Grizzy, May 2019
Pros (+) They had a variety of places to eat on site.
Cons (-) Staff was rude, the place smelled of waste and the ocean was filthy and unswimmable with all of the seaweed waste accumulation.

Poor
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.

Pros (+) The food is amazing many choices to try different foods. The staff is very friendly, helpful and over all did a great job. We were very impressed with how everyone went out of their way to make our time there memorable.
Cons (-) There are not designated smoking areas and sometimes hard to avoid smoke. The shows at night are very fun and entertaining, but was very hot and smokey.

My room was great as well, a nice walk-in shower, good AC, a mini-fridge stocked daily with water, soft drinks, and beer. The room was a ground level garden view room, which I highly recommend. The ground floor rooms hav...
Cons (-) I found that sometimes the service was a bit lacking. This is often rare when visiting Mexico, as in the past I have found that the staff are generally quite eager to please. There were some good staff members of course - we had all lovely servers at the buffets, and Mario, who cleaned our room, was excellent. However, we encountered a number of average and below-average employees during our stay,...
