    Gorgeous property. Things you will feel when you get there - you will feel safe! We felt so safe, maybe a false sense but either way it was a thing. You'll feel a sense of calm. Such a relaxing property. The staff is sooo helpful. Even the guy in the gym. He became my best friend. The food is good and you have plenty of options. Everything is easily accessible and it was a true joy to be there. Definitely recommend

    Preferred beach cabanas with ocean front view of some bushes

    If you're looking to lose weight on vacation, this is the resort for you. Note their approach is a bit unconventional. Between questionable hygiene and inedible food, I lost about 15 lbs after contracting sapovirus on day one, with relentless vomiting, watery diarrhea, and food so bad I ate exactly one meal over the remaining four days. My wife lost 5 lbs simply because the food was that repulsive. I later ended up in the ER with severe dehydration and ongoing diarrhea, where I was diagnosed with sapovirus. I had seen Yelp reviews warning about the food and dismissed them as typical Yelp negativity. Huuuge mistake. This is hands down the worst food I have ever had at a hotel. I am a Lifetime Globalist and have stayed at a lot of Hyatt properties. Nothing comes close. Imagine the worst buffet you have ever experienced. Now lower your expectations even further. We hoped to find some refuge at the Dolce sweets shop, but they screwed even this up by serving the cheapest, sugar free tasting ice cream I've ever had. We eventually gave up and survived on Doritos from the pharmacy. While I was stuck in the room recovering, we received a steady stream of phone calls repeating the same liability polished script while offering zero help. I did not report the illness looking for compensation. I wanted to make sure no one else got sick. I was told they had only one other report, so there was nothing to worry about. Cool! Beyond that, there was a parade of smaller failures. Five staff members barged into our room despite the Do Not Disturb sign. The balcony "hot tub" was really just a cold bathtub. The preferred beach cabanas had a primary view of bushes. At some point my wife and I stopped being angry and just started laughing. The lone bright spot was a genuinely great burger at the New Year's Eve event. If only that level of care extended anywhere else. I rarely raise issues during a stay, but given the illness and everything else, I did this time. I was repeatedly told a manager wanted to speak with us. I declined, figuring if there was something meaningful to address, they could reach out protectively. On our last night, they finally did. I answered the phone and was greeted with, "What do you need from me?" That summed up the trip. Leadership sets the tone, and here the tone is indifference toward food, hygiene, and the guest experience. Worst vacation ever, although I do have a huge head start on my 2026 weight loss goals.

    Beautiful/clean resort. Luckily it wasn't a full week trip or I would've starved. Got extremely sick from either food or ice but I was very careful with limited ice and only bottled water. The food was not edible, would take a few bites and be done EVERY MEAL. The staff on the resort was excellent except the hotel lobby/reception. They were asking us to AI change our age on our identification to over 30 to get some free perks but we didn't like the deceitfulness as we were looking to book for our upcoming destination wedding. We asked multiple times if we could speak with wedding/event coordinators and they were too busy to come and speak to us our entire trip. I will not be back.

    Went in 2021, honestly 2,000 a night isn't bad. Listen right, mangoes and tahin sourced from mehico is fire, essentially when the random Mexican people serve it to you on the small carts they call "carretas" The room is large, large is large if you wanted know. This room is 22 meters by 24 meters if you get 2 bed and free ammeter, amenities, including the following (m and ms, Mexican Coca Cola, sprite, etc). The room views consists of trees, trails, and people who are baked. They have great hot tubs, great cabanas. You know they have really good hibachi, for a Mexican country 4 star hibachi restraunt, it's fire. There's so many other things i can mension but I'm getting to the point where I can't feel my fingers. Have a good day.

