Beautiful resort. The road to get to it is a long dirt road and uncomfortable to navigate. Food options could be better. Resort itself is beautiful.

Cindy, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great service. Staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Food is awesome, delicious. Entertainment options are great. Beaches are fantastic. Only issues is the humidity in some areas of the building, access to apartments have no ramps for people with walking problems, and staff should stop people in the restaurant to feed the native mapaches. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

The front desk was the most terrible service I have seen, the personal wasn’t trained well.

We liked it very much. For those who don’t speak Spanish May be challenging. Staff was cordial and friendly. Chairs was a little bit of an issue in the beach. Food was good.

OMAR, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

The service is horrendous. We requested side by side rooms and rooms were not available for two days. Offered no credit or refund for the inconvenience. Staff are not friendly and customer service is poor. Pool was shut down twice during our stay and no help at the bars. Long line ups for drinks and at times didn’t have beer or ingredients for mojitos.
Tony, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

El check in es terriblemente largo (2 horas esperando) solo tienen 2 personas en eso y muchos viajeros. Querían cobrarme a mí nena de dos años, cuando la política en expedía dice que se cobran a partir de 3 años, sin embargo la persona de check in no lo sabía y tardo mucho averiguando. El lugar es un paraíso, lástima que el servicio al cliente no es el mejor, desde meseros, recepción, hasta el mismo doctor que no apoya en emergencias. Sin embargo la belleza del lugar estando ya dentro puede llegar a cubrir estos temas, porque la playa es hermosa, las instalaciones, la fauna y estar ahí es bello.
Pamela, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Esta muy lejos de la ciudad, algun personal es muy bieno pero otro es muy malo super malo con ina cara de no querer trabajar los meseros algunos pero no me gustaron. El manager del restautant 6/20/2024 fue muy corriente y tuve muy corriente y tuve un problema que no me pudo resolver y muy mal trato. Muy mal de verfad
Sha, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our main issue was that our room had bedbugs. They moved us after some insistence, but that was it. No apologies or follow up. The front desk staff doesn't seem to care ar all. We even had the "plus" upgrade which made no difference. The pools and beach are lovely. Restaurant staff so friendly and great. Food is very average. Lifeguards are on a massive power trip and make things pretty unpleasant as they are constantly blowing the whistle for one reason or another. They will not let you even put your feet in the ocean after 6 pm, which seems completely crazy. Lots of iguanas and racoons, racoons come into the restaurant which seems really gross and dirty.
Lauren, 7-night trip

Esperaria mejor servicio de un hotel de este tipo, la barra de bebidas tiene hielos en hielera y las sodas estan en botellas desechables, el spa no tenia servicio disponible a pesar que no se veian clientes, la paya no se limpia con trilladoras

50/50

50/50. Lo bueno, la playa, la tranquilidad, el bonito lobby. Lo regular, la comida si bien tiene buena sazón rica y buena, la variedad poca, muy poca comida de mar. El vino de caja. El personal 80% amable el otro 20 displicente. El personal de seguridad poco cortés, y pensaría que terminan regañando al cliente, lo que nunca había visto en un hotel, ese tipo de trato. Lo malo, el Check in 25 minutos de espera increíble, los vasos de las bebidas se agotaban, largas filas y espera a que los vasos aparecieran; escaso personal para atender. Lo raro Un salón de baile que le dicen discoteca, pese a que es un hotel solo para los huéspedes no entendí que colocaron una norma de ley de infancia y adolescencia a la entrada, la razón incomprensible, ya que en todo el hotel hay música y licor. Básicamente es un hotel familiar. Habitaciones en tercer piso hay que subir maletas no hay quien las lleve, además de subir y bajar todo el tiempo, no tienen ascensores por lo que cuando reserven pidan planta baja.
