Sure, here's a revised version: --- The hotel is not bad, but it is not the best either. Many parts are under construction. There are only two buffets, which at night are used as restaurants with reservations. The staff is very good, although they try to sell you programs that, according to them, are no longer "time shares," but in my opinion, it's the same dog with a different collar. They tell you that they will give you a welcome breakfast and that they need 90 minutes of your time, which turns into almost 3 hours. We paid $7.00 USD for a hotel taxi to take us from the lobby to the hotel entrance because the tour bus could not come to pick us up. The room is not bad, but it is not the most beautiful; it is a bit old. There is only one swimming pool, although it is quite large. If you travel like I do with the all-inclusive package expecting to enjoy Coronas 🍻, let me tell you that this is not part of the all-inclusive. The check-in service is a little disorganized, and the heat is horrible. The beach has a lot of seaweed, and I didn't really have time to enjoy it. In conclusion, if you are looking for something economical just to sleep and barely be in the hotel, it is a good option.

After reading comments about this property and it’s staff before our trip, I did lower my expectations already. The property was massive. Staff are incredibly great and helpful and respectful. Some may find them very rude maybe because most of them does not understand nor speak english. Despite this, they still try their best to help us in every way they can. Food, I may say is very sub par, they can do better. The only time we enjoyed our meal was when we had dinner at the Italian restaurant. My daughter had a blast! She was given a second entree when she asked and our server gladly gave her the lamb chops that she asked. They truly made her day ( she was sick and is on bed the entire day). The downside is that we had to make dinner reservations the day before. Our Steak night dinner was such a disappointment. As I’ve said, they can do better. My daughter had the duck, in which we have to pay extra (around 20 usd). Steak and duck are both salty. They asked me to sign the charge slip even before our dessert was served, which by the way took them forever. Maybe they did this because my husband and my MIL left before dessert was served. Avoid breakfast and lunch at the buffet area by the beach, so much flies! Drinks, all are too sweet for my liking. The cocktails are so sweet it can give me diabetes. The only cocktail that I liked was their margarita. Pool closes at 7 pm, too early! Beach area is ok. Beach along the hotel zone is way more better!

The resort was clean, beautiful beaches beautiful pool the food and drinks were great the service was excellent the entertainers were very friendly and very good, overall was a great experience I would recommend the resort to anyone and I will definitely be going there again. The only downside is unfortunately the little coatis (raccoon) in the balcony in the room all day and night we weren’t able to enjoy the view from our balcony because the coatis was taking over our balcony, we understood they are not dangerous but it is somewhat uncomfortable having them in your balcony if you leave the door a little open they will definitely come in your room, they are animals and not dangerous but they should try to come up with a way of trying to keep them out of the balcony. Other than that it is a great resort.

We had to change rooms 3 times. Once for broken doors etc. and secondly BED BUGS our room was fumigated and they expected us to sleep in that room for the remainder of our stay. Don’t waste your time or money on this resort!!! Not a 5 star more like 1/2 a star! Nasty all together. Food was awful!! Don’t let the photos on the website fool you!

There are common areas that desperately need maintenance, as well as within the rooms (air con wasn’t working when we arrived and were told it was across the entire building, and took few hours to get working). WiFi dropped constantly and lifts were on and off too. Staff were amazing, which is what made the stay better.

Could you believe the only thing I liked here was the wild life only. The beach was so dirty, when we wanted to talk to management or any higher up’s there was nobody in charge. they only send you to the Concierge (which they do for any problem you have). We were a couple and we asked for king size bed that they never gave us even after we asked 3 different times and got moved to different rooms that were worst than the last. The WiFi was atrocious and some employees there need to be humbled because they have terrible egos. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all to anyone.

The way they train the staff to just say no to everything asked is frustrating. There was no space for dining, even when making reservations the food was not good nor was the service timely. Waited over an hour and never brought our drinks. Made sure to keep us there long enough for the buffet to be closed when we got out. Pools were dirty. Rooms stunk like some kind of sewer smell coming up from the pipes in the bathroom. Everything was outdated and in need of attention. Beach was not clean. I’m grateful for excursion that got us out of the resort bc it was definitely a 1 star experience from the moment we got there. The golf carts will pass you by and wave even when you are flagging them down for a ride. I’m very disappointed in this location and this was my 3rd time to Cancun. Will be sure to avoid this place in the future!
