New format for my reviews - negative points are in square brackets! We chose this hotel as part of a BA package deal after spotting it as a potential resort to stay at last year. We didn't select it last year as a week came in over a grand each, however, this time it came in at around 800 so... More

This hotel has great facilities and gives a massive advantage for guests wanting to visit nearby attractions, in particular Xcaret. Firstly, the hotel's facilities are of a very good standard. It has massive swimming pools and several restaurants to choose from. At times, the food was edging to mediocre (at the buffet) and just ok at the a la carte... More

This is our 2nd time at this hotel & we can't fault it. We only stayed for 4 days as we wanted to go to different parts of Mexico. We had no problem booking the restaurents, we were allowed 2 which suited us. Lovely huge rooms walk in shower & nice bathroom. It is nice to walk around the grounds... More

The hotel was beautiful, although the staff are urged to push guests to sign up for a tour to sell timeshares. The rooms were exceptional, the mini bar was stocked daily and access was freely available to guests to restock should they need to. The complex had numerous facilities and the restaurants were marvellous. On check in when asked the... More

Was here in June 2013 for a week as part of a BA package. The hotel is certainly not 5* and probably not 4* but to obtain a flight a 1/4 of the way round the world and a week's all inclusive accommodation for under £900 is decent value. Was in block 21 which is is in the middle of... More

Only bad part of our four day trip. Making reservations for the restaurants. As I said we were there for four days so on our day one we were told no restaurant service today only buffet. Later we found out on your first night you are not allowed to go to the restaurants. Being that we were there for three... More

We've been to many different resorts in many different counties and this was the best one by far. The value for the money is outstandingly great. We've stayed at resorts that cost twice as much as this one and the overall service, food, drink and activities was nowhere near the high quaility that you get at the occidental grand xcaret....
