    Enjoyed my stay at this resort in Cancun for the week before hitting Tulum. The customer service was amazing and it wasn't too crowded. Our room was very clean with huge windows and a nice view. I didn't hop in the pool bar area but it looked pretty cool from what I could see. The free breakfast was amazing, plus a WONDERFUL view in the outside seating area. The food served near the pool wasn't bad at all for this being an all inclusive resort. I would stay here again for sure.

    The views on this resort are stunning. The beach is literally a few feet away. There are two pools one with a pool bar. I was there for a total of five days. Every dayThe pool bar was closed around 10 or 11 PM. Most all inclusive stay open all night. Also, the food was BAD. There's no nicer way of saying it. Everything lacked flavor and did not look appealing. The staff was extremely friendly. Overall I would probably not come back and book somewhere with better food and closer to outside excursions. I ended up spending money just to eat at other places. The views and the staff are great but I would recommend spluring for a better overall experience. There were no extra activities on the resort which also surprised me.

    As I was looking for the perfect stay, I am very happy I found a Oleo. This place was very nice and relaxing. If you're in the spas take advantage of the spa. The spa here is absolutely worth it. Great service, great beds, and great views of the ocean. Room: the views from the room are stunning. We really enjoyed it here. I have never got this type of rest of my life. I could hear the waves and I slept so good. The waves are crashing all night and they literally put you to sleep. The beds were absolutely comfortable. The AC blows very cold. The room is very spacious and you feel very comfortable here. However the shower and restroom are quite small and should be re-engineered but I doubt that will happen. Very tight, small restrooms but the shower is really nice in the water pressure is good. As you can see from the pictures this is a really cool spot. And I will suggest spending a vacation here if you wanna be near the water. We are literally steps away from the ocean. I'll definitely come back here again.

    Great hotel to stay! Food was good, albeit the portions were a little small. Gorgeous views! Staff was friendly, great rooms! My only complaint is the location of the hotel, there's not much to do outside of the resort. But worth staying at!

    Buffets all day

    All inclusive and I don't think there's one room without a balcony and view of the water. When I say all inclusive I mean food all day and alcohol all day...on the beach...brought to you by the staff...waiting on you hand and foot. I think it was the most fabulous time I have ever had on vacation at the lowest price I've ever paid. Wear sunblock because you will get drunk and fall asleep on the beach and wake up a lobster. (With the comfort of know that KIND hotel staff is looking out for you) FREE COVID TESTING, ATM, Starbucks on site.

    Pros: Beach front. Inspira suite room 1603 is big and faces the water. It has a beautiful view Staff is friendly Room service 24 hours. Arrives within 30 min. You can find the menu on your TV guide. Lots to eat and drink during the day. Close to the airport. Cons: Housekeeping: they were the only staff members that weren't great. One day they took all the towels and didn't replace them, the next day they didn't throw any of our trash out, etc Mini bar in the room only has non alcoholic drinks and one bottle of water. Black out curtains are needed. No chance of sleeping with the brightness and the noise from housekeepers moving furniture around so early in the morning. Bars close at 10:30 and only on bartender at night. Arrived via pre arranged transport from the airport. The hotel is only a 15 min ride away from the airport. Check in took longer than expected. You will have to sign a few covid forms. We arrived at 9:30pm. They had a bottle of champagne chilled on our room as a welcome gift The room: spacious. Clean. Some wear and tear noted. The bed was super comfy. The bathroom was big with a nice rain shower. The bathrobes were a perk. They only leave two towels at a time, but you can probably ask for more. FYI: we were both at one time locked in the bathroom even though we didn't lock it and the only way to get out was by someone unlocking it through the outside. The AC was not the best. It was always humid in the room. Without my personal fan, I probably would have been too hot to sleep. The pool: small, but big enough for the amount of people there. They have a hot tub, but every single day we were there, it was congested with children. They have towel service station, but except for one day, we had to go to the lobby to actually get our pool towels. The swim up bar is a plus. They have lounge chairs available and some times at the snack bar. The beach: beautiful. Clean. We never had problems accessing lounge chairs. For those in the inspira suites, they have a special section at the beach for them. Bar and snack service is available on the beach too. They do have a lifeguard on duty. The bars: by far, the pool bar was better. The inside lobby bar was always slow. They only had one bartender. They really need at least two. Especially in the evenings. Once again, why close the only place to be at 10:30? Try the chamoyada drink. That was my favorite. The buffet: lots of food to choose from. Two nights in a row, they had a lady making fresh tortillas and quesadillas. The pools snack bar: my #2 place to go. Loved their food. You must order the fish tacos and the al pastor tacos. I think I ate my weight in tacos while there. The Mediterranean restaurant: more a sit down dinner with a set menu. They have a dress code, but nothing fancy. Just make sure men have sleeves. Food was ok. The Greek salad was probably my favorite dish there. The Japanese restaurant: my least favorite. The good thing is that the portions were small and I was able to go eat sushi afterwards. They also have a set menu to choose from The sushi restaurant: #1 in my book. Loved the shrimp roll. I have to admit that sometimes I ate there twice in one night. They have a display case inside with extras that aren't on the menu. Don't forget to check it out. On our last night, we were treated with off the menu sushi. A nice plus is that this is right next to the bar and the waiter will bring you drinks along with your sushi. Starbucks: this isn't included in the all inclusive unless you are staying in inspira suites. If you are staying in the inspira suites all the drinks and some of the pastries are complimentary Entertainment: not a daily event, but we did get to enjoy two performances. One was a Latin band and the other a saxophone player. Both were great. The staff: everyone was great, but I have to say that Hector treated us like no other. He deserves kuddos. The sushi chef was also the best. At the pool, Jonathan did a great job. Check out was fast and easy. We opted for their late check out for $20 an hour. It was totally worth it Extras: Cross the street to the convenience store for any extras you need The key to your room is actually your bracelet. This was the best thing ever. Take a reusable straw with you. The ones they provide are eco friendly, but break so easily