    I'll set it straight. Dreams Playa Mujeres is a legit family resort. Absolutely beautiful and well maintained. They have so many activities and restaurant choices that can keep you busy for the week. The Dreams staff is what truly makes it. I'm gonna shout out some key staff members we met. From the cleaning service (Josephina) to the pool bar tenders and pool staff (Miguel and Gambino) super fast service and kept the drinks coming. The Entertainment Staff is so amazing. High energy and games throughout the day. Go (Jackie, Angel and others). We thought the food was good. Keep in mind at a resort they are feeding for the masses. So many choices at and options. They will often deviate to accommodate you. Just ask! Our favorite was the French Restaurant and Gouchos Brazilian Restaurant. The World Cafe in our opinion is best at breakfast. Loved loved the made to order omelets. Don't hesitate booking here. You get what you pay for. Pointers: Pay extra for private convenience to and from Cancun Airport through Ammstar. New full size SUV with no stops. Bring $5 and $1 bills. Tip well. The staff deserves it and it goes a long way for them. We brought $200 just for tipping for the week. That's nothing. Men, bring a pair of pants for evening dinners. You won't get in. They will seat you outside. You also have access to Secrets next door. 18 and up adult only if you want a quiet afternoon. My only wish was I like my beers to iced cold. Here they are fridge cooled and not the coldest. So... I fill my sink with ice and put a 12 pack in there. I'm a beer jerk I know. That's it. Book Dreams and enjoy!!!

    We were invited to Dreams Playa Mujeres Resort for a wedding celebration for friends! They are located in Cancun Mexico. Super excited to spend some time at this fairly new property. This is a private luxury property all inclusive resort. Upon arrival you go thru two security gates. We felt very safe at thus resort, armed security walked the beach our entire stay. They keep your passports until you leave the property for security reasons (day pass). Food: Our wedding meal actually was amazing, we were actually surprised. I really enjoyed the wedding cake the most, so creamy, light and yummy! Bar services: The mixed drinks were watered-down, we tried multiple drinks. Decided to just go with tequila shots instead. Customer Service: We were quickly escorted to guest services upon our arrival. So we could purchase our one day pass, since we were staying another Cancun resort approximately 20 minutes south of this resort. It rained the afternoon of the wedding, and neither the hotel staff nor the wedding planners had a plan for inclement weather. Staff: All the staff that we came in contact with from the front desk, bartenders, were all very friendly and professional. Beach & pools: Beautiful is the only word that comes to mind! Its a Hyatt Luxury property, just what I expected! The grounds- gardens are well manicured, the workers are amazing. TIPS: If you are invited to a wedding, make sure they have the package that pays for your arrival. If not they charge $100 USD per person. Jus another rip off in Cancun. Also be advised that the wedding planners are a separate vendor, not affiliated with the hotel staff. So I'd strongly recommend that if you decide to have a Cancun wedding, make sure there is a inclement weather plan. If you wanna be in the mix, better transportation (public buses) cheaper cab rides, this is not gonna be your spot. They are approx 1hr from airport and main attractions. Would I visit or stay at this resort? Keeping it real, If I get another invite of course. Would I book on my own, probably not. I travel way too much thru out the year to spend approx $1000 per day on a resort. If this is your only vacay for the yr, yes its a good option for your family. Everything you need is located in one compound. If your looking for a 18 hole golf course, this is your place. The beaches are actually prettier closer to the main strip (sea blue tranquil) white powdery sand. ~Dani @glampedlife

    == Our Long-Awaited Family Trip Our family trip to Cancun was more than five years in the making. In 2018, my wife and I visited Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort, the adults-only sister property of Dreams Playa Mujeres. During that visit, we toured Dreams and knew it would be a wonderful spot to bring our four kids someday. After a series of smaller trips and vacations with family, we were long overdue for a blowout family trip. On July 10, 2024, we finally made it back to Cancun, and our private transport quickly whisked us away to Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort. It was well worth the wait. == Location Cancun is a tropical paradise in southeastern Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Located on the Caribbean Sea, Cancun boasts lush greens, clear blue water, and white sand beaches. The weather in July is hot and humid, but that made the ocean and pools feel that much better. Unlike some other locations in Mexico, like Los Cabos, there were no restrictions on swimming in the ocean. == Property The resort itself was great. Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort is part of the former AMResorts suite of properties, now owned by Hyatt. The rooms were very nice, the common areas well maintained, and the pools plentiful and fantastic. Other features include marble floors and even hydrotubs on many balconies (ours included). Having previously stayed at a premium resort in Cancun's hotel zone, we can attest that Playa Mujeres feels more secluded, private, safe, and expansive (in the best sense of each word). == All-Inclusive Experience We loved being at an all-inclusive resort, and it certainly won't be the last time. Here are some highlights of the "Unlimited Luxury" offered at Dreams: - 24-hour room service - Gourmet dining at several on-site restaurants - Unlimited drinks - Complimentary mini-bar (refilled daily) - A steady dose of day and nighttime activities and entertainment - Free WiFi and international calling For people that live on a budget, and especially for those who are overly "attentive" to that budget, there is nothing better than an all-inclusive package. You price the vacation, book it, and the financial portion of the vacation is complete. No more of this: "well, we had a pretty expensive dinner last night so maybe we should do something simple today...." And a lot more of this: "appetizers...sure! Another margarita...absolutely! Dessert...of course!" == Activities During our stay, we enjoyed a variety of activities. We checked out the kayaks, took a water aerobics class, played volleyball and basketball poolside, swam with dolphins, and relaxed our little hearts out. We also had the option to rent a WaveRunner, play 18 holes on the putting green, take a personalized bike tour, and use the fitness center, but relaxing took priority! The evenings frequently involved a trip to the theater, and their nightly entertainment was outstanding. We particularly enjoyed the circus show and the magic show. == Staff In a word, the staff at Playa Mujeres was fantastic. The entire team was warm, welcoming, and helpful in every way. Eric (VIP staff) and Valeria (chief concierge) deserve special mention. We had a couple of small issues when we first checked in related to our room. Eric and Valeria were nothing short of incredible. Not only did they resolve our issues, but they also went out of their way to make sure the rest of our trip was outstanding. Whether it was helping us get reservations at the always-in-demand Hibachi grill or providing some "off-menu" perks, Eric and Valeria made us feel like royalty. == Conclusion We can't imagine a better destination for our first big family trip in years. I just hope our return visit is much sooner! Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories we will cherish forever.

