Trashy place, way too expensive for what they offer. Poor quality food and drinks. I would avoid
If you like staying at a cookie cutter hotel (think Las Vegas) this place is for you. It is full of tourists and there are lots of families. Not a place I would recommend if you are going with friends or for a romantic getaway. As it is an all inclusive do not expect amazing food either, food and drinks were regular, nothing out of the ordinary. The room was ok and spacious, but it smelled like mold and my allergies flared up. It was also very noisy with lots of kids running around.
resort in great condition Except ROOMs ! so old ! in need of remodeling asap ! specially bathroom very old and rusted
This is the fourth all inclusive resort we’ve stayed at in the last 10 years and was the nicest. All the other resorts were in similar price ranges. The food was good, even on the buffets. All the staff was friendly even though there might have been a language as I don’t speak Spanish.
the main deal breaker for us was that there were no hot Jacuzzi's in the entire resort. we were looking forward to evening relaxation in hot water not cold pools. In Winter months it is essential. second issue is that the food was not up to par with a 5 star resort. the coffee in the buffet restaurants was always lukewarm. lastly, our room A/C was not functioning well and we spent two nights muggy which is understandable to a point but the front staff gave us no credits or sympathy for it. you pay high dollar for all to work well and when it doesn't they should, at the very least, try to compensate in some way.
Cheap food. Juices and some drinks are watered down. Coffee was always cold. Low reception/wifi in room. Low electricity. Breakers would snap as soon as we turned on hair dryer or iron! Small bathtub!! NO jacuzzi, unless you pay extra to use the spa which has services too high to afford!! Restaurants take loooong to sit you and then another hour or two to bring your food!!
The lighting in the room was terrible. I had to use my phone to read at night. The food was just ok. Being a large group, it was very difficult to plan dinner as most places wouldn't make a reservation for us. The pools and beach were lovely. The activities were pretty good.
We took our 2 adult children, their spouses and grandson and had an extraordinary trip. Staff is wonderful, especially Rosa. They went beyond expectations, for example with the trams and being so accommodating. Food is excellent and ocean was gorgeous. This was our Christmas gift and they all want to return next year.
Great Beaches with coral reef near to see, Great Staff, Clean Rooms. Room was chilly at first and we couldn't get the ac adjusted properly so we just shut it off and that was okay for us. We stayed there in October not sure about the summer time.
They put us in the wrong room for the first two nights. We should have had two queens and a sofa sleeper, they only had one King and a sofa sleeper. The sleeper didn't even pull out to a level bed, it had a hump/drop in it. The food at the buffets was mediocre, the actual sit down restaurants were much better
We just got back from a weeklong stay at the GP Kantenah and we had a wonderful family vacation. The hotel and facilities are quite nice, the staff is friendly and helpful, and there are a lot of activities you can participate in (or not). The only negatives we had were the food, particularly in the buffets, was rather mediocre and requests for things from the staff, such as restocking the minibar or sending a tram, often took several phone calls to get it done. The kids loved the pool and the water park. All the wildlife roaming the grounds was a lot of fun to see. The setting and the beaches are gorgeous.
Despite emailing & calling in advance; despite reminders immediately upon arrival (AND I speak/write fluently in Spanish)...the Staff continually outed the surprise event we had arranged for 8 guests. Every day we would speak to someone about something that had been divulged. Every day something new was disclosed. VERY disappointing. Other than that: Staff was friendly; accommodations were clean; variety of foods offered. Rooms do need more outlets for charging electronics. Vacation Club pitches got to be annoying. No means no.
We enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed in some aspects of the facility. The beach and the pool were conveniently located; however the pool was too deep for some of our family members to enjoy and we found we had to continuously swim in order to get to the pool bar or to the other side of the pool. The kiddie pool and beach were great and both were conveniently located. The staff was very personable to everyone.
From check in to check out, everything was great! Angel deserves a special thanks and he is great! We had a room 8 steps from the beach and beach bar was right there. This place is huge with numerous restaurants which were way better than most all-inclusives. In fact any I have ever been to; especially the filet at the steakhouse! The pool was great with a great setting although we just walked by to check it out. With our room right on the beach in the very last villa and considering we are beach people we spent most of the days in the ocean or lounging on the beach. We even purchased goggles at the gift shop. There is a reef about 100 meters out where you can see all types of fish and reefs. Beautiful! There is something for EVERYONE here whether you are 3 or 83. Great resort and will visit again!
We stayed here for 2 nights. The food is very good. You can eat at the specialty restaurants every night, but in the end we felt like the buffets were best. The ice cream there seemed homemade and was especially good. The beach is nice with palm trees for shade, but they don't bring you drinks at the beach like they do at the resort next door. There is no good snorkeling at the beach there at all. You will have to buy a snorkel trip if you want to snorkel. There are tons of animals around the resort, which was cool,but there are also tons of mosquitos. Buy I think all of Riviera Maya is that way. Bring bug spray. The resort is huge but they have a lot of carts to drive people around and we never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride. The swimming pools are all 5 feet deep which I find makes them a little too cool and not relaxing, but they look beautiful. Most of the resort staff are super friendly and helpful but others are not. The segway tour offered at the resort was a highlight for my husband. The shows didn't start until 10:15, and we were to tired to go that late.
very organized and clean. There was activity everyday and we didn't have to leave the resort. It was one of the best hotel I have been to. Very clean and very nice staff members.
This is an excellent resort overall. It is shared by 4 other resorts offering all activities to all. The beach is beautiful and you can snorkel right there. We took a side trip to Chicheniza... Aztec ruin. Food was fine and rooms very comfortable.
