Swim-up bar was awesome. Property is on the beach and you can see the ocean even from the pool!

I’m not one to leave reviews, but I feel like it could benefit here extremely well.. My second time to Cancun. First was an absolute blast, figured this would be a similar experience. Restaurant was ALWAYS “full” even when I tried to make a reservation at 10am… Couldn’t make a reservation for the following day, had to be the day of. If using the A/C you’re light in your bathroom will leak. Yes. The bulb will drip water. Inside my room was EXCESSIVELY loud… Unbelievably. The room next door was SCREAMING at each other at all hours of the night. However most of the staff were incredible, housekeeping, bartenders. Would I recommend it? No.. Would I come back? Most likely not.. 4/10.

Eco hotel, nature around the rooms. In my opinion, not good food, buffet flavor average, not much variety. Sadly, not the same teeatment for hispanic guests than others..

We found bed bug in our room. During the power outage, the property should provide emergency light or generator. And the cook should wear a cap at work especially during the power outage, the cook was sweating. She is using her clothes to wipe. So gross.

Loved the hotel it was beautiful and so peaceful. The rooms were very clean. What I did not like about this hotel was the attitude of the staff, for example we asked the gentleman at bar in the lobby for 2 foam cups and spoons for our kids cereal, the face he made us left us speechless, made us feel so uncomfortable. Never the less we didn't do all inclusive because we weren't gonna be in the hotel so for us everything being clean and beautiful was worth it.

None of the proper staff were on the same page on what the rules and regulations were for all inclusive. We sold a gold bracelet to go to another Sister resort and use their pools and restaurants, but we’re not informed that a shuttle would be longer than we originally told 30 minutes we were told 10. and also made multiple stops. They also neglected to tell us that we would need to make reservations before 4 PM and couldn’t make them prior to the day of. Had to go to the front desk to make these reservations as well we also were not informed that shuttles stopped certain days early and other days ended at 10 PM. We paid 250 per person to be able to use the other resort but due to this lack of information we’re not able to use it at one time. All minor things, but made our time at this resort disappointing because nothing was disclosed at the time of check-in then when we tried to make reservations, we were told one thing and then the next day found out that the actual protocol was something different. Upon finally being able to arrive at the Sister resort, we were found that there’s actually one pool because the resort was still under construction. They also allowed vendors to come on the property. We were continuously haggle to buy things on repeated day daily, which made enjoying the pool or sitting oceanfront unpleasant. Overall, I thought it was beautiful. The food was what was expected for a all-inclusive buffet style. Has a lot of potential but overall disappointed

The room options are very good, very spacious and well air conditioned. Love the scenery. The beach view is amazing and the pools are cleaned and well kept.

The grounds are beautiful with a lot of wildlife and peaceful nature. We enjoyed the resort kitty Luna.We loved taking the yoga class in the mornings with such a great instructor. I would highly recommend putting coffee makers in the room. It's very disappointing when you're an early riser and need to wait till 6:30 for a cup of coffee. My other complaint is all the kids jumping and splashing pool water in your drinks in the adult swim up bar. Would recommend a pool area for kids. The food needs work along with the syrup water down drinks. Our recommendations to use more natural juice and not all the concentrated sugar juice. The gym needs alot of upgrades and would be nice if the ac worked.

Was never advised I needed to reserve dinner prior to arriving to the property. Was told I had no option but the buffet. The food was absolutely terrible both dinner and breakfast. Had staff come in my room 2 times unannounced because I was not provided a DND sign. All bars expect for 1 close at 7pm which seems very early. Water in the shower smelled like sewer and never got even like warm. Overall I can see why there was a special price for this resort. Will not be back.

Overall, the experience was satisfactory, with the exception of the shore, which was heavily covered in seaweed due to the prevailing season.