    Swim-up pool bar!

    A solid 4.5 stars! A large part of this rating is based on my experiences with other all-inclusive resorts: I've been to one in Cabo 9 years ago (don't remember much from this - heck I don't even remember what I did 9 days ago), as well as to an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic last year. Just as a preliminary matter, Oleo seems to be one of the better resorts in the hotel zone of Cancun. It is also one of the closest from the airport - maybe like a 12-minute drive. Everything at Oleo is fairly compact - that is good if you are a lazy ass and don't want to walk that far. There is a buffet style restaurant that is walk-in pretty much anytime. Two other restaurants are also on the premises, one Mediterranean one and one that does Japanese cuisine (Hakka). Mediterranean was decent. Hakka is a multi-course meal that requires a reservation (not a strict dress code though). Some dishes were alright (tempura vegetables and this cooked fish dish), but having lived in Japan before I've had better. A snack bar is also on the property with FOODGASM level ceviche and fish tacos. Just FYI that opening hours are limited. Oleo has 2 bars: a lobby bar (as you can expect, it is at the lobby) and a swim-up pool bar. The latter offers frozen/blended drinks, while the former does not. However, the lobby bar has longer opening hours and closes around midnight or so. Our room was fairly standard. Nice and clean, view was alright. There is 24-hour room service, which I thought was awesome. Room service (when I ordered it that one time) was relatively quicker than I imagined (though based on the other reviews you should expect it to be slow). One major gripe I have is the entertainment, or lack thereof. Again, one's assessment of Oleo will depend on their experience with all-inclusive resorts. During my DR trip last year to Punta Cana, my resort had a casino, a nightclub, many more restaurants and bars than Oleo, movie showings, and live performances. Oleo had a few live performances (e.g. dancing and singing) in the lobby area, but nothing great. Then again, the DR resort was HUGE and required taking a shuttle to get from point A to point B, whereas as indicated above everything in Oleo is compact and within close proximity to each other. If you haven't been to an all-inclusive resort, I highly recommend this one to whet your appetite for these sort of experiences. People are super friendly here, and remember to bring multiple U.S. dollar bills to tip the bartenders/servers. When you check in, you might be asked to attend this presentation the following morning. Don't do it. It is a timeshare presentation where you sit there listening to them talk about how wonderful their other new resort property is and then want you to buy in. This is more for Oleo than anyone else: please stop doing this. People go to Oleo to sit and relax on the beach, not listen to some presentation that ultimately is to entice them to take out their credit card. Just my 2 cents.

