The hotel is in a convenient location, with a good view of the quiet pool and the beach/ocean. The rooms were not suitable for four people, quite dated with noisy and leaky fridge, and musty air conditioning. However, the staff were excellent, very accommodating, and went above and beyond to meet our needs in every department. The dining experience was very good, especially at the steak house and Italian restaurant.

I had a decent stay at the hotel with some positives and negatives to highlight. The rooms were comfortable even though they needed a couple of small repairs, and the location was great for exploring the strip and flea market. However, the service was a bit lacking with reluctance to communicate in English, and there were long wait times for the elevator. Overall, it was a basic experience with both good and disappointing aspects.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room we got was not suitable for a group of four, and the additional bed provided was uncomfortable. However, we did enjoy a pleasant view from the 9th floor. The staff, while largely friendly and accommodating, could sometimes push too hard for participation in activities. The location was excellent for enjoying the sun and accessing Cancun's attractions, although the hotel felt a bit small. The dining options were varied and satisfying for most guests. Overall, a mixed experience in terms of room comfort and service pushiness.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautiful but had issues like peeling paint and an old, noisy fridge. The service was a bit hit-and-miss, with some staff being amazing while others were less friendly. Although the location was good for nightlife, it was cramped in some areas. The dining experience offered a good selection but was not exceptional. The facilities were decent but lacked modern touches.
