Don't come in. NO BEACH
Anatoliy A on Sep 19, 2024
NO BEACH. DON'T RECOMMEND COME IN FOR THIS PLACE IT WAS SO TERRIBLE. For avoiding and lost your the money do not come in My family and I vacationed here. It was terrible because there is no beach. It is impossible to swim in the ocean because there is simply no beach. The website does not say anything about the beach and it is very dangerous to enter the ocean because there are many sea urchins. I do not recommend visiting and spending money on this boarding house.
Worst experience of my life
Cate F on Sep 18, 2024
I don’t normally write negative reviews but I’m making an exception for this place! I’m sure some people at some point may have had a 5 star experience here but I’m a little suspicious of most of them. They all name numerous staff members by name, are written in a strange style of English. For example I’m sure the yoga is good but I don’t think anybody would find it that mind blowing they’d log on and give a 5 star rating for the entire holiday just because of a yoga session - ignoring the putrid smells, horrible damp rooms, unsafe terrible food which you will get sick from, animal excrement everywhere and the five hour check in..but yeah yoga was great so five stars it is! Mexico is a lovely place, even this hotels sister hotel is good apparently - its just down the road book that instead! But please please don’t go here, sort the reviews by star rating starting with 1 star and you will see people saying the same things over and over again, believe them.
