Overall the property was okay. You get what you pay for. Budget friendly. I would say out of all other properties in Mexico I've stayed at, maybe 1 out of 10 employees said hi. Also we booked the resort due to the $500 resort credit mentioned on Expedia. I tried looking for the fine print on the credit and no where on Expedia info was provided . Once I got to resort employees were not helpful and kept saying we have to download app..... then finally the spa lady said it's a discount of
Up to 500 for different things . So very miss leasing and false advertising!!! I would need stay again due to better experience at a finer hotel but if it's your first time at an all inclusive or Mexico and not looking to spend much then I would recommend.
Kareli from the main lobby’s bar was the highlight of our trip. She went above and beyond with her friendly service and made our stay special. The only complaint and disappointment was the lack of night life, for an adults only resort; we expected dancing or some sort of nightly entertainment.
Staff was excellent. Patrons were generally annoying and drank too much. Staff did very little to stop them from over consuming alcohol, and we saw a lot of very messy situations. Noisy neighbors at all hours of the day partying and drinking too much.
Overall not a fan of the all inclusive services provided by resorts like this, as I feel that it encourages the worst machinations of humanity.
Also, resort is far from anything else in the city. When you’re here, you’re stuck with a bunch o drunk westerners instead of experiencing local culture.
But again, the staff and the hotel were not the problem. I was generally impressed with the grounds and the services. I just thought the clientele was icky and needed to be told “no” more frequently.
