We chose this place because of the price we got it for. We love the staff and the hospitality. The facility is very dated but we do admire the Mexican feel to it. They have no beach front but they have shuttle options which was great. Plus, the beach is just a 3 - 5 minute walk which was ok. If we could get another deal for the price, then we would definitely come back.

If you want a jumbo resort you never leave that has everything there this isnt it. It's so much better. Why have 4 mediocre buffets pumping out food when you can have one that switches everyday and the food is clearly made with love. They make every day feel special you never know what to expect whether it's a live performance or a poolside bbq. Romantic xylophone performance. A rock cover band a demonstration of traditional Mexican dances. It's always entertaining. The location is perfect 70peso cab ride to malecon. Directly beside Puerto magico the cruise ship port for whale watching or any tours. Right beside a Mexican Walmartish place called chadrau that you can get anything you need. This hotel I will admit maybe won't knock your socks off with first impression but you will love it more and more everyday you stay they punch away above their weight. Beach access is close and has drink. This is an authentic Mexican experience not a resort catered to rich Americans who won't go out of there comfort zone. Food is soo good and traditional with a different theme every day. I honestly can't say enough if you are not adventurous you can still have a very relaxing time by the warm pool. It's kept very clean. The Mexican charm isn't just a thing they say it's true I would absolutely go back

They need to do a lot better gave it such a low rating because the food was so bad. I paid $400 usd for one night and the food they served was a joke they had no protein options other beef teriyaki, they had a plate of onions and jalapeños it said shrimp in the description never saw any shrimp in the whole buffet. Just pay a little more and stay somewhere else or you willl be extremely disappointed ☹️

The hotel I chose to conclude 2024 and welcome 2025 has become one of the worst memories of my life. Although it claims to be all-inclusive, it requires guests to pay for meals just to stay here. (Even if you don’t eat, they threaten to cancel your reservation if you don’t pay.) Furthermore, you must make separate reservations for the meals you’ve already paid for, yet there was no prior notice or information about this. To make matters worse, they refused to provide us with a table because we hadn’t made a reservation. The meal in question was a special New Year’s Eve dinner, and the cost was $125 USD per person. The service from the front desk staff is absolutely terrible, and both the restaurant host and front desk staff are busy shifting the blame to each other. This has left us even more frustrated and disappointed, with no resolution in sight.
