Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I think the 5 star reviews are fake. There is nothing 5 star or “Excellent” about this place. I’ve stayed in 3 star hotels that were far cleaner and friendlier. The rooms are nasty, and crumbling apart with bad patch work everywhere. We had a serious bug problem in our room. Some of the staff are friendly but most aren’t. The food is mediocre and the portions are very small. Oregano Restaurant was probably the worst Italian food I’ve ever had (but did have a great waiter). The lobster restaurant probably had some of the worst attitudes I’ve seen. Miguel, in particular, was nasty and visibly irritated by having to serve. The beach is full of seaweed and the water isn’t clear. No one goes in it. That’s a shame since Cancun is 15 min away and has This is the first vacation that I’ve regretted. Would never return here.

The pools were too cold to swim. Hot tubs were maybe luke warm. The room ceiling fan was loud AC shuts off when you don’t move so you wake up soaked The main phone does not work Tv did not work 1 day. The room we booked 6 months prior was not available when we arrived (suite) The food was average at best, one goes through up the Indian food. Staff failed to restock the snacks, called when we got back and were told we had to wait until morning. At 7 am staff was grinding metal outside our room. We traveled with a group of 12 couples. This is the first and last time. Beware.

The staff is incredible. They go above and beyond to make you happy. The food options at each restaurant is amazing, and each meal is absolutely delicious- just as if you are home. The resort and the rooms physically seem a bit tired. I’m not sure exactly how old it is but I know it is one of the older resorts of the Excellence chain. I do hope they make some renovation improvements.

Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure we had the best possible time.
