first of all i should have known better than to listen to some of the bad reviews on this resort as everyone has their own opinion on a place when traveling.as for me and my husband we just try to go with what ever happens and to not take anything too serious.upon seeing our room we were both pleasantly surprised as we had a side view of the beach with the palm trees swaying in the breeze each day.room was made up nice each day and done very well.food at buffet was always fresh and ready to eat upon arrival and the wait staff goes out of their way to make you happy.fidell and armando are sooo nice! bar by the kids pool is awesome and very relaxing.we were here april 17,18,19 and came home the 20th.out of 3 nights only saturday was so noisy we couldnt stand it but it didnt take away from the resort itself.the grounds are well kept and its small enough that people remember you after only one day.there is a small flea market around the corner from the hotel that have some nice handi crafts and nice souveniers.honestly i feared the worst and came away with a great stay at a very nice hotel.dont hesitate if you want a small hotel,dont mind the one buffet,and dont mind the fact that the people will go out of their way to get you what ever you want to make your stay enjoyable!

It was better than expected for the price however most nights there was a lot of noise with people coming home from the clubs and pubs. The service is good and the people were friendly however I was with my boyfriend and there were lots of lads and it didn't feel very relaxed.
More of a singles holiday.
It is however right next to a lush white beach that doesn't get too busy during the week.

If you want a laid-back budget holiday that meets all of your basic needs, this is the place....we were pleasantly surprised that all aspects of this property met or exceeded our expectations. Don't come here if you want to spend three-star money and expect five-star service/accommodation...you'll only end up being one of the negative reviewers of this hotel!

My partner and I stayed at this resort for a 1 week vacation. We knew it was a 2-3 star when we booked it so that is what we expected. However, we were pleasantly surprised!

The rooms were average but they were clean.

The food was okay. Breakfast was great and lunch and dinner were fine, but by the fourth day we were tired of the buffet. The wait staff, especially Armando, were outstanding. They were always pleasant, constantly clearing tables, serving coffee and tea and getting us drinks, etc. However, we did see several examples of rude behavior toward the staff by guests, which was totally uncalled for. Just a bit of patience and a smile really won't kill you! We only experienced waits for the evening meal and the wait was maybe 10 minutes.

The drinks were great - not watery or weak as other people have complained about and the bar staff were great. We used the bar by the children's pool a lot and the service was great.

The actual location of the place was great. It was very easy to get into Cancun using the bus and we were close to departure locations for day trips, etc. The grounds were very well maintained and the beach was beautiful - not rocky and cramped like I heard some of the other people from the higher end resorts complaining about.

We definintely enjoyed our stay here and can't wait to go back next year.