    My family and I had an amazing time! Our friends got married here, the ceremony and reception was amazing! The food was great and the views even better!!! Since we attended the wedding child free, we brought our nanny along (aka grandma for hire lol). My parents, my sister and brother in law came with us and they also had an amazing time!! Must try places: Tres colores - amazing food (sope de pulpo, flautas, chicken mole negro) drinks , ask for one of the best waiters: Manuel. Nice place to dress up for. World cafe - best for family meals, breakfast and lunch buffets. Made to order smoothies, omelettes, lunch. Tides- great finger food and kid friendly! Try the wings !! The best waiters here too!! Dolce- right next to Tides, AC ice cream shop!!! So delicious. Open late!! The beach is literally a walk away , the spa is a must ( I recommend Sandra and Amalia)!! I absolutely loved this resort!! The customer service was amazing, the waiters, the bellmen they all recognized us after 1-2 days there lol. Tips: bring cash for tips ($5-$70 is what we tipped) we always tipped. If you don't plan on tipping because you think it's included in the price, it's not. Don't be cheap. We saw people tip $1 or leave no tip but there the same person asking for a million things and extras. Bring sunscreen , roll on etc Bring bug spray, bug repellent stickers and cream It was so humid so also a hat of some sort Swimming suit (at least 2-3)

    Fish tacos at Maris

    The grounds of the entire resort were clean and very well kept! Honestly, the resort was exactly like pictured online, there wasn't any catfishing. We went for a wedding and I felt like everything turned out beautifully and it appeared to be customizable to the couple. The drinks were lacking (which I find to be the case with all resorts) but the food was impeccable! Probably the best food I've ever had on an all inclusive resort. The beach had tons of space but had a tad bit of seaweed but once you go a foot out from the shore it was fine. There were a number of pools so it never felt crowded. We went Labor Day weekend and it wasn't crowded at all, very nice chill vibe. Bring bug spray for the mosquitos!

