A friend and I stayed here on our first trip to cancun. I'll start off by saying its not in the nicest part of town. No worries though, you wont be walking anywhere, a cab is only 10 feet away at all times, and the Police presence is surely felt. The Bellhop X is a very nice and helpful person, took great care of us. All the employees are super nice, and try their best to make sure everyone is happy. The bus that takes you to the sister resort is in serious need of repairs. The hotel and rooms are very charming, not just another hotel, they feel authentic and they have personality, very beautiful. The Don Diego is the best boat to go on, great crew, alot of fun. When they say all inclusive, they mean it. If you dont want another drink, speak up! They keep the food and drink coming like you wouldnt believe. No bugs ar anything dirty to complain about, I was impressed. Always people sweeping and mopping, painting, etc.

2bedroom timeshare with 2 full bathrooms,3 balconies and a living/kitchen area was CLEAN. we read previous reviews and took 32 ounce insulated mug with us for our drinks. alcohol seemed watered down.,food was adequate., beach was small and chairs disappear fast so get up early and find your spot for the day. The activities staff work very hard and are multitalented!!! so try and see atl least one show. Take the ferry to Isla Muejeres and rent a golf cart for the day. We had luch there and an afternoon at the beach. It was great! Also take the catamaran snorkel trip wiith Albatross. Enjoy a massage on the beach...it was awesome! Enjoy the sunrise over the marina. This resort seemed to be perfect for families traveling with young children or groups of older adults and older couples. front desk was always helpful, room service only for first two days then we didn't get any more slilps to fill out. OH and be ready to put on your swimsuit when you get there so you can start your vacation before your room is ready. All -inclusive starts when you check in!!

We wanted to try all inclusive and this was the cheapest one. There is a reason for that. Food was overall not good. Breakfast was ok, but lunch/snacks/dinner were like cafeteria food. The location is also really far from the hotel zone and central Cancun - you have to take a cab there - so there wasn't an easy way to grab other food. The drinks were ok, but watered down. We're not heavy drinkers so that didn't really bother us. The staff was very nice and helpful. We got suckered into the timeshare schtick which was a total waste of 2 hours, but we did get $75 towards tours. Overall it was a fine place to start, but I think we will upgrade for our next vacation.

My new husband and I just got back from our honeymoon in Cancun. The hotel was beautiful and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially when hubby left his wallet in the cab. The staff was quick to respond and got it back in no time--they really saved our vacation. The buffet dinners were excellent, and the entertainment was lively and fun. Casino night left a little to be desired, but we were tired out from the beautiful pool, white sandy beaches and kayaking on the ocean so we didn't mind. Our room was nice--oceanfront with a great view of the bay, and much bigger than I expected. We had a small kitchen area with a sink, refrigerator and a table and chairs. The gift shop had all the little things we forgot to pack and was reasonably priced--about as reasonable as you would get on a resort. I second the scary drive out to the place--the cabbies took us through a not-so-nice part of town, but I always felt safe and secure on the resort property. The hotel also had cabs to take us into town or over to the Hotel Zone where the clubs are. One recommendation: if you're going to party and go clubbing every night, you should probably stay closer to the Hotel Zone since there is transportation there but not back to the resort. We were fine since we came for relaxation--not drinking and dancing all night. Not that we didn't get our drink on--the all-inclusive part was amazing... we didn't ever have to worry about carrying wallets or cash around with us! All in all, it was a great place to stay, we'd definitely go again!
