Great experience
From check in to check out everything was great. Sebastian checked us in when we arrived we are members and he was on top of everything. Our butlers Kristoff and Claire were phenomenal and on top of our every needs. The waiters by the pool and Bali beds were great especially Bernabe. Thank you we will def be back sooner than later after this wonderful experience. The kids club was great. Thank you Laura, Crystal, Carolina, Pedro and the entire staff for caring for the children so well. The members dinner was excellent the service was phenomenal. The karaoke night was great. The staff didn’t forget anyone and was very patient with the children.

Not ideal with families with teenagers
If you plan on going with a teenager between 14 and 17, this place is not for you. Kids under the age of 18 can not sit in a restaurant so they require adult supervision. They can not even buy an ice cream. Also, if you are into sports, this is not a place to go either. Its impossible to make a reservation at the tennis courts or get a basketball after 5 pm.

Beautiful resort, super family friendly
We just returned from our stay at this beautiful resort. Had a really great time and frankly, this could have a 5 star resort if it wasn’t for the condition of the rooms. So let me start with the great—great food, lots of variety, home made tortilla, outstanding service by super friendly staff, always smiling and working around the clock. Also, excellent drinks, lots of bar options, beautiful nature, a cenote on ground with real jungle feel and lots of wild animals like monkey, coatis and beautiful birds. The resort has immaculately manicured grounds and well kept pools. Sunbeds are always a premium, you have to get up early to get one, but that’s the case everywhere. The beach is pretty, the staff keeps it clean from the seaweed, but it is also a public beach so it gets super crowded and not fun because of all the people who are not even staying at the resort. The cabanas are paid for (150 a day which is a bit too much) but the rest of the resort had some decent pool areas where you can enjoy some quiet time. Many restaurants options but often, a long wait to get it mostly because they reserve tables for the members of the resort club. Now for the not so great things, the rooms are in need of update. The shaper looks super old, the sink had a big crack and the beds in the deluxe rooms are sooooo small (my teenager’s legs are hanging off the frame of the bed). We did get some super good service by Victor who was our ambassador. But there are not enough coffee options and for a coffee drinker I didn’t it enjoy the much (the only option was the Marley cafe and is is paid for). So all in all, the resort is very pretty, very manageable, and the staff is great. If the room was better, I would have given this place the five star rating.

Avoid The Fives
The Fives was a terrible experience. The hotel requires an adult, someone over 18, to be present any time someone eats. We have 16 and 17 year old kids with us. They want to eat with their friends and do not want their parents around all the time. This requires someone to babysit kids that are old enough to drive cars. It makes no sense and they have zero flexibility. We approached the manager and asked for a solution. The response was that the policy was “for everyone’s safety because kids could have food allergies.” This policy is at complete odds with every other restaurant, common sense and the reality of traveling wit kids this age. We suggested we come with the kids, get them seated, wait while they ordered and then leave the restaurant. This reasonable solution was declined. One evening the kids were accompanied by a friend who was 18. They did not believe the kid was 18, and spent an hour verifying it when they had her passport verified at check-in and gave the 18 year old and adult band. The system felt like harassment. The Fives overall customer service is to find a way to get to “no” instead of trying to work with guests to make the experience the best it could be. The kids dining situation was the worst part of the resort for us. However, the resort itself is dated, not kept up as one would expect and a 3 on a 10 scale overall. I would not only NOT recommend this place, I would actively tell people to look elsewhere. This is the first post I have ever made when traveling but I felt compelled to post given the frustration with this place.

Great Destination Wedding
We had our daughter's destination wedding here. Isa and Max did a fabulous job with the wedding preparation and taking care of the wedding day. This resort does an excellent job with keeping people safe who have food allergies. We were asked by hostesses/waiters about any allergies at every meal. Eduardo in particular went the extra mile to make sure my husband did not have any food dyes. Wish I could have him as a waiter back here in Minnesota! My only disappointment was that it took such a long time to get hot water in the shower. Hopefully they will fix this.