    We set our expectations high for this place considering all the reviews/ratings on Trip Advisor,…read moreGoogle, Facebook, and Yelp. Adults only, couples only, all-inclusive resort - that's a big yes! We hadn't been to a resort in a long time and were very stoked for our visit in August 2025. As is the standard for the Excellence brand of resorts - the staff greeted us warmly and professionally. Instantly, our needs were taken care of - the room wasn't ready, but we were provided with an opportunity to change and immediately take advantage of our stay. The size of the resort initially threw us off - it is much smaller than your typical resort, but it also caters to a smaller crowd for (their words) "a boutique experience." It seemed dead until we got close to the beach area and the swim-up bar. This is where the people hang out. Dinner at El Mar our first night was amazing - excellent seafood (check out the pics) and service. We ate twice each at Lupita Steakhouse and La Isla. Unfortunately, the hotel kept changing the schedule of which restaurant would be open what night. This threw off our dinner plans more than once, and we spent more time at La Isla (with the least exciting menu) getting eaten by mosquitoes than we cared for. During our stay, the beach snacks menu also changed. It went from a delicious two-page menu to a sad one-pager; gross nachos and hot dogs, anyone? Online, people went on full-on rants about this. It turns out the menus across all the Excellence resorts are being stream-lined to the new executive chef's "vision." Some people, from what I read online, are now considering cancelling their reservations, not wanting to fly all the way here for waffles and burgers. On top of the rebranding, the hotel is also undergoing renovations to bring it up to modern times. We thought our room was beautiful, but it was a tad outdated. For customer service, though - the Excellence brand will not settle for less than, well, excellence. All of our interactions with staff at all levels was top-notch. Because of the vibe here - we didn't talk to anyone but hotel staff for four whole days. Staff shout-outs: Denise, Luis, Fernando and Fabiola at the beach; Octavio and Bernice at the spa; Andrea, Aina, and Alexander at guest services; Pasquale, Alex, and Elvis at pool side; Cirilo and Vanya at El Mar, Brenda at La Isla, and Alberto and Barbra at Lupita. Fantastic job, everyone! Vibe: 5/5. Food: 3/5. Room: 4/5. Customer service: 10/10!!!!!

I'll start with the positives because there were definitely some. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and picture-perfect, making it one of the most visually stunning resorts we've visited. Unfortunately, that's where our excellent experience largely ended. One of the biggest issues appears to be that the resort's reservations and booking process is not managed on-site, (we were advised it was managed in Mexico) which created several unnecessary problems throughout our stay. Before arrival, we even received an email confirming our room that addressed us by someone else's last name. Upon check-in, we were informed our room would not be ready and were given "Black Card" status as compensation, which was explained as including special upgrades and benefits. However, during our stay we learned that many of those benefits were either unavailable or could not be redeemed, and several staff members didn't seem to understand what the Black Card actually included. When we finally got to our room, there was no hot water in the shower. Thankfully, after contacting the front desk, maintenance responded promptly and resolved the issue. Service throughout the resort was inconsistent. While there were a few employees who truly stood out and deserve recognition, the overall restaurant service fell well below what I expect from a luxury, adults-only all-inclusive resort. I especially want to recognize: * Antoinette, the hostess at Caribbean Grove, who was warm and welcoming. * Deonique, who provided excellent beach service. * Latifah, who took great care of us at the pool. Their professionalism and kindness were highlights of our trip. We also dined at Spice after making reservations. We met some wonderful people there, and Chef OJ was entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, the table service again was slow and underwhelming. Our biggest frustration came at the end of our stay. The evening before checkout, we asked about extending our reservation and were told we had to wait until business hours because the resort could not process reservation changes on-site. The following morning, we went to the front desk near checkout after waiting for our anniversary breakfast room service--which arrived about 30 minutes late and came with its own service issues. The front desk staff tried to help but explained they had to contact another department for approval. We waited another 30 minutes without receiving an answer. I then tried calling and using the online chat myself, only to be placed on hold and eventually disconnected. Throughout our stay, the guest services phone line was nearly impossible to reach--it remained busy for two consecutive days. While the front desk staff were courteous and did everything they could, they simply didn't have the authority to resolve many issues because decisions were handled elsewhere. Overall, Excellence Oyster Bay has an incredible location and beautiful grounds, but the operational and service issues prevented it from feeling like the luxury experience we expected for our anniversary. For a resort carrying the Excellence name and price point, I expected seamless customer service, knowledgeable staff, and better communication between departments. I left wishing the service had matched the beauty of the property.

The staff treats you like family while still delivering top tier luxury. The drinks? Top of the line. Not watered down, not basic real quality liquor, crafted cocktails, and premium options everywhere you go. The food was consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and restaurant quality at every spot on the property. No "typical all-inclusive" shortcuts here everything tasted made to order. And the ambiance... unbeatable. The architecture, the art inspired design, the infinity pools, the beach views it seriously feels like heaven on earth. Every corner of the resort is peaceful, clean, and stunning. Honestly, it's the kind of place that makes you think about going back every single day after you leave. 5 stars isn't enough.

