Summary of reviews

Guests say
The majority of guests expressed significant dissatisfaction with the hotel's service, citing issues such as unresponsive staff, slow check-in, poor handling of complaints, and a lack of empathy. Cleanliness was another major concern, with multiple reports of dirty rooms, unpleasant odors, presence of cockroaches, and inadequate housekeeping. Many guests also found the amenities lacking or in poor condition, including broken elevators, deteriorated facilities, and limited food variety, especially at breakfast. While a few positive remarks were made about friendly staff and some enjoyable meals, these were overshadowed by the numerous negative experiences.

Alberto, May 2019
Pros (+) Mexican food was good. They gave out coconuts every other day.
Cons (-) Rooms were moldy and full of mosquitoes. Black mold was found in walls and curtains. Some staff expect you to tip then even though this is an all inclusive resort where taxes and tips are included in the price.
