We spent 10 days here in August in a deluxe swim out room. Pros: - The staff are lovely and friendly. Everyone says hi to you as you are wandering around. - We loved the animals (coatis, raccoons, beautiful birds and butterflies, deer, cats) but you do need to keep your eye on your sliding door as they'll open it if it's not locked. - The rooms are huge. Bed is huge too and really comfy. Housekeeping was great and we had no complaints about the cleanliness. Aircon was great. - There was constant maintenance going on throughout the complex and it was all very well kept. - We live in Brighton so we're used to the smell of seaweed and the feel of pebbles so we loved the beach. It was nice and quiet and there were little pathways through the rocks to get to the sea. We had taken beach shoes but didn't use them. - We liked the buffet and the beach bar for food. Staff were lovely, there was always something to eat and the tacos were great. - Having a swim out was well worth it and we were right opposite the ojo de agua so could watch the lizards and turtles. Cons: The USB in the room didn't work and the air-conditioning is a bit noisy. - The pool water was boiling at all times and like stepping into a bath, which we hadn't expected after reading some previous reviews. - The a la carte restaurants were a bit of a disappointment. We are a pair of foodies and we really didn't enjoy the food in these. I also think the whole 'men must wear long trousers' thing is a bit silly. Overall, the whole feel was a bit dated and not worth it. - Cocktails were a bit hit and miss. You didn't always get what you ordered or it didn't taste anything like it should if you did! - Staff are keen to upsell as you wander around (massages etc) but it's not too much of a hard sell. A simple no was OK. The only pushy one was a photo guy who was a little creepy. - Entry into Cancun airport is a bit stressy. There's a mad scrum to get into a passport queue, then your bags are searched on the way in. It was much easier for departures. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend. It is very hot and humid in August so even when it rains its still nice. There wasn't a lot of seaweed either. The hotel felt quite empty but we liked that!