    I stayed there from 10/16-10/19/23 no pool entertainment or night . Around 9am they are cleaning the pool .Bar at the pool only opens from 10am to 6pm . Food it's alright only 2 restaurants . I asked to change the sheets from bed I guess they just flipped them next day still dirty .I asked for towels I have to called 3 times a period of 4 hours apart to get the service .I will not recommend it to my family and friends .I travel a lot this was the worst experience ever if I could I would give 0 stars.

    Pros: Stunning view Access to the beach Several eating options Spa with hydrotherapy pools Gym and tennis court on site All inclusive Great music Clean and very sleek Friendly staff Starbucks located in the back of the bar Comfortable beds Swim up pool with a snack bar 24 hour room service Close to the airport Cons: Food was subpar Only replaced 1 wash cloth each day although 2 of us in the room (We had to call each day to get wash cloths and it took forever to get delivered) We decided to do the 90 min resort tour of Atelier (It lasted 3 hours and although you tell them no they hound you like no other, very annoying) Overall, it was a great stay! I enjoyed it thoroughly!

    Loved the staff at Óleo! The rooms were clean, cute, and comfortable. My favorite food was at Almar, and the restaurant in the hotel was pretty good most of the time (I'm also a picky eater to be fair). The kind workers in the check in area were warm and friendly, and Marcos A. and Gustavo were our guys. My favorite servers during my one week stay were Gabriel, Roger, and Lilliana. The bartenders Antonio and Enrique were exceptional! I had to leave a personal note for all of the amazing workers/kind humans that made my trip extra special. Thank you all, and thank you Óleo!

    Beautiful resort, beautiful views, endless drinks and food. Amazing hospitality and service. Definitely worth the money to stay here!

    Nice size bathroom

    The hotel is located at the very beginning of the Hotel Zone. So the traffic to and from was not bad. The pictures of the resort are slightly better then in real life. The place was clean. They were always cleaning, floors, windows. The place is a little out dated. The check in was great. We got our room quickly. They try to get you to do a "video sit in" to get a free spa. We were like no thanks, if we want to do a spa, we will pay. They never looked at us again. Food was excellent. Whatever we are was very good. No complaints there. They do need more variety. Every day at breakfast, it was the same stuff. I noticed NEVER any bacon. The buffet area was tiny, and never crowded. I know it's a boutique hotel, but it needs more options. The Mediterranean restaurant Almar was very good. I had the short rib. Then we tried to get in a few nights later, and we had a long wait, the hostess actually took people before us, so we left and went to the buffet. The japenese Hakka was excellent!! Very very small portions so double up. Brown Bag was awesome for coffees. The fish tacos by the pool were amazing! They are will bring them to you at the beach. That's El Botanero. They had food out and it was all excellent. The lobby bar was not good. Drinks were terrible. The pool bar, I don't know WHAT they gave me, I asked for a double shot of vodka (their top shelf is Absolute) I wanted to add it to my crystal light, drink, and I had to throw it out. It smelled like RUBBING ALCOHOL! Wow. This hotel, needs lessons on making drinks. I guess if you drink beer or wine, you are safe. The entertainment at the pool was good the day we sat there. The lobby bar is where they do their entertainment at night. I went to the casino night, that was ok. The night of Michael Jackson, they had no seats The water pressure in the room was good, but never any hot water. We even called the first day we got there, I felt like a liar, bc when maintenance came it was hot. But this would happen it would come and go, mostly go. This. Am no hot water. No nice machines around, you need to call room service for ice. The towels in the bathroom are all frayed. Room was cleaned everyday. I guess early. We were out all day. Never saw a cleaning person on our floor. The beach chairs were mostly ripped.

    Check in with sparkling wine!

