Salon Services for Hair & Makeup for Wedding
Doneeca T on Mar 23, 2024
I had my wedding at this resort and worked with the salon at the spa for my hair and makeup trial and beauty services for the day of the wedding. Margot and Fabiola were amazing! They were so wonderful to work with and made myself and my bridesmaids look gorgeous for the big day. Totally recommend!
Worst All Inclusive in Mexico
Sarah B on Mar 22, 2024
Worst all inclusive experience we’ve ever had in Mexico. Staff was not friendly or helpful at all in any situation, rarely saw staff smiling or happy. We arrived extremely late on the first night of our stay, we were denied towel cards, told we had to get them in the morning. When we went to get them the next morning they only had 7 cards available, we had a group of 13 people total and were told too bad we don’t have enough for everyone. All restaurants were closed when we arrived and our room phone didn’t work to order room service. No bedding or pillows for our kids beds when we arrived to the room. Requested pillows and blankets and were told that they could only give us sheets and 2 pillows max (we had 3 children with us) Trundle bed mattress had a huge urine stain on it, they flipped the mattress. Master king bed had a blood stain, based on location on bed from female menstruation, after 2 days they finally brought a mattress pad to cover it. We ran out of water in our room and it took several days to get a replacement. Food options are lacking, thankfully we brought snacks, never had guacamole, what kind of Mexico resort doesn’t have guacamole?! Lunch options include hot dogs and burgers. One morning we waited in line for breakfast for over 30 minutes to be kicked out of line and told “we are closing and won’t have time to feed you. No other restaurants open for another 2 hours”. Also no remorse from staff who delivered this news to us and all the other families waiting in line. The plates at the snack bar in the waterpark and the poolside snack bar were observed staff wiping dirty plates with towels and stacking them in the “clean pile” after the towel swipe. Probably explains how all our kids came home with strep throat and hand foot and mouth disease!! The waterpark does not allow adults to go down slides and played extremely inappropriate music for children. When we took our concerns and complaints to management they told us they would make it right, promised a refund, guaranteed reservations at restaurants, etc and none of it ever happened. It’s now 4 months later and still no refunds. we returned from our trip with all 3 of our children having strep and hand foot and mouth, I have no doubt it was contracted at this resort! We will never return or recommend this resort. Service standards are non existent, cleanliness is non existent, food is scarce and mediocre at best, entertainment does not occur. Only pros were pottery by the pool and the hair braids which weren’t even part of the all inclusive resort - that were separate unassociated services.
