Dining experience could be better. The restaurants had food that was under par. We tried different restaurants and the verdict was same, poor quality that missed the mark of the restaurant's theme.

This is a beautiful resort.The grounds are gorgeous and are immaculate! The wonderul sandy beach is perfect for a swim or float. You can also snorkle on site. Rooms are comfortable and well furnished. The staff is amazing, and goes out of their way to make sure that your every need is met. With a vast array of restaurants, food is plentiful and is very good.

This is not a 5 star resort but it is still very nice. Excellent service and food. Beautiful beach but the seas were pretty rough. Some seaweed but that’s expected. Cons: Room a/c cannot keep up with the heat WiFi not so great in the rooms Pros: Marco - palapa waiter Eduardo - Albatros server Nancy - front desk Food at Albatros was excellent as was the food available when you rent a beach palapa ($45) Room is basic but all one would need.

The resort was clean, pleasing, and plenty of space. The food however left something to be desired. I feel that quality was sacrificed for quantity. Even the "nicer" dining areas were somewhat of a disappointment. The Flame was a total disappointment. The grilled chicken wasn't grilled and was very dry. The Strip steak wasn't what a Strip steak should be and was mostly fat and gristle. The food at the grills at the pool and the party were fantastic. The staff was great.

The people working at the hotel is what made this trip special. We had an incredible experience with every one of the following staff members: Hector at front desk, Enrique (Kiké) and Camilo from the lobby bar, JJ from the pool bar, Leonardo and the male manager at the Mexican restaurant, Oscar from entertainment, Ariel Ozuna the activities guide, David with the special presentation, and all of the following from the spa: Mayeli the receptionist, Miriam and Oscar the assistants, and Luis and Minerva the masseuses
