We loved our stay! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Amenities were great and the resort is family friendly. There was always something to do - pools, performances, beach, the kids club. The only thing we would change is the sales aspect. As soon as we stepped in, they immediately had someone trying to sell us a vacation membership. It’s the only reason we didn’t give it an excellent.

Everything was actually pretty great, except their dinner reservation part. We were there 5 nights and barely got in two dinners and that was only because I checked all the time for dinners. Ocean is as bad as I’ve ever seen. It honestly looked like there was baby poop in it and it stink. If you are going from beach and ocean this is not the place for you. Place was clean and staff were friendly.

Staff super friendly. Property is beyond gorgeous with so much greenery jungle like feel and all the wildlife. Buffet food is mid but if you’re able to make reservations to the other food options is great! Buffet/restaurant hours are weird so there are gaps where there is no food available, they should provide some food carts while they have those turnover closures.

We had a wonderful family holiday here in July. We lucked out and had great, hot weather with sunny skies! There were so many amenities on site that our family of four had a blast for the whole week. We did take an excursion to Isla Mujeres for a day to get to swim in crystal clear ocean water. We didn’t know that the ocean was not swimmable due to algae at this time of year. But we went kayaking in the ocean and enjoyed the on site cenote which was so beautiful and refreshing. We had a great Expedia rep who checked in with us as well and enabled us to enjoy a meal at the highly sought after Japanese restaurant - the place was otherwise fully booked! She also surprised us with chocolate covered strawberries in our room on our final day. So sweet and special!
