Uma ótima experiência. Ficamos na suíte jr em frente ao mar e próx as duas piscinas. Só os restaurantes principais que ficavam longe. Limpeza do quarto foi excepcional, comida gostosa e diversa. O entretenimento muito bom, padrão Cancún. Achei que o tratamento deveria ser mais VIP pelo preço pago. Única critica foi para a troca de talheres. Voltaremos!

Likes: Lots of space to stretch out. Great value for the money spent. Dislikes: No dehumidifier in room, it stays wet inside. Allowing adults to carry drinks and food into pools. (The pool bar is fine, but when I see a plate of food on the outside of the pool edge and a pina coloda spill into the water by a drunk woman, it made us leave the pool that day.) Please enforce no food and drinks in the pool.

Pleasant spot

Nice spot , confort, clean and very pleasant, only cons I could find was the baby cart rented by hotel was really low quality and I regret not to have brought my own, as well the star-privillege reserved areas on the beach as kind senseless, as I paid almost 1000 extra to upgrade from Bahia to Selection it doesn't make any sense you have to pay further 2500 to stay in a front beach chair, it looks like hotel is trying to make money pushing charges to guests that are already paying a lot for the stay

Everything was perfect, except the check in and check out. We waited for hours for our room to be ready and when it was ready nobody told us, we were just sitting in the lobby for hours waiting. And for the check out the lady was so rude to us, she made us wait to check out, and she wasn’t doing anything, we just stood around waiting to check out and for her to get the taxi information to let him in to the resort. It’s my first time staying at this iberostar, the property is amazing but the front desk team should be more friendly!!
