If you want a lovely holiday resort with lots of space with loads of pools, bars restaurants and entertainment then you MUST give this place a whirl. Any bad reviews of this resort must be from seriously hard to please people. Honestly, look at all the good reviews. I do admit that after 2 weeks i did get bored of... More

Family vacation, Great Food Buffet & Specialty Restaurant! Book as soon as you can for Specialty Rest or you might not get your chosen ones! If you go to the Japanese steak house Request Hibachi table if you prefer or you'll just be seated at a regular table. Tour desks were helpful. Coba Ruin is the highest ruin in the... More

My wife and I recently stayed here for a long weekend getaway. It is just over an hour south of the airport (longer if/when you are in a shuttle with people from other resorts). We visited Tulum while we were here, so we would have had to make this trip anyway but if you’re not planning anything in the south,... More

A nice relaxed resort. You'll get good attention, lots of things to do for fun. Though it's big, there's transport on a regular schedule (every 10-20 min.) that will take you anywhere. Unless you really like food don't waste your time in "specialty" dinners, open buffets are good enough and will allow you more flexibility. If food is part of... More

We stayed at this hotel in September 2010 for my honeymoon and had a ball. The rooms are very spacious and kept clean. We stayed in the Coba complex but could use facilities in the Tulum and Akumal. We were able to dine and drink in all three parts of the complex which gave us a great choice of restaurants.... More

This is a beautiful resort with plenty to see and do. The golf course is very nice and the shuttle service between the three resorts onsite is quick and convenient. We did some kayaking and beach volleyball during the day and attended a few of the shows at night. The Michael Jackson show was quite good. The food was fine... More
