Overall Impressions & Staff
The absolute highlight of this hotel is the staff—they are incredibly warm, friendly, and the main reason guests would want to return. The location is also fantastic and offers a great family-friendly environment. However, the property itself feels quite dated, and frustratingly, the elevator was broken about 80% of the time.
Rooms & Housekeeping
While the rooms were generally clean, housekeeping service was unreliable, likely due to understaffing. Even after leaving the room for over six hours, it was not cleaned. Furthermore, when we ran out of toilet paper, housekeeping replaced it with a partially used roll rather than a brand-new one.
Food & Restaurants
Booking reservations for the specialty restaurants was difficult, as availability is very limited.
•Hacienda: The food was good, and the service was excellent.
•Mediterrano: A complete waste of time. The food is poor (and nothing close to authentic Mediterranean cuisine), the service is bad, and I witnessed a double standard regarding how the dress code was enforced.
•Las Velas: Good for breakfast, but dinner was a letdown. I asked the waiter about the fish on the menu and was promised red snapper, but was served tilapia instead. In fact, it seems tilapia is the only fish served at any of the resort's restaurants.
•The Aquarium (Buffet): The food here is simply terrible. The only redeeming quality was the excellent staff.
•The Fisheria: The fried fish and shrimp tacos were disappointing.
