The saving grace of this place was the view/beach and staff. Some members of hotel management and the overall programming and structure of the offerings did not live up to the marketing or price point. Things that went right: the restaurant servers (Sebastián was awesome), the housekeeping staff, the spa staff (Elizabeth and Irasema were lovely), and the awesome team serving drinks and setting up beach chairs/umbrellas for customers. Things that went wrong: Check-in (when I tried to pay with my Amex card, the registration employee told me I would be charged $200 MORE than the quoted total on hotels.com. At NO POINT was I notified of this up charge during the initial online booking.); forced night time entertainment (live music until 11pm in outdoor stage every night. If you were hoping for an early night… too bad); automatic double doors malfunctioned (one set of doors did not have properly working sensors and the doors closed on my arm. When I told the front desk person/staff, he seemed unbothered, didn’t apologize or inquire about my arm, and didn’t follow up with me to see if I needed care); food options (this is meat and fried food heaven. Aside from having buffet-style meals and several food options at one restaurant, their 4 other dinner restaurants had fixed menus. If you are vegetarían, pescarerian, or vegan, non-buffet options are limited for dinner. While each restaurant had vegetarían items, they weren’t always healthy or nutritionally complete. Overall, MEH.