It definitely does not make me want to return back to Atelier. The management such as Gabriel & Diego need some serious help & more training in management skills. They should train under Forbes Hospitality Training Program like the managers/staff at Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman. Go there if you want exceptional stellar guest services. Every mgr & staff person @ RC GC go over beyond for each of their guests. We chose this property to celebrate our wedding anniversary, a special occasion we had hoped would reflect in the exceptional hospitality and attention to detail for which this resort is known. As seasoned travelers who regularly stay at five-star luxury properties around the world, we understand that occasional issues can arise; however, what distinguishes an exceptional resort is how effectively those issues are resolved. The issues we feel in this case were not resolved during our stay. Shortly after checking in early July, we discovered that the toilet seat was loose & unstable, shifting significantly during use and creating both discomfort and a potential safety concern. My spouse actually fell off of the toilet seat. We promptly reported this issue in person to the front desk & were informed that the maintenance team will address it, but the problem remained unchanged. The toilet seat was never fixed during our entire stay. The lack of proper follow-through on such a basic maintenance matter was disappointing & not what we expected from this luxury resort especially during our special anniversary celebration. A more frustrating issue occurred the afternoon before our departure day. After spending the whole, hot & humid day at the pool, we returned to our room wet, sweaty & sticky ready to shower only to find that our room key fob had been deactivated. We were locked out of our room in wet swimsuits hot & uncomfortable. There are no phones around in the hallways to call the front desk. Due to the very large size of this resort, we then had to walk a considerable distance back to the front desk to have our key fobs reactivated. This inconvenience could have been avoided. We asked why both of our key fobs had been deactivated prematurely & we received no response. These issues reflect lapses in both maintenance follow-through, guest service & guest experiences. At a property of this caliber, guests reasonably expect reported issues to be properly resolved & room access to remain available until the designated checkout date & time. Atelier Playa Mujeres was on the 2025 Forbes Travel Guide & its reputation for luxury & exceptional hospitality were the reasons why we decided to stay there for our first time. There are many other luxury resorts such as Nizuc, Le Blanc or Live Aqua in Cancun competing & vying for the same category of repeat guests. Whilst there were aspects of our stay that we enjoyed, these avoidable service failures significantly affected our overall anniversary experience. After checking out & whilst waiting in the lobby for our transportation, Diego Gonazalez, the front desk manager approached us to ask about a couple of issues we experienced during our stay. Upon listening to our concerns & praises to some of their staff, we felt dismissed and not taken seriously after speaking with him. Diego was not effective at all in addressing our issues at all. Because we were displeased & frustrated with a lack of response from Diego, we asked for the General Manager's e-mail hoping that the future guests will not experience what we did. What a waste of time! On a positive note, the food here is above average with many offerings in various restaurants. Need reservations for most of them. Los Abrazos was our favorite. There are some rock star staff at this resort: Byron (bellhop), Gerardo (Los Abrazos), and Alfonso (main pool waiter).

    Casa de los Sueños (House of Dreams): Must book if you are looking for a reasonable boutique hotel!…read moreIt is located next to a private residence and also the 5-star Impressions Hotel (Hyatt). Once you stay here, you have options to rent bicycles (complimentary) and golf carts from here. I highly recommend getting one of the golf carts from here, as they book out fast. Otherwise, you will have to go downtown to rent them for an hourly rate or daily fee. The hotel has a relationship with Kin Ha beachfront restaurant, which is below the hotel. It is not connected, so you must travel down the stairs and cross the side road to enter the Kin Ha beachfront restaurant for complimentary breakfast (any entree with one simple coffee or juice). You can also lay out at their beach club, which has complimentary kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding (tipping recommended). The rooms are grand and colorful. The pool and ocean views are amazing. There are 13 rooms in this boutique hotel. I was advised that the best rooms here are Grace, Love, and Serenity. You must notify the front desk if you want your room cleaned. Otherwise, you can request items/amenities (even a beach towel) from the front desk. Some other things to note here are the laundry room and jewelry/hat store. The options are a bit limited compared to downtown. Why Casa de los Sueños? This isn't just a place to sleep--it's an integral part of the island (Isla Mujeres) experience. There is someone always to greet you in the lobby. I felt safe throughout my stay here.

There is a small patio between the room and the plunge pool. They provide you with a hammock for that area. It is also lit for nighttime use. The water was clean. It was a large room. It had large shower that has a full length window to a garden area. No one can see you, just in case you were wondering. Service - even before we arrived. I contacted the hotel through whats App. I needed help with the booking. Alex was wonderful and helped me every step of the way. He went beyond his job description to help me. He even helped me set up a romantic gesture for our anniversary. He helped with transportation. He even checked on us when we had not arrived to the hotel yet. Luigi helped check us in. Always asked how our day was going and gave us suggestions on where to eat. The grounds are monitored by a security guard at night. So we felt safe enough to hang out at the beach at night. It is also within walking distance to the main Avenue with all the top restaurants and many shops.

