We just got back from this resort and had an AMAZING time. Here are some points to note: The swim-up family suite is not requestable. There are a small number of family suites throughout the resort - they probably didn't anticipate the demand for it. You can book a family suite, but you will be assigned any one of these suites and they can be on any floor including the ground floor swim-up jackpot. They had AT LEAST one wedding per day while we were there. The wedding music is very loud and is either going to be at the beach or at the Sky Bar. Ironically, the excellence and finest suites which are the most expensive and closest to the beach and facilities have front row seats to this noise. We managed fine as we turned on a white noise machine but I can imagine that if you want a "quiet" sleep, you will want to avoid the units closest to the beach and where the rooms are cheaper. If you are booked in the finest club swim-ups, your hallway is also the path that loud fun-loving wedding guests will use to get back from the beach at 11pm. The hotel should put a sign or a representative at the entrance back to the hotel to remind the wedding guests to respect the other guests as there are a lot of families with early bed times sleeping in that hallway of swim-ups. That being said, I wish there was a facility where guests could party to loud music as the wedding guests get to. I was always jealous. =) All restaurants were first come first serve but the waits were non-existant early and manageable early. Wait times were visible in the app so you didn't need to visit restaurants to find out. If you did have to wait, the notification that your table was coming up was via the app so you could go about enjoying the resort until that time. We did not like the Teppanyaki - the show was good but the food was lacking and it was definitely not Japanese flavored. Our favourite family restaurant was also the Spanish restaurant Tinto & Tapas which for some reason was never full so it seems like most guests are missing out in the chase of staples like steak and seafood. We felt that the French restaurant Le Petit Plaisir was the best of the bunch but it's adult only, and we felt this was better than the club restricted restaurant Dommo. Dommo is immediately adjacent to the Excellence Club Lounge and the air fragrance in there (and through much of the resort) can be overbearing. The fragrance in Dommo overtook much of the food and did not make for an enjoyable dining experience.

@TorreEdwards3 жыл бұрын
Yes, it's fantastic. I knew nothing about it and just stumbled upon it, very happy I did. And yes, they did renew, very happy. As far as Season 2, towards the end, that was very hard. Though thankfully it's not to that extreme (that we've seen, at least) in real life, it mirrors/echoes so much the anti-asian hate crime we see today. It's disgusting. I love that I'm an American, but the legacy of hate in this country can't be overstated, or forgotten.

@Leanna Thomas I visited this resort in January 2021. AquaWorld MX provides a huge list of excursions and they’re located on the beach adjacent to Las Dunas Restaurant. They have jet skis.. don’t remember seeing horseback riding but also on list, parasailing, snorkeling w/ underwater museum, scuba diving, Isla Mujeres Day trips, trips to Cenotes (with Mayan prepared meal), and many more excursions to chose from. (Isla Mujeres Snorkeling and Cenote excursions were worth it). AquaWorld MX partners with the resort so you may charge your excursions to your stay if you don’t want to carry cash around. Lalo and Ulysses were a great help planning out my excursions. I love the Top Flight Family Channel.. favorite travel channel on KZbin!
