Staff were great. I really liked the little community kitchen, was nice to save money by cooking onsite rather than eating out in the Hotel Zone. The hotel was clean and comfortable and handy to lots of stuff - easy pick up for tours, grocery store close by.

The property is placed in a very cute location around the lagoon. Standard rooms need to be more equipped with basic materials like chairs and chest for storage. The faucets in the bathroom need update some we're rusted andcquet outdated.

You get what you pay for! It’s located on awesome spot, if you’re trying to be a local in Cancun, and live it up on the strip! However the AC was extremely loud, so it had to be turned off in order for us to be able to sleep. You get what you pay for, it’s like a hostal. Also pre paid for breakfast while checking out through Expedia, when I arrived, they said I did not.

Don't stay here! It's basically a hostel even if you get the private room and bath. We were in the room for less than 5 mins and noticed 10+ mosquitoes everywhere. The sheets had stains on them. The room also had a moldy smell. We left imm immediately and didn't stay the night we came back the next day to speak to the manager who agreed to give us a partial refund of half of the $300 that we spent however, later we found out that we only got a $67 refund, which is not what she agreed upon. Just spend a little more and stay somewhere better!

This was a fantastic place to stay! I was traveling with 4 friends, so we booked the room with 6-beds, and it was great! We had a private bathroom, but there were also 2 full bathrooms on the bottom floor next to the change rooms (for those hanging by the pool), so we were all able to shower and do our business without having to wait for the en suite bathroom 👌👌 There are tons of restaurants in the area, and an Oxxo nearby if you want to grab some drinks & snacks. There is also an awesome theatre where you can hang out during a rainy day! (Remember to log out and clear the laptop’s browser settings/cookies when you’re done) Don’t forget to check the complimentary snacks table in the lobby 🤗🤗 I will definitely be returning with friends again!!

My experience at this hotel was completely unacceptable from the moment I arrived. The room door didn’t even close properly, which immediately raised safety concerns. Once inside, things got even worse: the mattresses were torn (literally ripped), there was visible hair on the beds, and it was clear the room had not been cleaned at all. The air conditioning was not working, which is unacceptable in Cancun, and to make matters worse, the bathroom was in terrible condition. The toilet was dirty, stained, and splattered — clearly not cleaned or sanitized. I chose not to stay even for an hour due to hygiene and safety concerns. However, the hotel refused to provide any solution — no refund, no compensation — despite the issue being entirely their fault. It is very concerning that a hotel operates under these conditions. I absolutely do not recommend staying here.
