    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    This place has 2 lake-style pools and a choice of à la cartes. And it’s a short ride to the private beach.

    This huge hotel is close by to a private sandy beach – there’s a shuttle bus to take you there. Back at the hotel, there’s a pair of supersized pools, with a swim-up bar at each of them.

    There are 6 à la cartes including a gourmet and a sushi place. And it’s easy to get out and about, too – it’s a 25-minute drive to Playa del Carmen.

    Very relaxing holiday
    04 Jul , 2018 Pete S, 186414
    Just spent 11 days here and had a thoroughly relaxing time. Pro's - Super resort, very clean and beautiful grounds. Lots of facilities and helpful, friendly staff. Restaurants and food very good although you are limited to the number of a la carte bookings you can make. However, buffet is good but they struggle a bit to offer clean tables quickly enough Cons - Sunbeds!,signs everywhere saying don't reserve sunbeams but plenty do. Very annoying as sometimes no one even turns up. Why can't the pool attendants remove them? and lack of shade, its very hot and you can't get out of the sun easily. Seaweed on the beach is a huge issue although I assume it may be seasonal. The seaweed is piled 3 feet high along the sand, JCB's then shovel it into awaiting huge tipper trucks, all day, every day. Any queries are dealt with at reception but it does take a couple of nudges to get things sorted. Not the resorts fault but only told after we arrived of the £50 per person immigration tax to be paid on leaving.
    Brilliant Holiday.

    Loved this hotel and had an amazing holiday . We were lucky as we arrived the weather changed and we had sun everyday. The staff at this hotel work so hard and we really appreciated your hard work. The place is so big it takes a while to get used to where everything is but we managed within a couple of days with the help of the golf buggys which were a godsend as it was so hot. The room was lovely we stayed at the Coba and couldn`t have asked for more..the aircon did leak but i had seen a review that someone had wrote so i rang and they sent someone straight over however he did not stop it from leaking ..so i called them again and they sent someone back 15 mins later and he fixed it . If you are thinking of doing the trips try and plan and book as soon as you get there ...we booked through Bahia in the Lobby and the trips were brilliant . Some reviews were not good before my holls and i was a little worried but there was nothing that i could complain about we had a brilliant holiday and will return to Mexico. I would advise to take Antihistamine Tablets and Hydrocortisone cream you can get at the chemist here as the Mosquitos are savage .

    We just got home yesterday from here. Go somewhere else!!! The food is awful and very timed. The buffets close and you are out of luck. The beach... I have never seen anything like it. Awful!! They drove backhoes all over to carry huge piles of seaweed away. The smell was horrendous. We paid extra for the extras you get with the family master suit. We did not get any of these extras even after complaining
    Great holiday

    We have been back a couple of weeks , had a wonderful holiday . We will definitely return to this hotel the food was delicious lots of choice at the buffet and the a la carte restraunts specialy the Japanese Brazilian and Italian , the staff lovely helpful and friendly . Lots of pools , lovely grounds little buses to ferry you around . Great value for money . We did go out on local transport lovely little air conditioned buses . We did the thompsons trip to chichen itza , it set off very early , so it wasn't to hot when you were looking around .
    Could be much better with a little effort

    Its beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous, rooms are nice and air conditioned, the food is lovely. The staff are really friendly and seem genuinely happy. There are not enough sunbeds. Its another one of these places where you need to get up early with your towels. Some of the sunbeds are broken. There are very few with shade. There are not enough staff in the Kulkan buffet restaurant and a backlog of tables covered in used crockery cups and glasses builds up at peak times so you cant find anywhere to sit and staff are maxed out clearing. There is no self service in the Kulkan for drinks. The same staff clearing tables pour you 75ml of wine at a time (half 125ml glass) when you can find them. So please replace broken sunbeds. Buy more and also some parasols. Get drink dispensers. Add more staff.
