I had a mediocre experience. The buffet food was unseasoned and bland. The Stake House was also a bad experience. The meat cuts were certainly not the ones offered. It's fairly easy to know the difference between flank and Ribeye. The Oriental restaurant was certainly the only good food I tasted in the entire trip. The staff was extremely helpful, respectful and outgoing. By far one of my favorite parts of stay. The other one was the lagoon. That was amazing. I will not be returning. Too many thing were not to my liking.

Oct 2024, My family and I stayed one week at this resort. Each day in this room we had horrible water smell and brown water from the sink and shower. The water pressure fluctuated heavily. I had to double check this was listed as a 5 star resort. I have been to motel 8s with nicer rooms and cleaner water. The second night at the resort, we noticed water stains on the ceiling of our room along with drywall damage. We notified the staff. A reparman arrived and said "wow" he took a photo and left. No room change. The third night, we had a heavy rain storm. My room had a huge water leak, water poured in our room in two locations. The light socket above the tv, which poured water on my samsung tablet. The second leak was near the ac vent. This leak created a 5 foot puddle in the room, and the noise of the water splashing awoke me at 5am. The hotel staff changed our room. However, did not feel the need to compensate My family for our troubles. The new room was adequate but still had maintenance issues as the shower door did not close. Water leaking through electric outlets is extremely dangerous. I will not subject my family to this resort again. Something they don't tell you anywhere is the number of times you can have dinner at the restaurants depends on the nights you stay. We stayed one week and were allowed 4 dinner reservations.

Beautiful grounds. As a platinum VIP, I wasnt given any upgrades and was asked to pay for late checkout and declined for early checkin. I asked for a partial refund for a park pass I wasnt going to use due to rain. No help there either.

It’s a beautiful hotel that requires a lot of walking. Food is average staff was friendly at first but when we decided not to entertain the idea of booking with the Barcelo Group, the attitude changed towards us. The one thing I disliked the most is how insistent the staff was on promoting The Barcelo Group, insinuating several times that Expedia was ripping me off. Expedia customers do receive different treatment from The Barcelo Group customers.

The food was not good, it was a typical buffet. It was lacking entertainment and the shows that they had started at 9:30 which I think is a little late. The property was beautiful, amazing views and I like that they have adult only areas in the beach and swimming pools.

Upon arrival, the lady in the front had a little bit of attitude. I made 2 different reservation for my mom and myself, I was placed on a different building and my mother was in a total different building. Second, after 3 o m my mom’s room was not ready and had to wait 30 more minutes. The train for transportation passes every 30 min and had to walk almost every time. I was there for my birthday and the second day I got food poisoning. I had diarrhea for 4 days and could not enjoy my vacation at all. The food service for the room was everyday the same food, the food was cold… I got really dehydrated to the point that I had to go to a clinic where I was gout I be charge $ 1220 only for IV hydration! $1220 DOLLARS not even pesos. I started drinking lots of fluids but was so afraid of eating the food. While I was walking on my last day in the resort 3 people have told me that got food poisoning as well. I have been in many places in Cancun and this is the first time this happened to me. I’m leaving this review so more attention is put into the food.
