We were looking forward to a well deserved relaxing break with some diving thrown in for my husband (which didn't happen due to the weather). We had a very long journey from the UK and when we eventually arrived at the hotel, the receptionist was unaccommodating of our request to pay the difference and upgrade to include breakfast each day. Apparently, ‘it’s not hotel policy’. We had to sign a waiver not to bring food or drink into the hotel....needless to say we did because their prices were super inflated - 55 pesos for a litre of water there, 11 pesos for 4 litres in Walmart - go figure!! Beer and food prices, we thought, were also extortionate.
The room was no more and no less than expected though the bed pillows were not very comfortable.
We found the security guards very intimidating - always there with their walky talkys - perhaps it was their uniforms which are quite military looking, and I was terrified they would want to check our bags or room - like I imagine a military state!
The pool men were always sweeping. Constantly. Even when there was nothing to sweep! Very unrelaxing, like someone cleaning around you when you're at home.
The pools were great – I didn't use the jacuzzi - all that sloughed off body fat - and the beach was fab, very small but fab.
We had fun, but that was because we usually do, nothing to do with the hotel or its amenities.
When we settled our bill in cash and I had my credit card receipt returned, I was charged 1 Mexican cent. Now I know in monetary terms, the value is next to nothing. But just think, all those 1 Mexican cents that are collected have got to add up to a substantial amount over a year - quite a nice little earner for the hotel - and the irony is, I'll be charged at least £2.50 by my credit card provider for NOT using my card! That in itself really tipped me over the edge. I wouldn't return to the hotel on principal and for the first time ever, I was relieved to be going home to relax!
