Our stay at the resort began promisingly with a beautiful view and notable amenities like a well-equipped gym and a dedicated lobby bar staff. However, the positive aspects were overshadowed by numerous issues.
The check-in process was poorly managed, with rooms unavailable until dinner, forcing us to use the lobby bathrooms to change for pool and beach access. We were surprised by unexpected charges, contrary to the all-inclusive promise, a concern echoed by other guests. Dining experiences were underwhelming, especially at the buffet and the steak restaurant, which failed to impress.
A major inconvenience was the scarcity of pool and beach chairs, with the advice to secure them before 7 AM being impractical for a relaxing vacation. The resort's early closure by 9 PM limited evening activities, and management's response to our concerns was both unhelpful and costly.
The room service, particularly the restocking of water and towels, was inadequate, leading us to buy water externally and reuse towels. After over a decade of enjoyable vacations in Mexico, this experience was a disappointing first, characterized by an overpriced stay, average food, and a lack of basic amenities like towels and chairs. The hardworking staff at certain facilities, like the lobby bar, provided some relief, but overall, the resort failed to meet our expectations for a relaxing and accommodating vacation.
