We checked in on a Thursday evening- because this property is a timeshare, we were required to change rooms on Saturday. It was a huge inconvenience as we couldnt really unpack anything. To avoid this, you must stay between a Saturday to Saturday. In order to do any excursions they offered? We had to sit through a 90 minute time share presentation. We stayed in tower D on the 9th floor and two nights before the end of trip the elevator was down and never came back on. We had to walk up and down 9 flights of stairs including carrying our luggage down. The room service menu didnt have a lot of options, neither did the restaurants. They posted in kid activities a tie dye shirt project, we went down 15 mins before the activity started and they said they arent doing it because they dont have the materials and didnt have an activity to replace it with. I likely will not return.

we came with very low expectation knowing this is a cheaper all inclusive resort in cancun. we're like "the bad reviews about the food cannot be that bad, maybe people are just picky" but oh boy! half of the food in the buffet are just bad. and good luck on trying to reserve a dinner reservations in any of their restaurant, non-members can only reserve daily at 8am. i was first in line in the reservation kiosk at 8am and all they have is 9pm or they will tell you they're fully booked. the rooms are ok, feels like an old holiday inn but clean, the only saving grace for this is the palapa poolside restaurant called Charhut, we receive better service here that the buffet, the servers are friendlier and will refill your drinks promptly, also better food options like tacos, calamari, burgers because it's made fresh not like soggy fried food from buffet. ok, enough with the food. The beach around the resort is rough, not really safe to swim even for adults, even in a calm day. the pools were nice but not enough chairs and they tolerate people who reserve and not come back for hours.

Very nice resort, especially for the price point. Lower price point will have you second guessing but once you step on the property you’d be pleasantly surprised. Staff was amazing and efficient. If you’re looking for on property with activities it doesn’t come with a lot but they have a few shows and smaller activities like pool volleyball.
