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.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were spotless and had a well-stocked fridge, ensuring a comfortable stay. The staff were attentive and even provided a refreshing beverage before check-in, adding a personal touch to their excellent service. However, the supposed king bed was a bit smaller than expected. The location, surrounded by beautiful jungle-like grounds, was peaceful and relaxing, although it was a bit far from evening entertainment spots. Dining offered freshly prepared dishes, but there were limited options. Overall, a great value for money experience.
