    stunning view
    limited bathroom access

    The breathtaking vista from our Junior Suite Ocean View was truly unforgettable, and the staff's attentiveness around the pool area made our relaxation time exceptional.

    Unfortunately, there were only two small bathrooms available throughout the property, which could be inconvenient for larger families.

    noisy entertainment

    It all depends on your needs

    The buffet amazed me with its variety, offering different culinary delights each evening that surpassed any I’ve experienced before. The staff, especially at the pool, made every moment special, ensuring I was well taken care of.

    While the gym may not meet everyone's expectations for equipment variety, the nightly entertainment added a fun touch, though it might not appeal to those looking for tranquility.

    Great place for couples

    Fine ocean view from our Junior Suite Ocean View. Staff always bringing drinks to our loungers at the beach, felt like royalty. The little surprises from housekeeping every day like rose petals were just the cherry on top.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but I guess you pay for quality.

    An Unforgettable Stay with Amazing Cuisine Choices!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my 6-night family getaway! The Junior Suite Partial Ocean View offered breathtaking sights. Special shoutout to the gourmet touch at La Casa de las Flores and the flavorful dishes at Don Julio. For anyone staying, definitely explore the lively daytime entertainment by the pool!

    housekeeping surprise

    fine, fine, fine

    The ocean view from my Junior Suite was amazing, with the turquoise waves kissing the white sand. I loved how the attentive staff at the beach would bring drinks right to my sun lounger Plus, the little surprises from housekeeping, like rose petals on my bed, were just the sweetest touch.

    totally recommend 😍🌺

    quick service

    It was just a proper fit for a lightning stop in Cancun with excellent value for money. The staff at the beach were quick with drinks, making it effortless to enjoy the sun. Make sure to ask for a room with a better view if you get the chance.

    The variety of water activities like kayaking and bodyboarding kept the kids entertained all day. Our Junior Suite Partial Ocean View was stunning, and the poolside vibes were perfect for relaxing while enjoying drinks brought to our lounges by the attentive staff.

    exceptional service
    limited gym
    small pool area
    initial check-in wait

    The stay was highlighted by stunning ocean views from the Junior Suite Ocean View and the vibrant atmosphere throughout the resort. Buffet offerings exceeded expectations, providing varied cuisine each night, particularly impressive for red meat lovers. The staff's exceptional attentiveness included housekeeping changing sheets regularly and even mopping floors, showcasing a commitment to cleanliness. While the amenities were great, the gym felt somewhat limited for those seeking a robust workout experience.
