It was a very nice property, the only draw back was the non swimming beach and the vendors trying to sell you their wares on the outside of the fence by the infinity pools.

Resort is so amazing. Staff is incredible, we had a great experience. Rayna at the front was so knowledgeable and so kind. Pool waitresses celina and Elizabeth were very attentive. I will recommend this resort to everyone!

First of all we choose to pay extra to get an ocean view room, then they checked us in in mainly garden and pool noisy room with side partial ocean if you tiptoes from the balcony . Second, I forgot some cash in my airport backpack which got stolen , all management did was to make me fill a form and disappear until I left. It is an awful feeling to chose a five star hotel out of many others and you found out people went thought your personal stuff and open couple zippers to look for money to steal. Never went through such an incident for 15 years of traveling to Mexico beaches hotels.

I understand is not the right time to travel but the hotel should not state all inclusive when they don’t even have room service. They also left my door open when they did maintenance in my room came back AirPods were missing and they did nothing about it.

The hotel was great...however I was totally screwed by Travelocity. I booked my trip in November for February. Analyzed the cost over a couple of days prior to booking. Then booked for 2. When I checked in they only had me for 1. We had to pay an additional $1,400. When I compared the rate I paid in November for 2, it totally made sense compared to what my friends paid. Totally screwed by Travelocity. And they wouldn’t even help.
