The hotel is very jungly and we liked it; they have their own cenote you can swim in and their own ruins. Our kids really enjoyed the water park: they had slides for all ages. The beach was small but very nice.
The food was not very good. There were lines everywhere to get into a restaurant. We wanted to try Japanese restaurant but you had to sign up for it and there was no availability for the next 6-7 days. We tried Mediterranean restaurant which was ok, but we had to wait about an hour to get seated.

OkayNov 20195,4
Very clean and lots of facilities, lots of food options.
Food was repetitive, resort was very secluded. Also too big to navigate around. We also got chucked off one beach because we didn’t have the right wristband. Beach very rugged and rocky you can’t swim. Steakhouse had an hour wait most nights, food was not good.

ExcellentNov 20199,6
Room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The setting was more natural than most resorts. The value was excellent.
Food was variable. Mostly good. The beach was nice, but there was lots of coral and urchins requiring water shoes and great care, even in a few inches of water.
