was amazing. He gave us great advice on the shopping choices and Playa del Carmen and what to avoid while shopping there. He is a great guy with a wealth of knowledge on the local area. This is a trip we will never forget, and we will be coming back this December for sure.

    Horrible please go else where!!!! More like a 3 star experience

    Where do I even start? If you’re not a membership holder, don’t expect access to the nicer areas of the resort. The food was disappointing, and the beverages were of the cheapest quality. Want to use the cabanas by the pool? That’ll cost you extra. Plus let’s say you want to do it well then you need to do it way in advance according to the concierges by the pool. Even though you see them empty all day. I traveled with my handicapped mother, and the experience was especially disheartening. Most of the golf cart drivers were rude—particularly the Cuban driver. The only one who showed kindness and respect was Josue . He went out of his way to take care of my mom, making sure she always got to the lobby and our room comfortably. Big shoutout to Bidelia and Beiby as well—they did a fantastic job keeping our room clean despite being clearly overworked and underpaid (only $150 biweekly!). Unfortunately, these few kind staff members were the only bright spots in an otherwise disappointing stay. I would never recommend this overpriced resort. It felt more like a 3-star experience at best. Please don’t waste your money—book elsewhere.

    Great resort! Very large and luxurious. Luis was great at the concierge! He set us up with restaurants and excursions. Really nice and helped us understand the layout of the resort and where to go! Look for him when you go on your trip here!! We loved the pool and lobby bar.
