We were disappointed at what we received. Booked a swim up room which was very pricey and when we were showed to our room we realized we were on the second floor. Obviously not a swim up. Guy showing us to our room was overly confused at how we booked. Went back to reception where the staff were also confused. I had to explain multiple times that we distinctly booked a swim up. Showed our confirmation which said swim up. Mass confusion. After staring at the computer for 10 mins they agreed that we booked a swim up but were being upgraded. We said “No thank you, we only came here for the swim up”. More confusion before they told us that they had no swim up’s in the category we booked. All were full. Confusion about why we didn’t want the upgrade and time ticking away. Finally they “found” a swim up but it wasn’t what we booked and they claimed it was an upgraded swim up but without the king bed we distinctly booked however, they would change it for a king bed the next day. Also the room wasn’t ready yet? Finally got to the room after 5PM which was the whole afternoon gone. It definitely was not an upgrade and we never heard from them again about the king bed. Weird smell of mold or sewer outside our room. No sun at all on our balcony the entire stay and our pool was way colder than the other pools. The area we had booked was always in sun, warmer pool and obviously where the king beds were. Pretty disappointing.

It is a quiet, charming resort with beautiful property. However, it would be nice to have more entertainment options and perhaps an additional restaurant. The food was underwhelming, and it was sometimes difficult to find seating at any of the restaurants. Room service was slow to the point of being impractical. On a positive note, the alcohol was all brand-name, and the drinks were excellent. The resort features several pools, including an adults-only area. I had expected a hot tub on-site, but it was only available in the spa, which required an additional fee. I was disappointed that you had to pay extra for day beds ($100 USD) and paddleboards, which appeared to be in poor condition. They also charged $2 per day for beach access. Additionally, my husband and I won a complimentary spa service, but they attempted to charge us for half of it.

The hotel was excellent. Hotel & rooms are spotlessly clean and well kept. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Food Beach House Restaurant This was where you have breakfast, lunch & dinner. Breakfast was acceptable with lots of choice. Most lunches you choose from a menu although we did not eat lunch here. Dinner was buffet with other choices from the menu. Food was ok but not exciting. Service was excellent. Rita Taco House Open for lunch until about 5pm Loved it here. Excellent food and service. Frank & Lola’s (Italian - need to book) Ate here once. Food was very cold and not great. Lumpy mashed potato and meat that looked steamed. Other people we spoke to seemed to like it, so maybe we had a different chef. Iatino (Fusion - need to book) Excellent food and service. We ate here many times and never disappointed. Blended Bar Smoothie bar, really good. Excellent friendly service with a big smile. Beech When we stayed, seaweed was being constantly washed up but they had a team clearing it away, so it was never a problem. Lots of sun-beds and beautiful soft white sand. Entertainment Lots going each and everyday. Live bands at the main pool bar most nights. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay (12 nights). Could not fault the hotel. The hotel is small with 149 rooms but it has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Nothing nearby but get an Uber to Puerto Morelos and have a wander around. We would certainly stay again. Download the APP.

We came back to this resort, but brought our children as the facility is family friendly, safe & fun. We went in December, so it’s likely that we visited during “down time” for PM services. Several pools were out of service, hottub wasn’t heating & there was an aroma of sewage outside our room. The room was nice, but our swim up area was small & water was milky looking, so we remained out of it. The 2 ladies that do the kids activities were beyond stellar!! I cannot recall their names, I believe Tonya and the other started with an “L” were caliber and attentive to our kids. Hands down the best part of our trip! All of our servers when we ate were also 5 star! They were attentive, got to know our kids & knew what we liked. Rose in Joe Merchants was a blessing! She was wonderfully sweet and remembered my girls names and what they wanted before they ordered. My girls loved to see her as much as they did to get a snack! I was slightly disappointed in the selection in Joe Merchant. When we visited a few months prior they had a large variety - including local fresh foods. This go round was processed foods and canned drinks only. The biggest concern I had with the resort, was o requested how to get a taxi to take us to a mall Or shopping as we had a mid size group with kids. We were pointed to the direction of the Excursion Desk next to the resort reservations desk. We booked an “excursion” assuming it was safe & jeapordized our trip, burning an entire day and never taken to shop.
