The Thompson is a modern Mexican hotel located on Playa Ropa. You can walk to restaurants and are an easy 5 min cab or 100 MXP to the center. We enjoyed our stay and ate at both of the restaurants on the property which were excellent. The massage was wonderful and if you need help with a tour they are accommodating. A lovely get away!

Nice but crazy expensive for what you get.

It is a nice property and nicely kept, but exceptionally expensive for what you get and will likely not repeat our stay here. We had a swim up suite and had the expectation that we would have beach ocean views from our suite which we definitely did not have. Our patio was much smaller than others and you could only see the beach from one corner. We would recommend swim up suites 8-11 definitely from what they looked like, but avoid 1-3 for sure. We complained about this given that it cost almost $2000 for 3 nights and were told they can offer complementary breakfast only for our disappointment. We were offered an upgrade to a beachfront suite for an additional $450 for 2 of the 3 nights of our stay, but felt that the property should have just offered the upgrade complimentary if the room was otherwise available so late in the day instead of risking to disappoint customers so much. Also, expect to pay high prices for drinks and food while on resort and we would recommend supporting local businesses nearby instead which were fantastic. Food wait staff were nice but very slow for beach service. Otherwise it is a very nice looking property and very clean.

This property is beautiful and conveniently located and the staff was incredible and extremely accommodating! The only reason I won’t give it five stars is due to our AC going out twice and our fire alarm low battery going off at 4 AM. For a four night stay, we had issues three of the nights. Otherwise, the rest of the stay was fantastic.

A classic resort we have visited for many years, but slowly losing its shine with Hyatt eliminating perks annually. Breakfast and lunch on the beach is wonderful, but dinners off site are a must. On site not good. Great beach and rooms.

Unsafe area - No warning, no refund

This hotel is in a part of Mexico that the US government lists as a "LEVEL 4 - DO NOT TRAVEL" area. Unfortunately, neither Hotels.com nor the Thompson mention that fact. And they are unwilling to refund the (expensive) room I booked. Buyer beware.

The furniture was very old, the bed was uncomfortable, the bedding had holes in it. I asked for my luggage to be picked up at 6:30 in the morning and no one showed up. I had to bring my luggage down from a second floor without an elevator. They forgot my request, they only apologized. Beautiful location, they need to pay more attention to services.
