    Accomodations a bit outdated, could be better. All inclusive food had a lot of variety but not necessary quality, juices did not taste fresh. No elevators, that means hauling baggage up yourself when staying in the 2nd or 3rd floors, if you don't find staff nearby to help or don't have the time to wait for them to arrive (the resort is large and your room might be a good 15-20 min walk to the lobby area, although you can request a ride from the lobby to your building complex/room). Information about thematic restaurants and reservations should be more clear on website/app, or better yet, explained during checkin.

    Excellent location, family oriented resort with water park. Close to the beach with daytime free transportation. Thematic restaurants are good but limited to one dinner every 2 nights stay and demand early reservation (more than 24h in advance, hence needs to be lucky if arriving for a short stay). Free 1h standup paddle or kayak per day, although dependent on weather. Good service, staff in general very friendly and helpful.

    I have nothing to comment

    I liked that on the territory of the hotel there are different animals, an excellent aqua park for children, jacuzzis right next to the villa where I lived. We were also satisfied with the hotel service.

    The hotel room at Coba was not cool at all and was warm the entire time. I called for maintenance, but did not do anything to improve the AC temperature so we left early.

    All inclusive was great!

    The smell of sewer during morning watering. That's it. We loved everything else. Met lovely people there.

    Safe, comfortable, beautiful beaches and easy access. It was our first all inclusive resort, we felt you did a great job! It was a great "home base" to explore the region from. Your staff is amazing - friendly and helpful. Room very comfortable!

    Mealtimes were not always convenient. But the food was amazing.

    Although it was very large my family and I always felt safe. The property was clean, there were always staff working and present to meet our needs or offer assistance.

    Definitely need to update the AC units, rooms did not get as cool as we would have liked it. We had to switch rooms because the 1st would not cool down. The food and alcohol could be better as well but it do able.

    The resort was very beautiful and the nightly entertainment was great.

    The buffet had a lot of options but things were not labeled well and not enough serving utensils. For example, an item was named "Tamale" so I doctored it up with salsa etc only to find out it was a banana tamale?!?!

    The property is very clean and the staff are friendly.

    Beautiful resort.

    It is frustrating and annoying that the "no saving chairs" policy is not enforced. Premium spaces sat empty in the shade for 3-4+ hours. People would go to the beach and save spots at both the pool and beach, for morning then afternoon. Chairs need to be cleared of towels, if not being used for more than 30 mins. There are enough chairs and shade, if people don't get greedy. The beach is extensive, but a little rocky in areas, however, there are some smaller bays, that were sandy and nice to swim in. Our room had a whirlpool bath, that needed you to step up into, and climb down and out, which was a little tricky, especially when the floor was wet. Not sure about all the rooms, but a walk in shower would have been better.

    Great resort. Lots to do. Friendly staff. Extremely clean. We upgraded our bracelets when we got to the property to have access to all bars, pools, and buffets of all 4 resorts. It was worth the $18/day. Coba does have a beach, but it is a good 10 min walk from this resort, or you could catch the golf cart trains (which were plentiful). The grounds, lobby, and pools were beautiful, with lots of friendly guests. They had a great kids program.

    Bit difficult to find info on activities. Didn't have hot water on two occasions in a five night stay!? Not at all convenient for any transport other than expensive taxi. Rooms bit dated.

    Large all inclusive complex with beautiful pools. Very comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice beach area with small reef close to shore. Amazing food and choice for the number of people catered for. Also very good in al a carte restaurants.

    Quite a ways from the Cancun airport, so fairly costly for transportation. A dedicated resort shuttle would have been nice to avoid confusion and aggressive taxi drivers. Re the airport, avoid buying food or drinks there as it's extremely, outrageously expensive.

    Resort and staff was great. Excellent food available almost 24/7. Shuttle service to various areas of the resort was great. Ongoing entertainment if you wish to participate. No end to the booze if that's your thing but very little drunkenness evident.

    Bedding... I wore eye makeup once but found it on several pillow cases and I was alone in my room.

    Food was ok. We would have enjoyed more authentic Mexican food though. Location was a little far away from what we wanted to do. We felt that the staff was excellent the buffet staff especially Miguel, we all fell in love with him
