Positive: The resort itself is stunning, large natural gardens, local wildlife which adds a unique touch. Staff at restaurants, pools, and rooms were courteous. The food was OK, buffets were mostly repetitive. We didn’t find but few authentic Mexican options, items like quesadillas were unavailable. Opportunities: Check-in and Luggage Delivery: Upon arrival, we entrusted our luggage to the bellboy, were told it would be promptly delivered to our room. After a lengthy check-in process and a forced return to the lobby to get a functioning room key, it took another 30 minutes to get our luggage Room Condition: The bathroom sink was cracked; Both sofa cushions were stained, with unclear origins (e.g., oil, wine, other?). Despite requesting replacement, they were never changed, forcing us to cover them with towels. Adult-Only Pool Area: Children were often present despite the multiple family-friendly pools available. This, along with guests drinking inside the pools, leaving empty cans and glasses -many ended inside the pool-, suggested a lack of supervision. Dress Code: At the Steak House, we observed guests dressed in Tank & shorts despite a stated dress code. The hostess indicated she was unable to enforce the policy. All-inclusive? we were surprised by the extra charges for certain wines, liquors and food We believe that with better oversight into cleanliness, logistics, organization, and policy enforcement, the resort has great potential.

We were placed in Siberia. So far away from the main lobby that most of the time we had to wait for transportation. At time was so uncomfortable because of the heat/humidity and the hotel personnel questioning us if we had “time” to hear their hotel membership sales.

I would have to start by saying that the staff was genuinely courteous and respectful. This was our first time traveling to Cancun. I picked the hotel thinking that we were going to have some kind of discount to the actual xcaret park but NO. The facilities were very well maintained and clean. On the contrary I think our room was not quite “ready” the bathroom area was clean but the shower, not too much. Hopefully this survey allows me to share pictures. We voiced our concerns to the front desk but nothing was done. I will not mentioned the persons name as I do not know if it was their fault or someone else’s. If I travel to Cancun again I will check another resort, this one was not cheap and to be honest we were not that impressed.

The staff makes this place and the experience super. Conveniently located at Xcaret and with tons of things and to do and places to be. The best was the beach area but again, the staff was very pleasant and attentive. I even forgot my bag (with wallet, passports) on my way to airport, and one of their staff member went above and beyond to locate me, called and saved the date.

The food was great! We loved that the food options for dinner changed every night at the buffet. The rooms are old and the headboard smelled like a wet towel. If you're looking to party this is not the place. The customer service was ok some staff were friendly and others were not.

The facility is a very nice place to stay. However, I had a few issues with the food, especially the breakfast, which was quite lacking. There weren’t many food options, though the 'make your own egg' section was excellent. Overall, the food was good, and we tried all the options. My personal ranking of the cuisines would be: seafood first, followed by Asian, Italian, tacos, pizza, and lastly, the steakhouse. Unfortunately, the steakhouse didn’t meet my expectations, and I wish we had skipped it.The entertainment was very good, especially the dancing chicken. However, I do have one major complaint: the room service. We called three times for toothpaste, and although they promised to bring it to us, we never received any throughout our stay. Additionally, it was very difficult to reach the front desk, as it usually took four or more attempts before someone picked up.
