2/10 Poor

Terrible resort
Worst Mexican resort I’ve ever been to and we stayed in the nicest part - the casitas. The resort is in terrible condition, food is disgusting, and the worst part is the service. The employees mislead you about requests, golf carts never come, maids don’t give you bath towels. The check in and checkout process were awful. We sat for 30 minutes waiting for a golf cart to take us to the casitas after we arrived at the resort. At checkout, their credit card machine wasn’t working, so I was forced to take out money and incur $40 fee that they would not deduct from my bill. When I asked for a manager they said he was busy with another client. The employees at the front desk were nasty and rude. I would never come back to this DUMP.

Great resort! Don't count on management for help!
This was our 18th trip to a Mexico all-inclusive resort. We can say by far one of the nicest resorts we have stayed at. The food was fabulous with the service and staff being outstanding. But unfortunately, hotel management decided to do construction on the room next to ours on our last full day at the resort. Sad part for us it was our 32nd wedding anniversary. Construction started in the morning and continued throughout the day. Our outdoor space was basically under construction with workers doing heavy demo all day then running chainsaws only feet from our porch. We had debris falling into our space and swim-out pool making them both unusable the entire day. We expressed our disappointment with the lobby staff and were assured management would be notified. We also expressed our disappointment in the resort app chat section and were assured they were sorry. We left the room for a few hours for lunch and when we came back our entire porch was covered in debris and there were electrical wires in our swim-out pool making the entire area unsafe. We again spoke with multiple staff members about the issue and even our safety concerns and we only got automated messages saying they were sorry they did not meet their own standards. The cleaning staff was scared to even go on the back porch, and we ended up calling maintenance ourselves to get the exposed wires out of the pool. We never got any acknowledgement from management of our concerns.

I loved the Casita concept. Each group was like a small village with it's own pool with swim up bar and it's own personal concierge to aid you with reservations to excursions. The property is quite large but they have a great system of large golf cart shuttles running every 10 to 15 minutes to take you anywhere you need. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. We will be back.

I will not be going back to this resort. The female chef in the health bar was rude. I found many other members of the hotel staff to be rude and inconsiderate. I received a hamburger from room service that was bitten in to, they tried to serve me an omelet with raw egg at cocotail. I complained to multiple staff members during my trip and nothing happened our toilet broke, we had no hot water for 3 days. The shuttle service was a joke. This place dropped the ball in multiple areas and i felt like i made a mistake by spending my hard earned money with them. Please dont make the same mistake stay far away from this place.

The staff was wonderful and did everything they could to meet your needs and expectations. The property and grounds were well maintained. The food was better than average for an all-inclusive resort. It was a very relaxing, peaceful, and tranquil vacation. I would definitely return again.

Aside from the shops closing due to the hurricane and a few communication issues with not knowing when we could leave our room again after the hurricane had passed it was a good stay.

It is pretty but..Too much walking, no snacks for the afternoon.. only restaurants and are far away. The golf karts take a very long time to pass. Food is not very good, only breakfast that is very good.

2/10 Poor

the staff was rude, and inconvenienced, wait times for the shuttle were over an hour. Because it was my birthday they offered to make up for the arrival surprise that was paid for and not fulfilled. When booking, they FALSELY advertised that Casitas residents get a personal butler. Not once did anyone show up unless we called even during the day. Also, when we called, they would hang up on us. When we raised our concerns the concierge promised us a complimentary bottle of wine for our reversed romantic dinner to make it up to us. I speak fluent Spanish so i did not misunderstand. The restaurant staff did not know AT ALL what was promised to us and they tried to force us to sign for a tip while also blindsiding us with a $400 bottle of wine that is actually worth only $70 without telling us. We spent over $400 USD tipping the staff during our stay. We spoke with the concierge, manager, and restaurant staff and no one acknowledged any of our complaints. Furthermore, my wife was not shown any respect by the managerial/concierge staff and they continually ignored her because is an American Woman and I am a Hispanic Man so they ignored her, and disrespected her over and over again. the lace is just for weddings but not for a nice 5 star resort.

This is without a doubt my favorite hotel in the world. The staff is so friendly. The grounds are stunning. The services are phenomenal. The spa is 10/10. I’ve never ever had a bad meal here. You owe it to yourself to come back here- I will! This is my third time and it only gets better every time.

Mostly wonderful.
The property is beautiful. It’s very large and spread out. There are 3 large sections. One section accommodates people with children under 18. Another is all casitas, adults only, larger rooms, each section of casitas with its own pool and swim up bar. The other section is adults only but all hotel rooms. A very large pool area is available. Restaurants throughout the properties. Only slight annoyance was maid service. One evening we came back, turn down had occurred, but all towels were taken and not replaced. Another night, we noticed our water and snacks were not replenished. Another time coffee pods had not been replenished. All was fixed after a call to housekeeping. Otherwise, an excellent property & vacation property. Would return again.

I loved the staff, everyone was so nice. The property was stunning and well kept. However, the management of the property needs attention.I ordered room service and never recieced it, twice , even after calling to confirm that it was still coming it never came. Prepare to do alot of walking even though there are alot of golf carts around...most of them are speeding around the property narrowly avoiding running over the guest...not giving rides.

This was the best trip to Mexico we've experienced in the past several years, and we have visited Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya (another resort), and Cancun. The food was delicious at every restaurant, the staff were extremely helpful and nice, and all grounds and rooms were immaculately clean every day. Amazing place!
