"Overall this is a nice resort. We stayed in early March during prime time. That being said here are the pros and cons:
Pros
- overall it is a nice resort with various things to do and pools to lounge around
- staff were friendly and worked hard to make our stay pleasant
- the food was good, and they had a good selection of drinks with name brands
- bar service was usually pretty quick and there were bars and snack places at each pool
- we mostly ate at the à la carts and enjoyed the food
- we discovered late that the resort app offered free room service (between certain hours) called Ocean Eats, which offered fast food style lunch and snacks, it was great for us because we had a swim up room and had lunch by the pool
- the rooms were large, beds comfortable, and were cleaned daily with the usual towel sculpture
Cons
- we’ve stayed at other Mexican 5-stars and, in comparison, this would be a 4.5-star
- the buffet is small and poorly laid out leading to long lines at the egg stations and for buffet items
- the buffet lacked the fresh items we’ve had at other resorts
- we had issues getting longe chairs around the pools which is unusual for 5-star resorts
- the resort uses towel cards with penalty for lost cards
- the resort is long and thin and offers shuttles, these were inconsistent and we often just walked (our mother who has some mobility issues)
- too many signs for expensive upsells
- had to reserve à la carts which weren’t always open
- lots of waiting"
