Perfect Vacation!!
Marie D on Dec 11, 2025
My husband and I just got back from a wonderful vacation! We chose this hotel because of the beautiful grounds, beach and charming Mexican buildings and we were not disappointed!! Before booking I read some reviews about the rooms being dated, and I can see why, but it was exactly what I wanted, charming and very clean. The whole resort is meticulously maintained. The pool was very clean. Beach was picture perfect. The shows were phenomenal! All the staff were super friendly and helpful! A few things I think worth mentioning; -The resort is quite big, so bring comfortable footwear. -There is lots of wildlife everywhere, which we loved, but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. -There are photographers on site, you can schedule a session for free and you just pay per picture that you want. It’s fairly pricey but the pictures were phenomenal! - When we booked our confirmation said we got $500 US resort credit, but that was actually just a bunch of $25 off coupons with a minimum purchase of $100US -the pool closes at 7pm, maybe that’s standard for resorts, but we’d have liked to swim a little later - the app was very helpful to see the dining and activity schedules We loved the resort and would certainly go back!!
Overall great experience, minor changes could be made to make.this 5 star.

Just came back home from a week long stay, the resort itself is beautiful and well maintained. Like most of the prior reviews the rooms are outdated, the beds are on the smaller side, we booked a king bed but they were full, that sucked. The jungle area is amazing with animals all around, however as mentioned the monkeys are kept in cages on the roof which I find odd. Food was alright, the buffet could change out things a little more and as another guest mentioned the food could be a little warmer. Entertainment staff was excellent. Some guests mentioned staff being rude, we never saw that everyone said hello and was extremely friendly. Dont miss the Japanese restaurant its amazing. None of the stuff I mentioned above would be a deal breaker for not making a return trip. We definitely will be back. Can't wait to see what the upgrade brings in 2026.
