Pros:
- amazing pools. Like seriously, incredible pools. And you get four resorts worth to pick from, all with slightly different vibes
- beachfront. Our room was about as far from the beach as you could get and it was a three minute walk. No golf carts needed
- clean. It’s low season, so nowhere near the level of staff you’d typically see. The resort was still very, very clean and you constantly saw people cleaning something
- restaurant Tokyo was so, so good. I wish we could have gone more than once
Cons:
- the buffet food was legitimately the worst we’ve ever had at a Cancun/Riviera Maya all-inclusive. Nothing tasted right, all the meats were incredibly over-cooked, even the fruit (one of the only edible options) was pretty much just melons and the occasion pineapple. The buffets are clean and they try to present things nicely, but everything tastes so bad.
- the say paddle boards, kayaks, and more are included. They aren’t. They told us the only time we could take out a paddle board was when there was no wind at all. We went to the desk on a morning with no wind at all and were told it was too windy (seriously. Weather app said 1 mile an hour wind). They don’t even take the paddle boards and kayaks out - I think they just say they have them and use the “wind” as an excuse so you pay for things instead
- this isn’t their fault at all, but the sargassum stinks. They don’t remove it except for in front of the paid jet ski area and the adults only. Just be aware!
