Room design and quality, that was a disappointment for us. Last time we stayed at 3 star hotel in Cancun, and the room was so much better equipped and designed. This hotel seems to be a 4 star so you would expect it better… Everything was outdated, old, mirror had dots like it’s an old one, and the doors paint job was like my grandma did the work with bad vision. It was definitely a different style than the picture online when we were ordering, I already checked it again, furniture looked the same but wall decor and bed were not. No carpet anywhere, everywhere same style tiles, lobby bathrooms, bathroom- all the same. We tried to upgrade it and as we checked the upgraded room it was the same exact room, just bigger and instead of King bed it had 2 twin beds adjoined. Service was great though, the staff was working hard, you could see that. Food was great, lots of options. Multiple restaurants on the property which was a plus. Transportation was great.
