Imagine paying for a luxury experience and having your vacation disrupted by a butler who thinks they’re the main character.
Wives and girlfriends, beware. If you are assigned Frida as your butler, I strongly recommend requesting someone else. In my experience, she catered more to the male demographic while ignoring me. As a solo female traveler, I felt dismissed and had to follow up multiple times just to get simple requests handled.
This is my first time staying in the Riviera area, and I’ve stayed at multiple resorts throughout Cancun, Tulum, and Playa del Carmen. First and foremost, the resort itself is beautiful, peaceful, and secluded. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation away from heavy traffic and crowds.
Unfortunately, my experience with Frida did not match the level of service expected at a luxury resort. I asked for basic things like dinner reservations and was left on read multiple times. Imagine being left on read by your butler at a luxury resort. I was also told to wait about 20 minutes for her upon arrival, but I ended up waiting closer to 45 minutes to an hour. She never properly collected my WhatsApp information, which made communication even more difficult.
I upgraded to the Serenity package to celebrate my 40th birthday, so I expected attentive service. After two days of poor service, I requested a new butler, and the difference was immediate. My experience improved significantly once I was reassigned.
The resort itself is absolutely amazing, and I would still recommend staying here. However, if you are assigned Frida, I would recommend requesting someone else immediately to avoid unnecessary frustration and to fully enjoy your luxury experience.
