Great stay

Pact77 on Apr 19, 2026

Building 4 was a fantastic upgrade. I’d recommend staying close to the beach and main pool. Our room was clean, and the balcony was spacious. The pool side activity’s were fun. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating.

We are having a great time here, thank you!

We are having a great time. The resort is dated and our room is musty on the first floor; however, the fantastic service from the staff make up for it. We are in Building 1, Tulum, and are close to the secondary buffet for breakfast and lunch, and close to the main pools and beach. Victor, in our buffet is wonderful. Thank you for your friendly service. You are all very nice and help to make our trip more enjoyable. Thank you.

Great time at a dated resort - recommended for the right cost!

Fransisco at the Jaal-Ha buffet is amazing! His attention to details is wonderful, and he is clearly a favourite by many. The food was consistently good every morning at this buffet. Also, you must try the Coffee House if you visit here! I just wish they opened early in the morning so I could have my espresso first thing! Staff was great and the room was as we expected knowing this is a bit of a dated resort. We heard of some buildings that didn't have a working elevator or bad AC but everything in our building was great.

Romulo Rules!

Leo and Romulo were amazing staff! Highly recommend the French restaurant! One of our members has a nut allergy and he went out of his way to give her a nut free dessert!

Outstanding experience

The food experience was quite pleasant but what makes it superb is the service. From Leo at the door, and Luis at the table, made the experience outstanding. The resort overall is very enjoyable.
