Come here for the location and beach..... Not the food!!
Joanna J on Jan 11, 2026
Best location along the strip. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, stores, the malecon. Beautiful beach you can walk for miles. The food is fantastic if you go to the Italian or Mexican restaurant. The sushi beach snack bar is also fantastic! However, the buffet is absolutely disgusting. I have traveled throughout Mexico and Cuba and this resort had the worst food I have ever encountered. I would be emberrased serving this food in a 4 star resort. Resort could also be cleaner. Pool decks were dirty and I saw floating bandaids in the pool.
Beautiful Beach, Shockingly Bad Food
Paradise138417 on Jan 08, 2026
Good: The hotel has 4–5 swimming pools with different temperatures, which is a big plus. There is a great shallow pool with warmer water that’s perfect for younger kids. The location is excellent, and the beach is very nice. Not so good: Cleanliness is a serious issue. Don’t expect towels or bedding to be properly clean. The food is very mediocre, especially for a resort. Breakfast is extremely disappointing: there is no egg station at all (this is the first time I’ve seen this after staying in more than 40 hotels worldwide). Only boiled eggs and cold scrambled eggs are available, with no bacon. The bread is shockingly bad — always stale and almost inedible. In my 20 years of traveling, I’ve never encountered bread this poor. The coffee is also terrible, which is surprising for Mexico; it tastes like old leftovers that should have been thrown away hours earlier. Dinner is just as bad. In addition to the bread issues, the meat and seafood are the lowest quality I’ve ever seen at a hotel. It honestly feels like the buffet is being served leftovers from another restaurant from the previous day. Overall: Seriously, do not book this place unless you plan to eat outside the hotel for most meals.
