The property itself is in a very unique rain forest setting. You are surrounded by amazing vegetation and lots of animals. The beach is beautiful but rocky. They should have a separate area for vegan and vegetarian so that you can identify what food contains meat, seafood and cheese.

We chose this resort because our grandson wanted waterslides..however the bigger slide was damaged and not usable as was one of the restaurants..that we had booked in after we got to the resort. The main pool was really murky ...compared to the adult pool. The room was clean and grounds were well maintained by staff. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Some guests made the stay irritating but that's not the resorts fault. We would definitely book through Expedia..gave us a perk...as it allowed us to book al le carte restaurants upon check in ...rather than stay up till midnight and use the resorts app! That made us very happy! Santiago at the Taco Bar was an amazingly kind and friendly waiter...as was Michelle at concierge! Bellman were wonderful as well! The resort does need some repairs to roofs..as some floors are very slippery when it rains. All in all ...having not used Expedia for an international vacation ...I would do it again!

It was nice to be in the rain forest and have the animals all around. The beach was extremely rocky and hard to go into. A lot of amenities were closed such as the water slides which as big reason we booked, the snack bar wasn’t open, some a la cartes were closed and you had to book the day of at midnight or you couldn’t get a reservation which being on vacation with little kids I’m not up at that time and I’m not setting an alarm. The place was nice but not for me.

Traveling with 4 adults and 1 child 13 yrs old. Check-in took awhile, they only had 1 person working in the expedia line we were told to go to. They sat us down and gave us the whole talk about the resorts, alot of information with the intent to sell you timeshare or massages. Rooms were the only nice thing, king size with a twin bunk bed. We were told to visit expedia activity office for excursions. We tried for first 2 days and the office was closed. 3rd day office was open but no expedia. We were told we have to call and make a reservation first, which was not told when we arrived, so we booked excursion with air canada for catamaran cruise. Big mistake, hour drive from hotel, we were told no extra fees, they tried to charge $20 person there extra, argued and won, snorkeling was rushed maybe 20 mins total to see and swim 500m, kept hearing faster rapido constantly cant enjoy. Dropped us off at beach club, bad food buffet, dirty water beach not clear, had to sit for 3 hours before they came back. Took us to isle of mujeres for hour and half to shop, it was okay nothing special, same tourist stuff at each shop. Got back and couldnt find van to go back, no signage, no person knew where, after being the last van we found it and was crowded in a small van hot and uncomfortable no ac no legroom. The restaurants at the resort required reservations except international buffet which consistantly had bland food and desserts. You have to reserve restaurant at 12:01am....

The resort is beautiful. Our room was not the cleanest when we arrived but, hey, we were in a jungle. No hot water for the first 4 days and out shower flooded but we got things figured out. Lots to do on the property. Loved swimming in the cenote and the calmer pools. The main pool was a little crazy for us.

The resort was very nice. Was cool to see all the different wildlife like monkeys raccoons, kudamundi and loads of birds. My kids loved the water park which was right outside of our room. The Riviera was the best à la carte. As far as taste and serving size went. The buffet and Mexican buffet were also very good with loads of selections. Wasn't too big on the Brazilian steakhouse as we found the meat to be a bit over cooked. The pools were also nice. The beach was ok but had massive rocks so it was hard to swim. The only complaint was lack of hot water as there was some water pressure problems and no hot water. So every shower was like going in the pool., so not very comfortable for having a shower

What I didn't like was the staff members trying to aggressively sell me on their membership level of service and then asking me inappropriate questions about my family status in front of my child. Also the entire eating situation sucks and the food is only average. The guest app didn't work and no one offered to fix it for me. I reached out for help 3 times and no one followed through.