    This is an All-Inclusive Boutique Hotel. Despite not being a mega large hotel chain, the area to access the beach is quite expansive. Overall, my family and I had pretty good stay here... **Check in/lobby** It's strange how the lobby HAS NO AC. It's not your typical lobby where there's a large desk to check in. You sit down on the couches. Somehow for us, the check in gentlemen knelt down next to us. Awkward much? The views are nice since the walls are made of glass so you can see the ocean, but it was getting hot in there. Though we got cool sparkling wine so that's a cool treat. We talked to three people total and the last person asked us to come the next morning to review some benefits. Instantly, I could tell that it's the dreaded timeshare presentation and didn't bother coming back. I mean if there are benefits, why not just say it upfront? Of course they won't because they want you to go through the presentation. Good thing we avoided it. **Rooms** Very contemporary focusing a lot on whites. We got the Inspira Superior Ocean View. The view is...really superior. We were on the highest floor available (9th floor) and we got to see both the lagoon and the beach. When it's not raining, we can also see the gorgeous sunset. The room itself is very spacious but the restroom area is small. I didn't like how the toilet paper is in the back. Shower area isn't too small but I felt the water always leaked out. So we always had a mini puddle, making the floor dangerously wet. But hey, there was running hot water in both the sink and the shower! The curtains didn't cover the sides well so the room gets bright in the daytime. You best bring an eye mask if this is a bother to you. The rooms also aren't super soundproof as you can sometimes hear folks in the hallway at times. But, the sliding door and windows are definitely the high quality kinds that reduces noise and improves insulation. Lastly, the bed and pillows are comfortable. Somehow, it just gets really hot using the sheets. My feeling is that the room is also a bit humid so maybe the AC system should also include some dehumidifier. Room service is great. You just dial 0 and ask them to give you want whether it be food or just an extra towel. **Restaurants** They're all great. Modern, clean, and professional. My favorite is Almar followed by the Azul buffet. Not too impressed by Hakka except the main entree, but I'll write that in a separate review. The fish tacos at the snack bar are also amazing. **Service** Everybody is warm and friendly (if you avoid the presentation). From the point we got dropped off at the front to visiting our rooms, we were well taken care of. The Bellboy was very friendly (he helped us on Monday) When at the resort, the entertainment and snack bar staff are also approachable as well. Lastly, some of the hours listed on the schedule pamphlet are wrong. is wrong. Pool closes early at 9:30 and the afternoon tea time is gone :( Overall, it's decent resort!! Like any Cancun hotel, just avoid any presentation. You can get great discounts but don't think you can leave after the standard 90 minutes presentation unless you've got a strong will.

    If you visit this place it is easy to see why we need closed borders. It is nicer than ANY hotel…read moreI've ever been to. And what used to be "the world's largest telephone booth" would dominate ANY hotel in the USA. The people are overly friendly as long as you are not doing shady things. And with billboards offering services directly to your room and a hospital system where you only go if you're sick. The "grey area" is a pretty loose term. The entire hotel is illuminated with L.E.D.'s. The space is immaculate. It was 1/4 mile from the room to the lobby. The ballrooms and convention spaces are like a stadium. (Indoors or outdoors). The public bus arrives every (2) minutes and are often full. It is approximately .50 US to go 30 miles downtown. Just looking at the creative ideas a child could write a book . "This ain't Tijuana". The malls and beaches are protected by federal soldiers and the streets have checkpoints every mile. They obtain your information and destination. If something is off a militia is on alert. In NOLA people go missing all the time. They get discovered weeks later. Would never happen in Mexico . A drunk guy might get out the box, but it is very controlled. These citizens are: smart, efficient, implemented, hard working, drive excellent, fast, diligent, and gracious. It's like walking through a museum. Being from a popular tourist town known for food, this place is VERY advanced. Instead of lounging and hiding these citizens WORK to pass the time. If you need anything just ask a bartender. "Tip and pay, you'll be OK!" LOOK at the photos!

    Wonderful hotel! We stayed twice, three years apart and both times were fantastic!…read moreWe came here when my fiancé and I first started dating then again for our anniversary. Every single person that works at this property is out of this world! Kind, helpful and always going above and beyond to make things memorable! There's always a little bit of construction because they're renovating, so plan accordingly by calling with them to make sure the areas you want open, are open. The new speakeasy is super cute. We visited there one evening and have the best time and service! This isn't the same restaurant where you go to breakfast but at night is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Everything was fantastic but all the food on the property is really great! We especially loved to order lunch by the pool. All the cocktails are fantastic, even poolside! Rooms are standard JW with some of them recently updated with the others on their way to being updated. Yes, there is a sort of a musty smell in the air, but that's in most hotels. It's a very hard to keep those highly humid rooms from smelling a little musty. You just have to get over it and enjoy the time outside the room. Pools are super cute and the beach area is nice. There is an adult pool that is open during the day but wish it was open later! Lots of places in walking distance if you decide to venture out of the property but why would you need to! Easy drive from the airport and to the downtown or for departure to Isla Mujeres. We did not go to the island this time but last time we booked everything through the hotel and they made it super easy.

