The facilities are nice. The pools close at 7pm and 8 pm. The staff seems to tolerate more than welcome gay people. They attempt to close the facilities earlier than the posted closing time for things you have paid to use. Better to stay somewhere more welcoming

Watch out for hidden costs!

This hotel is pretty awesome! It was our first trip to Mexico, so unsure what to expect. The resort fee was a surprise. NO NEED to book the "VIP" service for transport to and from the hotel - this is FAR overpriced, and it's literally the hotel booking you an UBER in a beaten down car (VIP??). Order your own UBER when you get there - it was easy! DO NOT STOP on your way out of the airport - you'll be caught into more sales pitches that seem authentic until you catch on! The beach club, pool and hotel restaurants were perfection. Staff were amazing, friendly, helpful and seemed authentic in wishing you a good time. House keeping was prompt and very good. We fell into the trap of the timeshare speech - BIG MISTAKE! Out of the whole experience, the guy trying to hard sell us a time share we didn't want really caused a damper on the beginning of the trip - he was kind as can be until we said no, then he got pretty nasty - really hurt the good feel of what all the other staff had created and caused some ill feelings towards the hotel. AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS, unless you want to purchase. The area is walkable to clubs and restaurants. Lots of shops. Be ready to be accosted on the beach by the sales peddlers selling bracelets etc - its relentless! Drinks were tasty and strong. Overall, we had a beautiful romantic trip, made some new friends, and created some lifetime memories! Would have been a 5 star rating if not for the nastiness of the timeshare sales guy!

The staff (especially the reception and front desk) are extremely rude and bossy. Very abrasive customer service. At their restaurant I was served crabcakes that smelled like they were a month old - the waitress said they were “fine” - then I got food poisoning that last 3 days. The toilet in my room stopped working on the 2nd day, which was quite inconvenient given that I spent most of my trip sitting on it.

Location, pool, and beach access via the Mantamar club are phenomenal. Food is ok, would say go into town to one of the many great restaurants instead but convenient if you want to stay on resort. Spa treatments were ok, but again, cheaper better options in town but convenient on resort. There is not really a resort bar to hang out at, they seat you at a table at the top sky bar which is a little odd to me but maybe you like that sort of thing. The staff there felt a little bit rude to me as a solo traveler who doesn’t drink alcohol but maybe were just joking and I didn’t get it :) I didn’t have any issues with timeshare presentations or check in/out problems, shady staff, AC, or any of the other issues in some of the reviews I have read. Room was very nice/clean/updated and the typical nice hotel chilly air conditioning. I’m not a big partier any more and the vibe here is definitely gay party/boozin’ so probably wouldn’t stay again, but the resort was beautiful and they do a wonderful job. Solid 4/5

Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. From the moment of our arrival until it came time to depart we were treated like family. Beautiful and clean rooms; exactly how it was pictured. Although, going to various floors can be tricky since we used multiple elevators, but after the first night we mastered it. Quick and easy access to their Top Sky Bar and Beach Club which both have incredible ocean views. Also, a quick Uber ride and you’ll be in Zona Romantica. Really enjoyed our stay. We’ll definitely be coming back!
