Quick 2 night stay on the mainland
This is a nice little property. My husband and I spent 2 nights here on a split resort trip. The 5 o'clock somewhere pool bar is definitely where most of the resort activity is. And the bartenders are great! We weren't there long enough to experience all of the restaurants but we did the Landshark Grill, Italian restaurant, room service and the buffet (breakfast). Gabino at the buffet for breakfast was great! He kept the mimosas flowing! I could have been tipsy by 10A, Ha! My husband and I don't care for buffets but Gabino made our time at breakfast stand out.
For the price point, this resort is great for a quick stop. Due to the limited restaurant/entertainment options I don't know that I would stay more than 4 nights at a time but it was perfect for how we split this trip up.
I will be back! Best experience ever! Avid traveller
I have travelled to cancun more than 20 times and have always done all inclusives only 5 star resorts.
I prefer luxury, small and walkable.
This was the best experience ever! And the price was 50% cheaper than most I’ve stayed at.
The service was 100/10 Food was 100/10 Room 100/10 (swim up luxury jr suite)
Everything 100/10
I don’t have one complaint.
It was my husband’s 40th bday and at breakfast the staff all came out blindfolded him and sang with a cake! We tipped at every meal more than we usually do because the staff and service was that good!
I even had too much wine at dinner the first night 😵💫 and left my Louis Vuitton purse at the restaurant, and the next morning I asked front desk and they had it with all contents.
I have never wanted to return to a resort more than here. I can’t understand the negative reviews, and was hesitant to book. Only because I usually prefer a more luxury vibe, but this was luxury!
So glad I chose this hotel!
Wonderful staff, beautiful resort
My husband and I took a quick 4 day trip. From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly, they also serve you margarita popsicles while you cheek in. The service at Breakfast every morning was outstanding. Erick was so quick to carry my plate back to our table. Noel and Gabino also made sure I had endless mimosas and coffee. The tacos are fabulous, at license to chill bar. Dinner was all wonderful, we arrived on a Saturday and got to watch the 80s show while having dinner at the Buffett. Excellent performance.
The bartenders are quick and made fabulous drinks. And they never ran out of mint for my endless mojitos.
We will be back sooner than later.
Outstanding vacay
Sergio is wonderful! Made my time here fabulous. I will definitely be coming back next September.
