Unprofessional customer Experience
• We mistakenly booked 6 nights instead of 7; returned two hours after checkout to find belongings removed. • Staff tried contacting us at 1:06 but stated the would remove items by 1:11 throwing them carelessly into bags. Passports and other valuables were scattered without care. • Manager was dismissive, interrupted us, and unapologetically said, “This is how we operate.” • Policy states they can charge for another night, but they claimed they couldn’t, forcing us to rebook a more expensive room online. • When we expressed our concerns, the manager said, “Go write a review; it doesn’t matter—we have a business to run.” • Rooms were okay, but the lack of professionalism and empathy overshadowed everything. If you stay here, don’t expect top-tier customer service or care for guests most of the staff didnt even greet us throughout the week.

Great location just far enough away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to walk everywhere. Plenty of good dining options and Mega grocery all within a 5-10 minute walk. Nice having full kitchen facility. Bed was comfy. Shower didn't have great pressure but was sufficient. Pool is much smaller than it looks in photos and very cold. Hard to go in past knees because it was so chilly. Only 4 loungers and 3 cabanas by the pool, so had to get there right away to get one. Music very loud by pool and people would come in and crank their music to try to be louder than what was playing. Definitely took away from the relaxing atmosphere. Also wish they enforced no smoking/vaping in the small pool area. Gross having peoples vaping clouds drifting over your face when trying to relax.

Condo problems are plenty
First of all, the staff are helpful and willing to do whatever they can. BUT,some things in these condos cannot be fixed or repaired. No hot water in any of the showers. Sewer smells everywhere around the property. Jaccuzi not in operation.Very hot in the hallways and the elevator.The rooftop pool is very nice, even though the water is very cold, at best.Poolside bar not in operation either. Sugar ants under the sink area as well.On our second month we started of having problems with Visa payment. Not Visa' s fault they say, nor is it the condos problem. Had to get cash in order to stay in December. Reception young lady was helpful so I could max out my withdrawal at the ATM and pay it over 3 days. Not what you want, or need, to do on a nice warm vacation.

The workers were really kind to us and hepful giving us advices about what to do in Cancun, they cleaned the room everyday they have limited parking spots, you have to pay for the ones on the street, the roof garden is really pretty and the pool is great, the check in process is really easy and they didnt ask for any deposit, In general I had a great experience at this place.

Lack of emergency response and care
My family got stuck in the elevator due to a power outage for almost an hour. They did not have a generator, and we had to call 911 since the company managing the elevator was not responding. Additionally, the property did not have the emergency key to the elevator. I had booked two rooms, but due to the emergency, we lost access to one of them. The staff did not have a master key or any means to open the room, and we had to wait approximately four hours to regain access after the elevator incident. Furthermore, we overheard during the interaction with the firemen that the property lacks many basic safety protocols. Besides the absence of a generator, there were no emergency lights, and the person at the reception did not have access to a master or emergency key. Despite all of this, we did not receive an apology or any form of compensation from the property.

Pros: Close to el fogon and don sirloin for eating options. Walkable to centro (eg 20 mins to Benito and 5th) Beautiful room, I looked out towards the coast and had a tree view and morning sun. great big bed, nice firm mattress. Was close to my chosen dive shop. Cons: Room not soundproofed - can hear outside, upstairs, next door and everything in the hallway Hallway is open to outdoors, traps heat and gets hotter than outside. Requested maintenance as (weird problem) the shower ONLY had HOT water but it wasn't fixed by the time I checked out.
