Jul 21, 2025Great Value Resort Despite Beach Limitations
We had a great experience at this resort! We upgraded to the Privilege package, and I would highly recommend it—if only for the BLoved restaurant alone. The food there is consistently excellent, and the rooftop view is absolutely stunning. We also dined at the Mexican à la carte restaurant, which was another standout. The food was delicious and we even enjoyed a live mariachi band during dinner—such a great touch! There was a slight smell around the Yucatán side and the beach bar, likely due to the seaweed, but that's something outside the hotel's control. That said, due to the seaweed season, the beach was unfortunately completely unusable during our stay. The beach itself is decent when accessible, but definitely on the rockier side—bring water shoes if you plan to swim. The resort is compact and walkable, which made getting around easy. We loved spending time at the sports bar and the disco in the evenings. The only downside is the music at the disco can get a bit repetitive. One hidden gem: there’s a bar on the second level beside the Mexican and Italian restaurants called T-Bar. It’s easy to miss, but the drinks there were fantastic! Nighttime entertainment and staff were great overall. The beach party, in particular, was a big hit—so much fun and well-organized. We also at at the buffet on the Riviera side a few times and were impressed with the variety and quality of the selection. Dont miss the crepe stand on the Yutacan side they make an amazing Affagato and was a perfect pick me up mid day. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this resort. It’s great value for the price, and being located in a private gated community made walking around feel extra safe and relaxed.

The hotel room was extremely hot and they would not fix it. We would literally have sweat dripping off of us at night and we were told that the temperature was within normal limits, however he check the temp with his hand over the vent. The grounds were kept neat and clean. The beach was not what you would picture, very rocky and not enjoyable. However, the pools were great.

Honesty and in depth
I visited this place a week ago. First time in Mexico and I must say it did not disappoint, the staff here are accommodating, kind, very hardworking and most important of all where bilingual with 99% of staff speaking English, even though I myself speak Spanish and English anyway. As a very critical person I shall now dive into these proclamations but take my discrimination of my habit of critiquing into consideration. On arrival the couch had stains on, however the rest of the room was absolutely spotless. The burger place didn’t have the most passionate staff and served food that didn’t match the menu at all and wasn’t satisfactory in any form (The potato wedges were raw). The smell of seaweed is very strong in the other resort and sometimes wafts over however the managing of this was incredibly impressive and it could have been a lot worse. The pool also dyed our clothes a strange green colour which is still stained now. The staff are very pushy for personal reviews and massages. There’s also coco bongo associates that come around twice a day minimum and you can’t walk 10ft outside the complex without being constantly pestered to buy a trip or an excursion. Onto the positives though. The food selection was vast and very tasteful, the ice cream was absolutely incredible and awfully refreshing, the staff were very kind and always up for a conversation or to provide info, the shop in the hotel was actually cheaper than the ones surrounding it in the complex, it’s close to a marina that offer a range of activities including dolphins that you can swim with and watch. Golf buggies are up for rental which is a very riveting experience, drinks are offered on arrival, the place was very clean, there are little capybaras and lizards walking around, the music taste is good and the aqua aerobics instructors are fantastic and there’s various activities going on daily, the bars serve you quick and I must say all bartenders are very skilled and knowledgeable and aren’t shy with alcohol, the chefs in the morning on the egg station produce the most stunning eggs I’ve ever ate in my life, theres 2 buffets you have access to and a grill when it comes to lunch which served basic food but once again very tasteful. If you’re a picky eater and an adult I don’t advise going here as at night there isn’t the widest selection of simplistic food. Overall I would come back to this resort and it’s a great option, definitely consider coming.
