2/10 Poor

NASTY HUMIDITY SMELL, WE ALL WANT TO THROW UP!!!!
My group of 7 friends and I decided to stay here for a quick 3 days GIRLS getaway. We went to 3 different villas and they all smell terrible to humidity. it was impossible to stay in the rooms for more than a few seconds. Nasty to a point you cannot even imagine. staff recongized problem saying they have many complaints due to the poor condition of these underground rooms. even told us that they had checked all rooms to see which was more "acceptable" & other rooms are even worst. Too bad smell is not something we could post online so all potential guest could stay away. not even the staff could handle the smell. Treated without any respect whatsoever and made us feel like if we are little school girls who dont understand what a suposed luxury hotel should be. They want us to accept a room that they themselves couldnt even enter to show it to us! All they care is the Money and no hear in hospitality. Downgraded us to a 2 bedroom villa instead of a 3 bedroom villa which we paid for, because accoriding to them the villa we got was way more expensive and it was considered an upgrade due to location. we tried to get manager Raul realize that this isnt about the value they sell the rooms for, this is about we needing 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to fit the 7 of us. We couldnt care less where the room was located and he just cared about the fact that the room we got was more expensive in their price list. He squeezed us in the room adding 3 rollaway beds!

4/10 Fair

I booked this hotel for 2 night stay in beach villa. It offers beautiful landscape, water views and beach. My first impression was very positive as property is well designed and has a wow factor. During first evening I got severe food poisoning and spend sleepless night with upset stomach. In the morning I called for in room doctor and was given bunch of pills and a shot. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and I spend the second night equally sick. I called again doctor in early morning to for a second visit. Doctor visits were separately billed and hotel didn’t offer to cover any expenses. The only offer was to extend my stay at a discount. I already had a hotel reservation elsewhere so I left. Management didn’t offer any discounts, future offers or payment for medical bills that I incurred during my stay due to food poisoning from their in room dinning services. Very disappointing for a 5 star hotel. I expected more as my vacation was ruined completely.

10/10 Exceptional

this stay was excellent and it’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. The grounds were lovely, the staff made everything easy and perfect and were so friendly and accommodating. The food and restaurants were great, staff was wonderful , management made an effort to always introduce themselves. Having a villa concierge , they used WhatsApp to communicate with us with whatever we needed - reservations , on-site and offsite transportation, really any other requests . They even had bird control working the beach - hawks and handlers to keep the wild birds away from stealing food. Golf carts were always ready to pick you up, we never waited once. Food was pricey so make sure that’s anticipated as well as bringing cash for tips. Highly recommend Haab dinner. Highly recommend golfing at el camaleon if you’re a golfer. highly recommend visiting el Pueblito which has a few stores and casual restaurants on the property. La Fondita is amazing - tostadas and beverages at great prices. Servando was an awesome waiter who took great care of us. Talking to Victor at Koba at the golf course bar was a pleasure , we seemed to know a few of the same people and it was nice to have something in common. Xiomara, server at La Copa and also worked at Cello was an absolute delight.
