Chandra from Boston, MA had this to say:

"Where do I start! From when you pull up to the entrance all the way down to the quality of your room, this hotel was beautiful! The grounds were spotless, the staff amazing, and the room was perfect! Everything this website said it had, IT HAD! The beach was beautiful, but the surf was a little rough. I took the advice of many on here and made sure to wear water shoes due to rocks in the water. The buffet was excellent for a buffet. Remember 99% of buffets are not gourmet so for buffet standards it was great. I did notice if you get there as soon as it opens your food is fresher. The drinks were yummy, oh were there drinks! Almost everywhere on the property there is a staff member ready to serve you a drink! We went to a few of the sit down restaurants, and the service was 100%! Just beware of the day trip to down town, we didn't find out it was an all day excursion until we were on the bus ready to leave but they give you great advice on catching cabs to come back earlier. There were plenty of activities by the main pool. Towels did seem to be somewhat of an issue, if you don't get one early you may have to wait for awhile. Overall this trip was amazing and beautiful, I would recommend this Hotel to anyone and everyone who would listen! I look forward to going back!"

MeandKK from Dallas, TX had this to say:

"We had a great time. The Resort was amazing. It was HUGE, so expect to walk plenty. They had a shuttle that ran around the whole place every 10 min or so, but sometimes that's a pain to wait on. The buffet was usually pretty good. We stayed there a week and I found enough diversity to keep me happy. We got dinner reservations at a different place every night. Men, make sure to bring long pants because they really won't let you in wearing shorts. Some of the food at the restaurants was really good, and some of it was not the best. The beach was very clean. It was a little rocky in some places, but very nice overall. The room was very clean. The hotel shops were somewhat overpriced. If you're going to buy gifts for anyone I recommend taking a trip into Playa del Carmen where you can score some great deals. Overall I'd give it 8 out of 10 stars."

Janet from Winchester, Illinois had this to say:

"We stayed in the Villas and they were absolutely beautiful. Our daughter and son-in-law were in villa above us. We requested our rooms be close together and never asked again, it was done for us. The resort is huge but that was not an issue with us, we loved walking all over and finding new areas each day. The staff work 24/7 to make you comfortable and they spoil you. I would like to praise just a few; Jeremiah(the villa pool bartender), Sergio(waiter La Fondue), Jorge(Best Day Agent at resort), all the staff at the spa, Tere, (tour quide with Best Day) and I am sure there are many more.'We did two tours and I would recommend both, Talum/Xel-Ha and Delphinius at Xcaret. The swim with the dolphins was the best experience and a once in a life time event! We ordered box breakfast for these days and were at the registration desk each morning. Wonderful to take with you on the bus.'We booked reservations for all nights at the restaurants except one. Be sure to do this on your first day. The buffets were beautiful and always different foods. The Thai was lovely, the moon over the ocean was a breath taking view. This waiter was also excellent. This resort is for sure on our list to stay at again, how anyone could complain is beyond me? Bookit was also great to call the resort for us and verify everything since we booked 4 months in advance."

Nushin from Huntersville, NC had this to say:

"We just got back from out trip. My husband and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary and we even took our 5 and 7 year old girls with us. I have to say after reading a lot of reviews and 25% rate of dissatisfaction, we were a little worried that we chose the wrong place. But let me tell you, this place met and exceeded our expectations. First of all, the place is absolutely gorgeous, very well kept and extremely clean. The staff are continuously strive to please you. On the beach there were always at least 3 staff members trying to play with kids and find stuff to do for adults. Food was great. We didn`t even have to visit the a la carts, since the food on the buffet was great and variety was fantastic, even for my very picky children. They always found something to eat. The wait staff would come by our table and would make paper napkin mouse and flowers for our kids. One night, we even asked the buffet manager to grill a simple chicken breast for our kids, and it was happily accepted and delivered within minutes to the table. We visited 2 other 5 star resorts during our stay to be with couple of our friends and hands down our buffet food was 100% better than theirs. The alcoholic drinks were a little weak which is understandable in places like these. The resort is big, so if you`re not able to walk or just plain lazy, then this place is not for you. We didn`t have any problems even with our 5 year old walking. Mosquitoes were plentiful but what would you expect, you`re in a tropical climate with lots of water and greenery. The staff did their best to leave bug wipes in the rooms every day. We took our spray with us and didn`t leave the room without first spraying all 4 of us. Water shoes are really not necessary, so don`t waste your money on them. Make sure you buy and take `bio-degradable` sun block with you if you`re planning to go to any water parks or swim with dolphins. They will check and then you`ll end up spending $25 for a $10 bio-degradable SPF bottle. The rooms are big and decorated very contemporary. Our maid service was great and even organized our shoes for us while we were gone!!! Overall, this place is a perfect 10 even for kids."

Aaron from Milwaukee, WI had this to say:

"We visited earlier this year, and like a few others I was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews. BUT... that was a mistake! This huge resort is taken care of incredibly well, the service was always great, food was good, and the room was big and very nice. We had lots to do, the resort is a cheap cab ride and 5 minute cab ride to town (Playa del Carmen). They had lots of options for activities to do if all you did was stay at the resort, but also had lots of excursions to do. (My favorite was fishing, I caught a huge barracuda!) The only thing that I thought was kind of boring was the shows. But they had a great band and DJ by the bar in the evening so you could drink and take in some tunes. If after reading someone`s rant about their coffee not being hot enough or something lame like that... just know... those are probably people that will never be happy with anyplace, this place was great!"
