Good value for the price that I paid. Staff was excellent and very friendly. Restaurant staff were very attentive. Room was good, a\c was really good. Gym was well equipped and open till 10 pm which was great. 2 nice big pools. The one area where they could do better would be the buffet food. I would serve fresh, natural juices instead of artificial ones, as well as real decaf coffee. Hash browns at breakfast would be great for Canadians, and maybe a bit more variety, particularly at supper time. I usually won’t complain about buffet food as it is what it is, but I think a few small chat would go a long way. To end positively, I was once again impressed by how friendly and professional all of the Mexican staff were.

Mosquitos everywhere, raccoon looking animals all over the place, the hotel is falling apart, food was disgusting, enjoyed the company. This place needs to be knocked down and rebuilt and they need to pay for an exterminator. The mosquito bites are all over my body.
