Vacation started off at the Tulum airport which is an hour away via car or sprinter van; buses take 2+hours to get there! This is a gated community of a couple resorts and private condos (which are owned by American, Europeans and Canadians - as the locals tell us)! Very safe to travel around the area at any time! All non working locals must leave area a certain times! For the resort I expected so much more as this was rated very close to 5 stars! It is NOT! It is more or less a 3 star resort and very similar to Cuba resorts in my opinion! Lack of expertise on finishes, broken furniture and the beach chairs are ridiculous! You would expect a resort to have enough chairs to accommodate each guest but they have at most 100 beach chairs and that’s being on the high side! The room smelled so bad of septic mixed with seaweed! It was embedded in our clothes! Only 1 plug worked in our room and I had to call for a blow dryer! The beach was terrible! Hard compacted dirt with a very thin layer of rocky sand! The water is murky and you can’t see anything snorkeling! The public beach(which is 400m away) was so much nicer and cleaner! The food was lacking in everything unless you can tolerate Mexican spice! I asked at every meal what spice was used and they all said “no spice!” My stomach begs to differ! You either had half cooked eggs all slimy or burned eggs! The sausages were always cold! The other restaurants were ok! At best! Don’t go here if you enjoy eating or swimming in the ocean waves! Because of this trip, I will never return to Mexico for vacation! Not worth the money we spent! Read less

The food is mediocre at best and we flat out walked out of the seaside grill because the food was inedible. Read less
