Best beach in Cancun. No seaweed. Entertainment pop show was fabulous. Italian and Asian restaurants had great variety for dinner. Breakfast at the main buffet was great and included a crepe station. Staff were great and overall had a wonderful trip. Close proximity to the airport.

Perfect to relax
Paradise on Earth Perfect for beach lovers. The water was crystal clear and the beach very shallow. Clean no seaweeds. Food was very good. Hotel was spotless. Everyone is friendly and they make sure you have a great experience. We didnt have to stress to book the restaurants. They always had room. Strongly recommend

May 08, 2025Disappointed
The best part about this resort is the large shallow beach area. The hotel rooms are old and unimpressive. Food is average at best. You can find something to eat but for the most part I didn't enjoy it. Don't waste your money on "Preferred". You likely won't get what is promised and if you do it isn't worth it.

Very relaxing
The resort is beautiful. Everything is kept very clean. The entertainment staff were wonderful: Manuel made our trip extra special as this was our second time to this resort and he remembered us. Angie, Bryan, Medalia, Leilani, Magi G and Emir made all the daily activities really fun. The rooms were kept clean and the mini fridge was fully stocked. You could get bottled water from the bars. The bartenders inside and on the beach were fantastic. Even with the amount of people they usually remembered what you wanted. (Especially the beach, we frequented that one a lot) Everyone really friendly. We had a great time. The outdoor dinners and shows were all beautifully displayed and good food.