    Where do I even start?! We had the BEST time at The Westin Cancún! This was one of those vacations…read morewhere you leave already talking about when you can come back -- and luckily for us, we're already planning to return at the end of September! What made this trip so special wasn't just the beautiful resort, the food, the drinks, or the activities -- it was the PEOPLE. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay fun, welcoming, and memorable. We participated in SO many activities during our stay. We rode the FlowRider several times, played water games, did pool workouts, made brackets, enjoyed the themed dinners, spent time at the sports bar, ate A LOT of food, had plenty of drinks, and basically said YES to everything fun happening around the resort. The Fun Team was absolutely AMAZING! Oscar was our FlowRider instructor and was fantastic! We had so much fun that we went back multiple times. He was encouraging, patient, and made the experience so much fun. Guillermo was awesome with the pool exercises and brought such great energy to the activities. Claudia and Anna Banana were also incredible and helped make the activities so much fun. They brought personality, energy, and so many laughs to our days. And then there were all of the people who took care of us throughout the resort: Fernando -- Bartender Manuel -- Bartender -- seriously, an AMAZING bartender! Fernando -- Bartender Vicente -- Bartender Louis -- Food Operations Raphael -- Front of House Staff Wilbert "Willy" -- Sports Bar Waiter Selso "Seltzer" -- Steak & Win Server Jesus -- Sports Bar Chef Felipe -- Sports Bar Manager Maria -- Massage Therapist & Spa Staff Every one of them deserves a shoutout because they each added something special to our vacation. And I have to mention housekeeping, because our room was absolutely spotless and clean! Anytime we needed our room cleaned, the staff was on it. We never had to worry about coming back to a messy room, and that made such a difference during our stay. It was clear that the entire resort takes cleanliness seriously. The themed dinners were one of our favorite things, and we loved having so many different activities available. We never felt bored because there was always something going on -- but if we wanted to just relax by the pool, we could do that too. The sports bar was another favorite, and Willy, Jesus, and Felipe made our time there even better. The food and drinks were great, and the service was wonderful. And the spa! Maria was amazing, and the entire spa staff made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Honestly, what impressed us most was how many employees remembered us, interacted with us, and made us feel like more than just another guest. Those little interactions are what you remember when you get home. The Westin Cancún has an INCREDIBLE team. Please recognize these employees because they truly made our vacation what it was. We came to Cancún to relax, have fun, eat good food, drink good drinks, and make memories -- and we did ALL of that. Now we're already counting down to the end of September! Thank you, Westin Cancún, for such an amazing stay. We can't wait to come back and hopefully see all of these wonderful people again! 10/10 vacation. 10/10 staff. Spotless rooms. Amazing activities. Great food. And 100% coming back!

    First time at this property and I enjoyed my stay, although a few things could have been better…read more The location is at the start of the hotel zone and always from the hussle and bustle of the main area. Pros and cons to this. Pros - not as busy, plenty of seating/beach chairs, quiet resort, easy access to airport and if going out of the hotel zone, large spacious rooms (I had two queens beds with ample space), in room fridge, friendly staff Cons - limited walkable activities (shopping, food, entertainment), older property, only 2 on property restaurants open in the evening limiting dimmed options, communication with guest services is via phone, had to checkout at the front desk no folio delivery to room or app checkout, more seaweed on beach than others (property didn't address until my departure date), pools were super warm like bath water so not refreshing, not enough toiletries in room Check-in process was quick as I arrived early around 11am and was shocked I got access to the room. This definitely was unexpected. Room was huge and had a beautiful ocean view. The window was a bit janky however I was able to get it opened to feel and smell the ocean air. You could tell the property was dated just in the finished and wear on the room. Lighting also was challenging due to the size at night. While on property felt safe and relaxing as there were other guests but no one was on top of one another. Got to try out breakfast (decent, the made to order omelette and eggs were great) there were some rotating items as well. Oatmeal was a different consistency each day soooo not sure whose doing that. Service was hit and miss. First day seat on own and took about 10 before someone asked about coffee. Second day got sat and service right away. Third day sat self and service right away. Their market -Palmer did not have sandwiches nor real food sooo that was a bit disappointing. Snacks, beverages and a few swim essentials were available. I did not have housekeeping service so I can't speak on that. The room was clean however and ample towels. The shower shampoo/conditioner/body wash were the big bottles and smells amazing. The shower was pretty small and turning around hitting the cold was would def wake you up. Shower pressure was amazing and controlling the temps tire once you got the mix right was good. The hot handle got super hot, had to use a wet washcloth to turn off. Not sure how that's not a safety hazard I really enjoyed the 'fake' sky lights in the bathroom gave a nice touch so it wasn't too dark. Property overall was in good condition and you could see the wear on the outside due to the climate. Overall nothing bad at the property but def needs some investment to improve the condition.

