We spent 5 nights here with our 2 and 5 year old. From the champagne welcome to the seamless checkout, we had a head to toe wonderful time. I read ALL of the comments prior to booking and almost changed our reservations due to some consistent commentary on the food, hot water situation, yucky beach, etc. None of these were an issue for us. Was the beach mucked up, sure, but 3/5 days it was cleared up enough (mostly thanks to staff who relentlessly attempted to keep it clean) that my kids spent hours enjoying watching the waves and collecting shells. The food was absolutely incredible. Some of the best meals we’ve ever had and besides the buffet, never ate at the same restaurant twice. We had zero issues with the hot water in our room. Lastly, the staff was just so accommodating and kind to our whole family, just so incredibly friendly. My only real note would be that having a portal or some kind of app that electronically shows what’s available and when everyday would be helpful. They just had paper copies of all the important information. Very happy that we kept our reservation and would definitely return

Lovely staff. Very clean resort. Rooms spacious & clean. Comfortable beds. AC worked well & not too loud. Lovely balconies. Liked that the shower, double sinks & toilet were all separate therefore accessible to more than 1 person for different needs at the same time. However, the door to the toilet in our room was just frosted glass without a proper door knob, not great privacy or easy to open/close due to the lack of door knob (a minor detail). Buffet & restaurant staff great & very accommodating esp for picky eaters:) outdoor property well maintained & has nice pools. It was great there wasn’t an extra charge for the cabanas either. The beach front for this resort was mainly kept free of sargassom & had a good number of palapas that were cabana style. This was a surprise because next door was the Hyatt ziva & their beachfront was no where near as nice as Palmar’s. The food at the buffet & restaurants has a nice variety/selection. The 24hr room service convenient but could be hit or miss (our son a bit picky & they didn’t get his order right twice). Overall a lovely resort, great value for what we paid. A great experience for our family but if I were a single looking for a partying atmosphere, probably a resort along the Cancun strip would be more ideal. This was perfect for us as it was relaxing & felt very safe (but not walkable to any town or off property restaurants, same could be said for any of the other resorts near this one).

Great service and rooms

The corner room exceeded expectations. We had a butler and free room service daily. Staff super friendly and helpful from moment arrive to door. Thank you Janet and Freddie making it extra special. Food overall was good (just order steaks well done as were undercooked). Restaurant options were good. Overall totally enjoyed stay and facilities. Beach is disappointed just because of the location and not clear but by no fault of hotel. Location is a little isolated but we urbered around. If beach was better I would go here yearly:)

Beautiful!!! The grounds are wonderfully kept, the rooms are modern and clean, the food was fantastic, and the staff is one to admire. We had the room with the swim up pool. It was the best decision! Our room was close to the pool bar and Bettyna was on call! Her friendly and attentive service made our stay all the better. We will most definitely return.

The resort persistently pressured us to purchase a timeshare. The restaurant operated only on select days, and the quality of the food was average at best. Additionally, the rooms were in disrepair and could have benefited from more thorough cleaning.

An excellent resort I recommend it!!

The staff here are the highlight of the resort! From the front desk to the service staff to the housekeeping and maintenance personnel!!! Everyone is extremely attentive, friendly, professional, and caring. I have traveled to many all inclusive in many countries as well as cruise often and this staff really stood above the rest. I chose a swim up room with a hot tub outside and it was worth the upgrade. The room was very modern and the finishes were luxurious. The grounds were manicured. The pools were crystal clear and clean. The staff works around the clock to maintain the property. We tried 2/3 of the dinner restaurants and the food options were great and the quality was superb by U.S. standards. The morning and lunch buffets included mimosas and Bloody Marys. The selection was plentiful as well as a made to order omelette station. The bars had quality liquor and no plastic bottle liquor which was a pleasant surprise. The beach was nice but there was quite a bit of seaweed but that is expected this time of year. They had staff cleaning it up all day. The hotel was a 20 minute drive from Cancun airport. I would suggest an uber or a scheduled taxi service so you don’t get price gouged walking out of the airport. An uber back was 20 usd or 400 mxp. I did order the up charge lobster for dinner and while it was the nicest presentation and portion I’ve ever had, it was $75! But there are plenty of included options on the menu including shrimp and steak. Stay here!!

The resort was very nice, food was great and staff was amazing. During our stay our building lost power on our 2nd day and we were relocated. Our original room was Deluxe Swim Up room and our new room was a standard room. There was no apology or attempt to be compensated which was disappointing. After getting settled into our new room we experienced a water leak. When turning on the shower, water rained out of the ceiling vent. Maintenance was quick to respond and repair. I understand the property is under new management and in the process of some revamps. We would be happy to visit again once they have had time to settle in.
