We stayed here six years back with little kids and returned with another family and teens. There’s lots to do, decent food at any time (a new app to make reservations easier) and sunny perfection. The staff was helpful and kind. We saw monkeys almost daily early about 7-8am near the swings or water park. The biggest slides of the park are closed due to maintenance and one night power went out. The staff did a great job pivoting. One of our five kids did get food poising that lasted about 24 hours. The rest of us had no issues. Overall a great experience

The property is pretty. A ton of vegetation. The wild life is everywhere, which is neat but also a nuisance. They come and steal food from you. The food is okay, just not a lot of variety. Entertainment is lacking as far as shows. We did go to the spa which was great. Other than the hot tub didn’t work, which we were not told before hand. The biggest issue was hot water in the rooms. We rarely had better than lukewarm. We tried at many different times of the day including 5:00 am and later evening. We were told it just takes time for it to get to the room but we let it run for an excessive amount of time and no luck. Our children 10,11 and 12 did enjoy the water park. The “Teen Lite Club” needs some attention, very disappointed with that. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Staff & service
The good: -The nightly shows were amazing!! The performers were absolutely brilliant. I truly enjoyed every show. -The rooms were cleaned every day. They were modern, and had good AC. -Lovely cenotes on the property. Well maintained grounds.  We enjoyed seeing the monkeys around the resort, especially the babies. -The beach was very pretty and well kept. However, we prefer a beach with less rocks.  Very difficult to enjoy the water here without scraping, cutting yourself. The not so good: -It's almost impossible to get reservations at the restaurants. If you wake up at midnight to reserve, you may or may not get lucky.  Doesn't help that some restaurants are closed on certain nights. -Buffets were mediocre, with long lines.  There is very limited food options between service hours. Not ideal for people who arrived from a different time zone. -Constantly trying to be upsold an exclusive/royal/elite membership. There's not a single hammock/cabana in a family friendly non-exclusive area of the resort.  These are things that you usually don't have to pay extra for.  There are also multiple restaurants that you will not have access to without purchasing the membership. -Our mini fridge didn't get stocked for the first 5 days.  Compared to the other resorts in the area, service was poor. -Lastly the raccoons. I know it is a eco resort, and one of the main reason we choose this resort was because of this theme.  That being said the racoons are out of control.

An ok family resort Cuisine: We aren’t very big “foodies” and don’t wine and dine around for the finest food. We are very basic and were pretty disappointed in the food. We were only able to get to the international buffet. The other buffet wasn’t worth it compared. Expect long wait to get any drink and don’t expect to be offered a refill. Expect to see a lot of wildlife. We didn’t mind and they didn’t mind us. Workers are working so hard to keep this mini village alive and clean. I can’t imagine the work that goes into maintaining it here. Expect to walk.. lots. It’s very rare to get a room close to the pool/beach or the water park. Aqua park: this is the main reason we booked here. We have two young children and we knew they would be busy there for hours. There was 3 main waterslide areas. The main area tailored to small children, the mid level, and the bigger water slides. We had no idea there was height requirements for the slides. We weren’t able to go on the small and mid level even with our nervous kids. Which was a let down. Our 7 year old couldn’t go on the big ones and was super disappointed the others were to amateur for his age. We weren’t really sure why he couldn’t go on those since most of the big ones you’d see in a standard hotel. Beach: very rocky. Wear water shoes or take your time. Weather: we travelled mid Dec and only had one sunny day out of 7. Make sure you take the umbrellas they have in the rooms! Most workers don’t speak English so trying t

The service wasn’t good at all, hard to get food and the only food you can get after 11 is burrito, and they weren’t very good. My kid was starving and we couldn’t get room service. We have to have a black bracelet. My last resort I stayed at you can get room service anytime doesn’t matter what kind of bracelet you have.. there was no snacks or food in our room only on the first day of arrival. Would not recommend staying here and will not be staying here again.