During that time, the resort does repairs and maintenance to prepare for the high season, so expect some construction and movement around the property. Despite that, Club Solaris Cancun was one of the top experiences of my life! It's a wonderful place to stay. What it may lack in "luxury," it more than makes up for in service -- truly the best service and the kindest people. Because of my friend's membership level, I stayed in the Club Solaris members area, but honestly, the great service is consistent throughout the resort. The staff remembers guests by name, and I saw many returning members warmly hugging the employees they've known from past visits. You can feel the genuine care and connection. The rooms are a great size, each with a coffee maker and refrigerator. I had a room to myself, and it was perfect. As a member, they personally walk you through daily activities, help make dinner reservations, and even arrange excursions for you. If you're not a member, the concierge and guest services office are always available to assist. A special mention goes to Omar in the members' office -- he's wonderful. Breakfast I started each morning with breakfast in the members' area, which offered a fantastic assortment of food. My personal favorites were the made-to-order omelets and the fresh, sushi-style salmon and ahi tuna. Coffee and mimosas flowed freely, and smoothies were available upon request. Special shoutouts at breakfast: * Tomas - Always served with a smile and even brought me bacon, though it wasn't out yet. * Julian - Warm, friendly, and always great conversation and service. * Roman - Makes a perfect omelet every time, smiling as he works his magic on the grill. (Tip: Ask for a smoothie -- they'll make it fresh for you!) Pool Time Spending time at the pool is a must! Lunch by the pool includes standard fare -- pizza, chicken nuggets, nachos, fries, hamburgers, poke bowls, California rolls, mac and cheese -- it's casual but satisfying. Drinks tip: Head to the adult pool for branded liquor. Otherwise, they typically use well or house brands unless you ask. Special thanks to Marrya, who worked tirelessly serving everyone around the pool by herself -- she's amazing! Throughout the day, there are plenty of fun activities like bingo, water Zumba, and flip-the-cup. Maxine, the pool host, keeps the energy up and everyone smiling. (Pro tip: Bring your own cup, thermos, or Stanley tumbler -- they'll fill it with ice and water for free.) There are three pools and three hot tubs, and the ocean views are incredible -- just steps away from the beach! Spa! Small but clean. Ask for Bonita. She was great. Dinner Dinner reservations are a must. The best restaurant, hands down, is Marco Polo. A big thank you to Alex, Ivan, and Ricky for their wonderful dinner service! Nightlife The resort offers nightly entertainment like singers and live shows. They're nice, but if you're looking for a livelier nightlife, you may want to head into town. There's also an MVP Sports Bar, which is a great spot to hang out -- it has a pool table, three TVs, music, and an air hockey table. A huge thanks to Javier for his excellent service and patience with our card games! Highly recommend the member experience!

    Overall, this place is gorgeous. I'll start with the things I love:…read more My condo had a balcony directly overlooking the beach, pools, and restaurant. It makes for a beautiful sunrise. The building's architecture is traditional, unique to the region, and stunning (especially in photos). The restaurant has good food, although I wish they had more traditional Mexican dishes and fewer American options. My favorite options were their steamed fish plates (especially the garlic fish) and for breakfast: chillquilles or enchiladas. The cabanas on the beach are my FAVORITE, but they also have them by the immaculately kept pool. The distance to the northern hotel zone (with all of the partying, flea market, etc.) is only about a 20 minute taxi or uber ride. And the BEST part about it: they are very into the turtle conservation movement. Security is trained to handle and protect the baby turtles during the conservation season. I am so thankful for all of the turtles that they catch and release. It greatly helps the turtle population. Now for the sole reason I will never be back: Overzealous security guards Rather than feeling safe, I felt targeted. I took all of the proper precautions with my Airbnb host (confirming QR codes and check in times, etc.) and still, security treated us like criminals when we arrived. They actually boxed my husband into his vehicle and wouldn't let him out because the information about our trip had not been properly communicated by the Airbnb manager. Many of these units are rentals, so there must be a better process for this. The gaps in communication make me feel less safe and instead, more targeted. I was here for nine days total, spending more than $1K USD, and still got treated this way. This is in addition to money I spent at the restaurant each day. Security made me feel unwelcome rather than safe. Will never be back because of it.

