We are about halfway through our two week stay, and in this first week, all I'm wondering is. What hotel are the reviews talking about? Room: Our room has several lights that simply don't work, the AC works half of the time, and the porch has many holes in the thatching caused by the coati running around. Cleanliness: We have seen cockroaches running rampant around Festival. The rooms are kept clean, but the public spaces are being neglected. Food: The food here is incredibly limited. They have four restaurants for dinner and you only have the option of one per day. We've been here in Mexico a week and I haven't been able to have any Mexican food, only Italian and French. The French restaurant was great. The snack bar and bar by the smaller pool (as well as the towel service) has not been open once, which is disappointing since that means you have to walk all the way to the black and white in order to grab a drink, and then all the way to the other pool (which is a trek) in order to get a towel. Inconveniences: There was no warning that the spa would be entirely under construction, which is partially why we booked here in order to have a relaxing spa getaway experience. The staff is a mix of friendly and apathetic, not attempting to make the experience unique at all. This hotel is inconsistent. I wish I was at the hotel everyone else has seemed to experience in these reviews. This has been a very disappointing honeymoon :/

Long story short: We were there recently with a 3 and 5 year old. 1. No use of the beach as the sea weed is insane. Basically only months where it is ok are from Oct-Dec we were told. 2. In 10 days, there were 2 occasions where there was vomit in the pool. One time it was there for 3 days where noone cleaned it up. 3. Privacy is questionable as we had staff enter our room at 1:30 am due to an AC problem next door. Our kids were sleeping and we were in pure shock that this happened. 4. There was racoon poop on our balcony for 3 days. Noone cared to clean it up until we complained. This is a 5 star hotel. Cleanliness shouldn't be an issue but our room was in need if a deep clean! 5. Photographers are way too expensive, around 600$ for 39 photos. I wouldn't go here again as I've been in Cuba who is a way lesser standard than Mexico with way better experience. We were expecting for a 5 star hotel and amount of money we paid a better service and standard. Very dissapointing.

I was supposed to stay a week here but only lasted 24hrs. It took almost two hours to check in and there were only two people in front of us. When I got to my room it was very dated and unsanitary. I feel it wasn’t turned over just cleaned and not cleaned well. There was open sugar packets on the counter and a used towel hanging from the shower door. The pillows smelt of body odor bad. There was mold behind the bathroom mirror photo added. The other guest were very loud and extremely inebriated. It was like spring break on a Monday night. The staff was not very friendly and accommodating, but I don’t blame them because of obnoxiousness of the clientele, this resort caters too. I’ve stayed in many resorts in the area and this is by far one of the worst. Not only did I immediately check out and move to a different resort. I left that resort with food poisoning. The buffet was extremely unsanitary. They serve hotdog and hamburgers for dinner. The alcohol options seem to be mostly well alcohol. I did not drink. The grounds are nice and the wildlife is abundant. It seems that this resort at one time must’ve been nice in the early 70s. An employee walked into our room without knocking and by the time I made it to the door they said nothing just stared at me. I do have to note that upon checking out the manager did apologize.

Our stay at this Cancun resort was overall a fantastic experience. The property itself is absolutely beautiful—lush, well-maintained grounds, stunning pools/beach, and plenty of scenic spots to relax or explore. There was no shortage of activities, from daytime entertainment to evening shows, so it was easy to stay as busy (or as relaxed) as we wanted. What truly stood out was the hospitality—the staff were warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. That said, the rooms could use a bit of TLC. While clean and comfortable, they felt slightly dated and in need of some refreshing. With a few updates and more attentive maintenance, this place would easily be a top-tier destination. Overall, we had a great time as a large group (~50 people) and would definitely consider returning.
Gina Perez
Housekeeping was very efficient, especially the team from Building 6. Cleanliness was generally very good, although we did see some cockroaches in the room, which was disappointing. All the staff were polite and consistently greeted guests, which we really appreciated. A special mention to Gregorix from the front desk—he was very accommodating, patient, and helpful in providing information. He is definitely an asset to your company. Kudos to him! For entertainment, it would be better to include more international songs since guests come from different countries, not just Spanish-speaking ones. Regarding the food, it would be nice to have fruits consistently available at every meal—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—as many guests look for this. The beach was not good. There was a lot of sargassum, making it difficult to swim. If you are a beach lover, you may be disappointed and might want to consider another place. Overall: Good service, but several areas need improvement.
