First, it’s important to recognize the property has two sides. One side has hotel rooms managed/cleaned/maintained directly by the hotel itself, the other side is apartments managed/maintained by individual owners. I stayed on the apartment side and it was mostly fine, though absolutely unremarkable. If your staying on the apartment side (e.g. you found the rental on booking, Airbnb or similar), you should pay more attention to the reviews attached to that specific listing. If the owner of your apartment takes care of the place, you’ll be fine. Here’s are the pros and cons for the property itself. Pros - excellent service from beach bar staff - decently strong drinks for 4$ USD each - decent location (right on the beach; but far enough from the party zone at Punta Cancun to get some R&R) - good price Cons - Website advertises a pool bar; but I never saw it open, stocked or staffed - the food is basically a crime against humanity. Chicken and beef were always dry and tragically under seasoned. “Cheese” is the bright orange abomination most Americans call nacho cheese. Tortillas served without a hint of charring/browning. Stale tortilla chips. No beans anywhere. Have literally got better “Mexican” food from Taco Bell. - building is old. Fridge didn’t really ever get cold, hot water never really got hot. Dangerously outdated wiring that requires you to plug 10 different things into a single outlet. - definitely saw a few roaches and ghost ants were everywhere. Not lord of the flies level bad, but they’re present. For context, I saw maybe 2-3 roaches during a week long stay. - weirdly uncomfortable chairs everywhere. Beach/pool loungers were super thin; no padding, with hard plastic bars right where the butt sits. Chairs in the beach bar are wood; also no padding, and awkward design. Not a deal breaker but it doesn’t really make you want to get comfortable and spend a few hrs drinking in a rock hard chair. On the plus side, there was never any competition for a chair. - not many restaurants or other non-resort businesses nearby. Do yourself a favor and go into town for groceries. Otherwise, your only other option for late night munchies will be the convenience store 5 minute walk up the road. It’s called Oxxo, and it’s basically Mexico’s 7-11 but better because it sells real freshly made food at all hours. - security guards need to chill. After about 10/11, they routinely patrol the property to stare down any guests who happen to be enjoying a cool night in refreshing sea breeze. In short, if your favorite bar back home has a sports theme, a crowd of regulars, or is a hole in the wall, you’ll be perfectly happy here. However, if you’re the type of person who only eats out at restaurants with waiters, you might want to stop being so cheap and spend a little more money. For this price, you’re just not going to get a luxury experience. However, this is Mexico. When you have a good drink, a great view in a safe area and are surrounded by peop