Due to having a suite, we had butlers Romero and Isaías, and they were both AMAZING. They were extremely attentive, and whatever we needed was never an issue. If we asked for something, it was done quickly and without hesitation. You honestly couldn't ask for better service. We also had access to the Aqua Club, which was open from 7 AM-10 PM and offered premium liquor along with light snacks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The waiters there--Daniel, Guillermo, and Eduardo--were great! They were even willing to make us our favorite shots that they had never heard of (blowjobs... Google it ), but they made them anyway! The lounge itself is super relaxing, with spectacular ocean views from the 5th floor. Now, onto the part we ALL care about the most: THE FOOD! There are several restaurants on the property to choose from, but our absolute favorite was Hidden Garden, which is Asian-inspired and run by Chef Mario. Everything we ordered was spectacular! Chef Mario even came out to our table, greeted us personally, and provided us with a menu curated by him--which I'm assuming was because it was my birthday... lol. They also have one paid restaurant called Carnivore, which is a steakhouse. Now, I am a self-proclaimed steakhouse snob, so I have to keep it real: for the price, it was mid. But for a resort steakhouse, it was good. The rest of the food throughout the resort was WAAYYYY better than expected--even the poolside grill and the food you can order directly to your cabana. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ribs they made at the poolside grill every day were FANTASTIC! The head of culinary at the resort, Mr. Germain, is definitely doing what needs to be done because the food was consistently impressive throughout the property. Now, the second-most important thing for most people: NIGHTLIFE. Personally, I came to relax, and the overall vibe of the resort definitely gives relaxation. However, they do have a nightclub called Egos, which stays open until 1 AM. I went once, but it wasn't really my music or my vibe. If you're looking for more of a nightlife scene, I would suggest heading into the city. BUTTTT... if you love a good pool party, make sure you hit the Moët Pool Party because BABYYYYYY... it was LIT! Overall, the resort exceeded my expectations. The service, food, atmosphere, and attention to detail made for an amazing experience, and I would absolutely consider coming back!

However, what truly struck us both this time was the incredibly warm treatment we received. A hotel is only as great as its staff, and the team here is what makes it special. We booked a club-level oceanfront room, which included butler service. Our butler, Arturo, absolutely came through for us. He handled our restaurant and cabana reservations ahead of time and was instrumental in securing a late check-out on our final day. The dining at this all-inclusive is superb. For breakfast, Siete offers a decent buffet, and our waiter, Helvert, was incredibly kind and always took the time to chat with us. For dinner, DB was our top choice for elegant continental dining, complete with a live pianist. The manager, Susana, provided excellent service, the food was delicious, and the chef even came out to greet us. We also loved Hidden Gardens, a relaxed Asian-fusion spot with tasty food, impeccable service, and another welcome visit from the chef. During the sweltering day, the pool is the main draw. Lalo was always helpful in securing our requested cabana. They cost an extra $115 each time, but they are completely worth it to escape the intense sun. Our pool waitress, Marysol, befriended us and knew exactly what non-alcoholic drinks to bring us. My wife is a big coffee drinker, so we frequently stopped by the included Starbucks, where David the barista gave excellent service and loved chatting with me about World Cup soccer. Also, a big shoutout goes out to Lady and Daisy at the spa. They gave my wife and I heavenly massages. However, the absolute heart of the entire hotel is Marco, the extraordinary juicer at Siete! His positivity, jokes, and contagious smile drew a long line of people waiting for his blended drinks every morning. Thank you to everyone for making our trip so memorable!

Issues with the place including the building itself. Elevators constantly breaking down and being super slow. Hot tub outside the room jets didn't work.

Room 1112 door doesn't close properly. You have to make sure to slam it or it stays open. Theater is super hot and chairs are uncomfortable. Worst thing of all though is the workers in the lobby trying to convince you to join their club. It's pretty harassing and when we said we were not interested the guy talking to us got super angry which I found to be very unprofessional. Also, inclusive resort but beach towels cost money which is weird. For 300 a night you would think we could have a towel.
