Its all about the Staff here in addition to the splendid property and food!

Pros: We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows and had our own private beach access, lounge chairs, even hammocks. THUMP THUMP THUMP My spouse is AFAB non-binary, post-chest surgery and was able to lie in the sun without a top -- something hard to do in a lot of beach spaces. The room looked nice and the bed was comfortable; toilet was separate from sinks and shower, which always helps with 2 people. THUMP THUMP THUMP Cons: The hotel next door plays really loud music from mid-afternoon until midnight or 2am, depending on the night. It's not Maya's fault, but the sound carries over the beach. We chose to go to Tulum because we heard it was quieter than Cancun, but this is unfortunately in the party district. THUMP THUMP THUMP I was able to tune out the music with ear plugs, but this meant that there was no falling asleep to the sound of the waves. My spouse had a harder time with it and had to take sleep aids because the THUMP THUMP THUMP was driving them insane. The lighting in the room is very ambient and relaxing at night, but there is almost no light by the bathroom mirror. THUMP THUMP THUMP If you want to put on makeup or shave, leave the room and find one of the random mirrors gracing the grounds around the hotel. At night, forget it. The restaurant turned us away at 5pm when they close at 6, told us to come back at 8. When we got food at 9 it was cold and underwhelming. If the THUMP THUMP THUMP in this review drives you nuts, look for a different hotel.

The service on the resort from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave is outstanding. Every employee goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is wonderful. The restaurants make you feel like a king and the food is unbelievable. We have been here numerous times and each time it gets better. We will be back soon.

Always my go-to hotel when traveling to Cancun! Love, love,love!

Beautiful property. Plenty of dining options, service is exceptional. Travelled with a toddler. Felt safe as a family. Room was dated, but mostly comfortable. Several different pools around the property. All were easy to access except the main pool which was challenging/near impossible to get seats at unless you claimed some before 10am. Beach was beautiful. Entertainment was fun.
