The property was run down, the food at all the restaurants was very bland and much of it was inedible. One meal everyone’s plate came out cold and soggy. The drinks were terrible, they all were watered down and none of them even tasted like what you ordered and some when asked what ingredients were added, they were completely wrong. There weren’t really any activists to do each day, at the property and the ones that were provided were pretty boarding. The rooms were kind of run down and items were broken or starting to break. I don’t think the cost of the property is up to par with what I paid. I would tell anyone that was thinking of staying her that it isn’t worth the cost.

The spa was great, so was the greenery around the property. The food ZERO stars, and staff was not very accommodating, several instances where we were upset after interactions with staff. Forget trying to book a restaurant, the app doesn't work. The drinks also not good, if you are ok with bottom tier liquor, and flat beer. The TVs in some of the rooms were so old, it seemed like we were watching a vintage game. Look elsewhere!

We loved all the animals on site!! However my husband and myself got quite sick the first couple days, we assume it was the food. This did happen also the last time we came here. I dont think we will return because of it!! We also booked this hotel for the watersides but quickly found out that our 8 year old who is 4.5 feet tall couldnt go on the big ones...so that was disappointing as well!!! The pools are also quite warm and provide no relief from the hot sun. The cenote was amazing!! Probably our favorite part ! Overall i would give this hotel a 4/10 rating

The property was in the jungle and was beautiful! The adult pool was really nice but the water was warm. The other pools were mediocre. Lots of dining options but food and drinks were just “o’k”. We went there for the wildlife and we’re not disappointed. We saw monkeys almost everyday! That was awesome! Employees were all very nice. Front desk is small and it took 1 1/2 hours to check in!

Overall it was good., The jungle environment was great and the kids enjoyed seeing all the different animals. Staff were friendly and attended to all our requests/queries. Pool facilities were also decent. Area for improvement - The hotel offers an international restaurant, an italian restaurant and a mexican restaurant option where reservations are not required. The food choice and quality here was average. Whilst the Italian restaurant had very little Italian food options. System to book restaurants (japanese and brazilian) that required a reservation was unfair. People were required to log in at midnight to a reserve a table. We tried a number of times and were unsuccessful. We complained and were given a reservation at the japanese restaurant.

When we got to the hotel our rooms (2 separate rooms bcs we traveled with other family members) were not ready. We decided to go eat at their buffet. The food was hard and dry like it had been sitting there for hours. We asked around people who where there days prior and they said that its typically that way every day. When speaking to other guests, they warned us about bed bugs. When we went to the front desk there was a family checking out due to the bed bug bites they and their children had from just 1 night. When we finally got to our rooms, both rooms were infested with bed bugs. At that point we decided to leave and go to another Hotel. Now that weve returned the Hotel is saying that we forfeited any possibility of a refund. STAY ABSOLUTELY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL.
