Changed to their property in front the beach club but the lady in charge of the beach club once you pay doesn’t want you using the services. However the hotel staff were awesome they go above and beyond cery helpful.

Hotel. Mayan ruin right on the property and its proximity to the beach made it the perfect special spot for our girls getaway.

Pros:

Room smelled of sewer gas and was in relative disrepair. Paint was chipped, black mold, bathroom door was broken and didn't latch.
It wasn't as pictured.
I think some of the other rooms were nice, but 123 was a dump.

Pros:

I loved my stay here! I stayed in a beach front suite. My sunrise view was absolutely spectacular! The location is in an area that allows you to have quiet and dark after the sun goes down, and a completely empty beach for sunrise shots. The waves roll in from up the beach a bit stronger and create a nice calmer area from the point of the hotel to the ferry dock down the beach. The hotel is only a couple blocks from Parque Los Fundadores, and 10-20 minutes walk via 5th to the main mall, clubs, and resorts. Basic accommodation as far as being a fancy spot, but rooms were kept VERY clean by the amazing staff. The housekeeping team even made different towel shapes for every day of the 10 day stay! Hot water worked the whole time, and we did not have anything in the room that was in need of repair, other than the unreliable wifi.
Wait staff of the bistro downstairs was AMAZING! we didn’t realize until the end of our trip that they are not part of the hotel itself, so don’t be surprised when they don’t unlock the gate to the beach until 10/11 on Mondays, but the staff that took care of us was absolutely incredible. Moses took care of me in the morning, remembered my breakfast order and even got me down a beach mattress for the super lovely cabana beads when I got my coffee at 8 am every morning! Julie was a delight to see every day and was always on top of whatever we needed until closing. Both worked for Mekesh, which is apparently a new beach side cafe/bistro/bar.

Pros:

The layout and details of the hotel are beautiful and it’s location right on the beach is terrific. However, we stayed through New Year’s Eve and it was so noisy until 4 AM and that’s when we finally fell asleep. The manager could have gone to the small group that was making all the noise and told them to stop, but he didn’t. The cleaning staff was good, but never gave us the number of towels we needed even though we kept telling them every day. We also had a couples massage on the beach in front of the hotel. The prices were almost New York prices, but the masseuse works constantly talking and picking up their phones and texting. It was so annoying and they are hired by the hotel. Incredibly unprofessional.

Pros:

This was a terrible experience, the photos are deceiving. I was placed in a “cabana,” room with run down construction and patched over with wood, plastic etc. the sheets smelled dirty and the bathroom wasn’t well cleaned. The shades did not provide privacy because you could see everything into the room.

Pros:

The bathroom needed a door, the property should issue one key per person for couples so that they arent locking the spouse in when they get breakfast. Haha. All around though, we loved it! And look foward to staying again!

Not a 3 5 Star, maybe a 2 Star
Pros:

I travel a fair bit about 16 weeks a year. I've had my share of unclean hotels/rooms. From the second I walked in the entrance I felt things were neglected and run down. I was bit 4 times by flees or no-seeums while checking in while standing in their lobby. When I went to my room I was disappointed. The walls had black mold in several places. There was no way I could stay as I'm very allergic. I went to the front desk, to mention the black mold and that the bathroom shower wouldn't drain. The front desk attendent didn't seem to care and brought a plunger to try to fix the shower. The shower drain had a plastic cover over the drain, I asked why, was explained it was to keep the bugs out. I showed him the mold all over the walls and he shrugged his shoulders. I requested another room, was told there were NO other rooms available. I said I could not stay, this was claimed a 3.5 star it wasn't a even a 2 star. VERY DISCUSED AND DISAPPOINTED. I asked for a refund and was told I would have to contact Hotels.com. Hotels.com tried several times to reach the hotel with NO RESPONSE. I was exhausted and I now had to find another hotel with NO REFUND and NO Support. The pool area had moldly lawnchair cushions, the beds by the pool were dirty and should have been thrown out. I wouldn' dip a toe in their pool. I rarely leave a bad review as I understand how difficult it is to keep a hotel clean This place needs immediate attention. Just look at my pictures...So SAD.

Pros:

Location, location, location! If you want to be within walking distance to Quinta Avenida, Portal Maya, Paseo del Carmen Shopping Mall, ADO public transportation and the ferry terminal to take you to Cozumel, this is the place to stay. It's a beautiful place with a view! We stayed at one of the "ocean view" rooms, but didn't realize that it would actually be ocean front. It is a quiet, adults-only hotel that includes breakfast, a pool and did I mention it is right on the ocean?! The staff is friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
