I was at this resort with the wife, adult son, and his girlfriend for 7 days the first week of Dec of 2022 in two suites on the family side. Plenty of pool/beach areas for a little privacy, a lot canopy/umbrella shade for the pool or beach area if needed, the food was fantastic, always clean and well organized, and the staff was extremely friendly. The resort always cleaned the seaweed every morning and it looked cleaner by mid-afternoon compared to the resorts on either side. Plenty of evening entertainment offered by the resort. Not a big drinker and they were watered down a bit; but, 100% fine with me because I got to try all kinds of specialty drinks I don't normally order without getting too buzzed. Seemed this resort was more for couples and young adults compared to kids and teenagers.

Were there any activities going on throughout the day like paddleboarding or beach volleyball?
@mrgold3591 Жыл бұрын
@@ky24779 There was a net for beach volleyball; but, it was an older crowd compared to spring breakers. It looked like the water would have too choppy for paddle boarding. There was places to rent jet skis, para-sailing, and excursions for site seeing or snorkeling. We did excursions for reef snorkeling and a trip out to Chichen Itza with a swim in a underground cenotes. Just plan on a 8-12 hour day for excursions and give a day to rest in-between. Plenty of indoor/outdoor music, pool foam party, and free activities or shows at night to keep you busy. We had no reason to leave the resort other than the two excursions.

@@angelicalawson3502 My son booked the vacation and we paid him for our portion. Drinks were included and available at the beach, pool, and restaurants. We had around $100 in $1 bills for tips at the bar, restaurants, and room service. The drinks at restaurants were A LOT stronger compared to the beach/pool drinks. There is also drinks in the rooms and a person does knock on your door late afternoon to deliver fruit and alcohol a few times.

I have this booked already for 9 days in Feb. We have been going to this region every year since 2000 with 1 mistake and that was going to Punta Cana. We have stayed in Cozumel twice, Isla Mujeres twice (my fave thus far if you don't like all inclusive resorts), Riv. Maya, Cancun and Tulum. We stayed at the Valentin last April. The reason we chose this resort was the amazing reviews for the price and it's proximity to Isla Mujeres. We have never been to this area of Cancun. I am generally not a fan of modern Miami looking resorts while staying in Mexico. I prefer lush, tropical and Mexican style decor. Judging by your video, I would have to agree, the lobby area definitely needs something. They could start by adding some large tropical plants and a splash of color everywhere., perhaps some indoor and outdoor furniture and structures. All that being said, at the end of the day, it's the service, food, drink and cleanliness that matters most and this place, based on overall reviews scores high! Yes, it may not be a Secrets or Excellence caliber of hotel but then, I didn't pay a Secrets or Excellence price to stay here either.

I loved this resort!!! The French restaurant was the best! The steak house was not good. I don't even know if it was steak that we were served. We almost booked here again but decided to try the excellence Playa Mujeres instead. The butler didn't really do anything. Loved how quiet the resort was and that we could always find a bed on the beach. The infinity pool was freezing when we went in November. And when we were there the beach was always being cleaned of seaweed.

Since you are like me and you love your Miami sheek. Thiers a restraunt in the Bohemian restraunt district called Funk Garcias? Since you love Sugar in Miami this place will blow it away. Thiers 5 different restraunts all under the same owner. It is a god damn must!!!!!!!
