Reviews and Ratings
What an incredible stay! From the amazing hospitality in the rooms with lovely balloons and fresh towels daily to the immaculate cleanliness, this hotel truly excelled.
The hotel is situated in lush jungle-like surroundings under palm trees, providing a beautiful and serene atmosphere. The rooms are cleaned daily, and the cleaner, Jose, adds a personal touch by crafting small animals with towels, creating a unique and welcoming experience. The hospitality is exceptional, with a well-stocked fridge and a sofa bed adding to the comfort. The hotel staff go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay, particularly at the pool bar and sports bar. The location in the Playacar community allows for easy exploration on foot, but be wary of potential delays on the return trip to Cancun airport.