But we read a lot of reviews at Yelp, trip advisor, ect, and the reviews are mostly glowing and no mention of anything that could be better. I wholeheartedly recommend this resort, but there were a few things that could have been better. But thus was overall the best AI and we will return. Shootout to an exceptional employee Jhordy at inspira pool who went way above and hope to see next time. Our butlers, Ping Ting and Aline were fabulous.. and will request them next time. They made everything run smoother and got us ALL the reservations at the times we wanted. Def would have not happened w/o a butler. Not intrusive at all. appreciated fuss made for our 27th anniversary . A lot sets this apart from other all inclusives. I feel the food and the cocktails are better and more selecting. We often are celebrating either a birthday or anniversary on vacation, and they always ask at resorts.But then nothing is ever done or said to honor it, which is disappointing. That was not the case here. It seemed every server congratulated us on what we are celebrating. made us feel very special, plus I assume the butlers sent roses and champagne with a big chocolate heart to our room. very much appreciated. It might seem childish, but these dates mean something to me, and I appreciate when they are acknowledged. This is a fairly new resort, and everything seems very clean and well kept. The staff was warm, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. If they were understaffed or having a bad day, they sure hid it. Love the way the common areas and bathrooms smell ... omg you will see. I love the fragrance of the molten brown amenities ..going to buy some. Our inspira swim out room was large, quiet, and luxurious. Well-appointed and lovely. The tub was amazing, but they don't have shampoo and conditioner in that area, and the areas they do have amenities it's locked in, so you can't move it. Is inspira worth the extra? We did it both times. Would not risk being upgraded to an inspire Without the cost. Inspira gives you more access, and I believe a bump in service. If you are fortunate enough to afford it then get it ... if not then don't. In the reviews, I didn't run across many with even minor complaints that they could improve, but there are always things that could be better. I'm gonna put those in the tip area ,so if they want to improve a bit on an already great resort. I love it here and the staff are the truly the best. What signs they have are easy Missed And they don't have a lot of signs directing you especially to area that used to be for families. Personally, I think they wanted to make it harder for the family.People to come over to the all adult area back when it was two different resorts. Now that it. 's all adult I really think they should figure out a way to make it easier to navigate. We didn't know that there was a restaurant that had Buffet for all three meals Until halfway through our second Visit. Well i'm gonna leave some tips In the tip area. Because I don't want this to seem like I had a bad trip. This was incredibly relaxing and luxurious and wonderful. Exceptional staff make all the difference. Mixologists at Calle bar are so fun to watch them create liquid art. No one ignored us and no bad attitudes. I would say one of ... possibly the best all inclusive we have tried in all our travels. Sorry sandals, excellence, secrets, Iberostar u have been out done. employees went above the call bring lots of tip money.

    Five star all-inclusive and adults only resort!…read more Newly opened resort about 40 mins from Cancun airport and 20 minutes further from hotel zone. Our reservations was for (7) days and the length of time felt right. We booked two excursions; (i) visit Chichen Itza on a tour; and (ii) visit Playa Mujeres on a catamaran. Chicen Itza is a "must do" if you visit Cancun for the first-time (no question). Following our two excursions it was back to the resort to relax, eat and sleep! The resort has (7) eateries from avant garde, to breakfast buffet, steakhouse, italian, american, asian and pastry cafe. The exquisite culinary cuisines at each restaurant was phenomenal but the steakhouse, asian and buffet ranked highest for me. The bars on property were sexy and classy from the rooftop ocean views, lobby and swim up bars with the staff making our experience special. By far, the sky bar and lobby bar were the spots for me each day serving "top shelf drinks". There is also no need to leave your room if you're hungry, room service was impeccable by bringing your meals in a warm service cart with all the condiments and proper silverware. I highly recommend the New York Strip! There is no denying feeling compelled to stay on property to maximize an all-inclusive, but this is one property I'd have no issues being stranded at. Service is first-class, staff is highly attentive and respectful of your privacy and the resort is highly luxurious. If the opportunity to splurge on a room permits, I'd recommend the swim up pool on the ground floor(s) to enjoy swimming under the stars at night with that someone special, you'll forever remember those moments.

