Was assigned room 210, huge balcony, perfect view! A few heated pools, great for the kids. Beach is awesome, I doubt you’ll find a better location. Service has been good too. A great place for the family!
Beautiful Grounds, Incredible Ocean, but Held Back by Noise and Rules

?? The Good Property Aesthetics: Old but beautiful architecture, rock work, and lush plants give the grounds a unique and charming character. Buffet Food & Dining: Solid and varied, always found something enjoyable. The oceanfront buffet areas are lovely. Ocean/Beach: The highlight of the trip; absolutely loved playing in the waves. The beach itself is beautiful (when the music is off). Recreational Facilities: Awesome volleyball area and a lot of swimming pools are available. Cenotes: Cenotes are incredible and a major enjoyment point. ?? The Bad & Inconveniences (Major Issues) Noise Level: Extremely loud Banda music on the beach from ~1 pm to 6 pm, making beach relaxation nearly impossible. Game Area Rules: Restrictive rule against children using the pool table (even with an adult, in a non-alcohol area), which was frustrating and a big disappointment. ?? The Bad & Inconveniences (Minor Issues & Observations) Specialty Restaurants: Underwhelming and not memorable; did not add much value over the buffet. Children's Facilities: The kids' club was closed, which was a minor disappointment. English Proficiency: Some staff members struggle with English, occasionally making communication challenging. Entertainment: Main pool entertainment is entirely in Spanish, limiting participation for non-Spanish speakers.
