We went to this resort in February 2026 for our son’s wedding. From the time we arrived we had problems. My in laws had reserved a handicap accessible room and had actually called to verify their room weeks ahead of time and were reassured they had this room type. Upon arrival they were not given a handicap accessible room and we were told they were unable to accommodate that room type for at least 3 days which was not okay for my father in law. The day after our arrival my father in law had a medical emergency and became unconscious, poolside, and needed medical attention which the resort did provide. He was then taken to a nearby hospital in which he and my mother in law never returned back to the resort. My father in law passed and the hotel told me that they would get a full refund. It has been months and they were only given a partial amount of their money back. We also left early due to these terrible circumstances and they did offer us a credit for the nights we weren’t there but only at that same resort. Why would we want to come back to a resort where we lost someone. Myself and my mother in law have spent a significant amount of time trying to get this figured out with the hotel and just get the run around. As far as the wedding we were there for goes…..the communication with the wedding staff was terrible. It was very hard to get someone to even respond to emails or return phone calls. During the actual wedding the staff cleared plates before letting guests finish if they were mingling. The brides plate was taken away before she could even sit down to eat it so she never got dinner and the guests dessert plates were cleared so fast 90% of the guests didn’t get their dessert. As far as their food goes, it is beyond terrible. We have been to many all inclusives and some with mediocre food that was still just okay…..but the food here is just awful. I had read reviews that did say the food was bad here but I never imagined it to be that bad. My daughter had a worm in her ceviche at one of the restaurants and I got food poisoning from that same restaurant. I would rethink booking this resort, it is not worth it! Read less

We had a wonderful family trip to this resort. The small size is different than most resorts we have chosen in the past but it was very convenient with our 4 year old. Everything felt very clean. We loved going for walks into the town to see the dolphins. The food was consistently good and we could tell they paid attention to food safety. The drive from the airport was not as long as we had anticipated. The beach was no worth spending time at and the stone break wall makes the water stagnant and not worth swimming in, in my opinion. But we knew that when planning our trip. Daniela at the kids club was great with my daughter. Communicated with us via WhatsApp. It felt safe and responsible. She had fun and went for a couple hours most days. Alma was a great server at the main pool. Always bringing a next drink. We loved getting a drink from Jazi in the preferred lounge. Great mimosas and margaritas. Ezekiel and Pedro at the world cafe for breakfast were wonderful and so friendly and happy each morning. Housekeeping on the sixth floor were always fast and attentive. Lionel the server at preferred club restaurant was so energetic and friendly. And Romerio at the concierge desk was helpful with making any arrangements we needed, helping us get taxi, giving us tips on places to go when we were going out. This was a great little resort. We enjoyed ourselves and would return. Read less

The resort is beautiful, small by comparison to other Riviera Maya resorts we've been to over the years. Our biggest fault with the resort is that the management of the hotel is horrible. Each day only 2 specialty restaurants are open and even then when you arrive at one of them on many occasions it was closed and when you went to the front desk to inquire why they insisted it was open. This occurred at least 3 of the days we were there. The food at the resort is also not up to par. We would never come back here again or recommend it to anyone that asks me. Read less