I had read so many mixed reviews about this place but we had a blast. I love the Polynesian vibes. Reminded me a lot of Aulani in Hawaii. I loved how the pool was open until 9pm (or until they kick you out). The pool was a tad bit too warm for the weather but it made a perfect evening time swim comfortable. All inclusive plan includes 24/hour room service. We ordered room service meals quite a bit. It also included all drinks in the fridge and candy and snacks they offer on the daily. If I was in need or some snacks, I would call in to request a refill. They would bring the metal cart up with sodas and snacks/ and candy bars. Boy were we spoiled. The suite was spacious, allowed me to do laundry daily and had blasting cold A/C. I loved the hammock on the balcony which I took a daily afternoon nap in. There were some mosquitos and once they got into the room, we were food for the rest of the days until they get smashed. The restaurants for dinner were all amazing. I truly wished they had Caprichos buffet for dinner. I would have loved to see a carving station and good quality seafood items. The beach bar and pool service was top notch. They cleaned/ washed the lounge chair, tablets and floors daily. Each day you had a beautiful pool area to enjoy. My kids enjoyed the occasional lizards/ Iguanas they would see on the lawn. They include free paddle board bad kayaking when you stay at villa deal palmar and Garza Blanca. The staff in the hut just as which hotel. You sign a waiver for any minors and off you go. There is aqua world and a private jet ski rental place to the left of the beach (out of pocket expense). You can book any water activities there. Don't need to drive anywhere. The only complaint I had about the beach was too much seaweed. They had a tractor thing to pick up the seaweed throughout the day but it just kept washing up. Ocean water was warm and we got to see some fish. The only inconvenient thing was it's definitely a bit far away from the hotel zone and trinket shops. We had to uber in and out to go places. I can see this being a hassle if you enjoy the night life. My family however, are not that active so a couple times we went out was not too big of a deal. We truly enjoyed our stay here and I would recommend it to anyone I know.

    Overall experience was great! We own some time shares and we had the all-inclusive package…read more Resort is about 30-45 minutes from Cancun Inter. Airport. About 7-10 minutes from the ferry to go to Isla de Mujeres. About 6 minutes from Puerto de Cancun (Restaurants and a few shopping stores). You can take Ubers, way cheaper than regular taxis, just wait for the uber outside the security kiosk in front of the resort. Free WiFi is available, along with 3 other paid versions (I'm assuming for the quality of streaming). Free, $10, $20, 30 (For Premium), this is per day. Expensive in my opinion. Resort is well maintained, rooms were in excellent condition, snacks and drinks provided. Staff was good, not as friendly as other resorts we have been to from the same chain of resorts. Food was good too. 5 pools, (including one for adults only and one for babies and very little kids). Very clean, very nice set up. The beach is also available. I didn't like it much. Bring your rubber shoes to get. The beach is rocky as you enter (very uncomfortable for barefoot), there was also lots of algae floating around and the sea floor was very smooshy hahaha. Not my cup of tea. Kayak, paddle boarding, jet ski, para gliding, snorkeling, and a small floating water island to enjoy.

In past stays on the island, we rented a golf cart and due to the location of this property, did not need to do so. Fantastic location. The front desk was closed, when we arrived, and had to get an on-site spa masseuse call the hotel manager so we could check-in. Once we connected with the manager, things went very smooth. We arrived to the room, we realized that It had two queen beds rather than the king bed that we reserved. Spoke to the manager and she advised that the rooms with king beds had broken ac. Special note- the manager, Alex, communicated very well, attentive to our needs and offered excellent customer service. She was impressive. The room was clean, large, with all accommodations "as advertised." We were impressed with the cleanliness of the room. It had a mini kitchen, medium sized fridge, and nice closet. The facility offered beach towels in addition to bathroom towels. The towels were of high quality and nice. Our first night, we experienced the ac not cooling well, notified Alex and she promptly addressed our concern and we were very happy. The pool was clean. Spa was not working. Area outside of our hotel room was clean and well-groomed for a tropical type setting. Love the occasional iguana's roaming freely through the area as this contributed to the positive experience. We understand that the price point of this hotel is on the lower end. Based on this we rated it as 4. The hotel is in a fantastic location. Do not expect luxurious accommodations. We would stay here again.
