8/10 Very good

Overall, it had similar qualities as you would see in most big resorts, particularly cleanliness, and service. However, I felt the food was just mediocre at the buffets, and the food was usually not hot. It was also very difficult to make reservations for the two à la carts that required it, indicating they were full a car first day of arrival all through the week. After being tenacious, I was able to get one for my family.. Also, I found it really frustrating in our ability to find chairs and lounges at the beach and in the pool area, unless you woke up very early, like around 7 AM.

I liked fresh food/cooking/fish. I liked living around animals on the property. I liked that the hotel used eco cleaning products. If any problem aroused, such as full sink of water, it was quickly resolved.

Although the rooms we kept fairly clean there was 1 giant cockroach about 1inch long in our shower, the pool needed allot of attention, dirty pool, entertainment was 3 out of 10. At the beach, the Coati animals were everywhere making it impossible to sit and eat peacefully, we always had to stand and eat, some were somewhat aggressive and would not hesitate totale your food right out of your plate. At checkout staff refused to honor our hotel certificates.We will not be returning to this resort. There are many others in the area for less money, and better quality food, entertainment and cleanliness.

First off, you’ll get locked out of your room at least 2 times within 4 days. Our keys stopped working twice and they blamed it on the magnet even though we did not keep the key anywhere near something that would damage it. Second, don’t go to the spa if you only speak English. The staff did not understand me and could not explain the process to me. I ended up leaving out of confusion and frustration. Third, DO NOT agree to a sales pitch. They will not tell you about the 90 minute presentation until it’s too late to back out. They sell it to you with a free breakfast at the 5 diamond resort next door. The breakfast was worse than the one at our resort by a long shot. The free gift was the trip to the spa (and you can read how that turned out for us). Fourth complaint, do not listen to the dress code that they say they have. They do not enforce it. When I asked if they enforced it, they said “not really”. So we sat at a “5 star” restaurant and I got to stare at peoples feet and no sleeved arms while I’m sitting there sweating in pants and a long shirt. Bars do not open at 10 more like 10:30-11:00. If it rains during the day there is basically nothing to do. Staff was not very engaging for most of the trip other than the events people but even they didn’t seem into it for most activities. Our server at the seafood restaurant helped us out with something and we were so glad to have good service that we tipped her $30. Airport has better shops than the resort. I could keep going

Good stay. We moved here after staying in an awful hotel nearby that we had to get out of. This place did the job. It is a huge complex, maybe a little bit dated, but good.

4/10 Fair

Please understand Inhave never written a review before but feel the need to give you the heads up. I’ve been to Mexico 6 times and I was extremely disappointed. This is a 3 star resort far from 4-5 stars. Food is the same all the time, Brazilian restaurant not worth it to go. Pool had constant dirt, lime wedges, bugs and we even found a hair extension. It was dirty every day. The drinks are so watered down that I, a rare drinker who had at least 4 drinks had zero effect on me. Other visitors expected a nicer resort that was a little high end we’re just as disappointed. If you don’t believe me, go and you’ll see how dated, dirty, low quality food. They never stop reminding you, waves is the lowest of the rest of the hotels. Try one of the RIU’s they’re great. Will never stay at a Iberostar hotel. I expected more than they cared to deliver.

#1 roaches in room. A lot of large cockroaches and spiders. #2 the first day we arrived they tried to push and sell their memrships. #3 same fast food everyday #4 the shows are NOT interestong and cheap quality. #5 the beach was OK. BUT THE OCEAN WAS DANGEROUS with strong waves. We were not able to enjoy ocean and beach with kids because it was dangerous.
