Absolutely amazing resort and staff. The overall care for the property and fine details makes this resort feel luxurious and next level. We stayed on the Impressions side which was well worth the extra upgrades. We loved playing pickle ball and the tennis lessons and instructor was so much fun! Yoga was amazing and Impressions guests get a special area which was beautiful! We loved it so much we will be retuning again next year! One negative side is the beach. It would be nice if as much care to the property was given to the beach area itself. It has so much potential! Read less

Worst experience I've ever had at any of the resorts at Playa Del Carmen. Beautiful grounds and friendly pool staff, ground keeping staff, and activity staff but it ends there. Upper management not good at all. Rooms smell like mildew, buffet is the only decent food but only open on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the time You're fighting to get into the other restaurants, you arrive at 6:00pm, that's the time they open, empty tables all over, they give you a buzzer and tell you that there are 15 people ahead of you, why are the tables empty??? two hrs later you get a table.

Very spacious and clean room, with everything you need for your vacation. From extra pillows if needed to sunscreen and shampoo etc. Wait times were long to get into the restaurants about an hour or two. Other then that it is an amazing place to stay with great food and entertainment.

Don’t waste your money. Bartenders get pissed within hours of the day a if you’re not standing in front of them they won’t go to the end of the bar. Food was edible but not good. Restaurants never filled all seats and claimed no more room. Bad staff crappy food and most of my group was sick with sinus issues by the second day.
