    Nothing short of a great time

    I came with my brother and we met amazing people and had an awesome. The drinks were good and they had a menu of about 10 cocktails but you could order literally anything, besides shots at the pool

    Manuel @ Breathless

    Manuel is absolutely amazing as a head waiter! Not only is his service flawless and professional, but he is also genuinely the sweetest person you could hope to meet. He goes above and beyond to make every guest feel special and comfortable, always with a warm smile and kind attitude. Manuel manages the floor with such grace and care that the entire dining experience feels smooth and welcoming. His combination of skill, kindness, and attention to detail truly makes him stand out. Dining with Manuel’s service is an absolute joy!

    Two years in a row and not disappointed.

    BREATHLESS This was our second visit to this resort in a row and once again did not disappoint. While most Maya resorts have a welcoming staff of 97-98, I can truly say this one is at close to 100 as it gets. The food was incredible at all restaurants (didn’t make the Mexican or Steakhouse) even the beachside pizza bar makes incredible brick oven pizza. The Spoon buffet was excellent with a wide selection (MORE of that roasted chicken please). The Italian and Asian restaurants were incredible but the French restaurant was on just another level. While the beach does suffer from seaweed as most Mexican Caribbean resorts the staff does a good job of at least clearing a path so beachgoers can get to the sea which is mostly seafood free. The best part of the beach is a lagoon like area at the northern part of the resort which is protected from the seaweed, and safe from waves. Only warning is watch for the “dark” areas where the depths will come at you suddenly if not an experienced swimmer might startle you. While not an environmental wonder, one can expect to see hundreds of needlefish as well as a few other small fish species, and maybe a seabird or two. A few cautions: 1. It’s a resort that seems to cater to a younger crowd. My wife and I are in our late 50s and many times felt like we were the oldest ones in the pool. 2. The surface of the steps and most of the main pool are paved with a sharp aggregate making it painful for those like with me with sensitive feet. Please consider packing pool shoes/flip flops Other than that if you are looking for a Cancún AI that is fairly priced and close to the airport, I’m hard pressed to think of a better alternative!

    Will be back

    Victor, the pool concierge was absolutely amazing and catered to our every need. Whether it was sunscreen or a Band-Aid, he seemed to be very attentive to what was going on all around him. There’s a lot to say about this resort, but I believe there is a little something for every everybody and every age the restaurants are fantastic and the pools are very different, which was good to have a different experience at everyone.

    Amazing!!

    Great resort. The people who say that this place isn't great are crazy. The food is fantastic - it's not a 5 star restaurant but its far from slop. The staff are incredibly nice and attentive. To all those reading - please tip them. Saw a needy group of 12 leave a dinner server not even a single dollar. I know it is all-inclusive, but these people work their ass off to give exemplary service for $6.70 USD/DAY (based on what I could find about average resort worker in the cancun area) and most of them work 6 out of 7 days.
