6.0 Okay
Rooms are ok but bathroom doors no privacy and super noisy. Had a junior suite and the couch was absolutely terrible! All inclusive - food aspect probably worst I have had, ended up getting sick twice.
E
6.0 Okay
Nice scenery very good beach. Horrible food. Probably the worst food I’ve had in a resort. We had to go out in town to eat good flavor food.

R
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Facillities, food, location, cleanliness.
Cons:Dont expect to have a big beach area. The internet isn't good at all and they charge for it. The juice in the restaurants isn´t natural and the taste could be better.
A
6.2 Okay
Pros:The location was pretty
Cons:Reminding staff to clean our room.
A
2.0 Poor
Pros:Place looked good. Really Clean.
Cons:Grounds too big. Too much walked by to get anywhere. Staff pretends to care but really doesn't Beware of the tours they are very misleading Not a whole lot too do on the massive grounds Very reminiscent of a low budget cruise ship. A lot of money spent on beauty of hotel but not anything that benefits the guest. Food ok at best No beach besides the man made one. Which is not actually on the beach. The ruins look man made and there are rocks all along the real beach. Don't expect sand. There is none. Don't expectt any major benefit to staying here because of proximity to Excaret. There isn't a major benefit because you have to pay extra for Xcaret just like anyone else would. The unlimited experience is a trap to get you to go for 3 days. Don't waste your 350.00. I could go on and on. We complained about things to staff to no concern
J
8.5 Very good
