“This beachfront resort captures a serene village vibe amid Playa del Carmen's bustle, with its Mayan-inspired design creating a distinct sense of place. I appreciate the multiple pools and varied dining, though the spa's Mayan therapies stand out for a truly immersive experience. Its balanced setting-secluded yet close to the action-makes it a compelling choice.”

broken air conditioning slow response
The location on the beach with palm trees is AMAZING!!! The grounds are beautiful and very green.
When I arrived, the air conditioning wasn't working. The toilet also was not flushing properly. I called the front desk, but they were slow to respond. Engineers came, but the problems persisted. I paid a lot for a room without these basic functions.
