4.0 star property

"While the property was clean it is getting old. The bathroom shower leaked onto the floor because the casinos were rusting and warped. Additionally, many of the elevators were out of service requiring a walk around and stairs, which because of arthritis I struggled to navigate. The staff was lovely, friendly and attentive, I particularly recommend Silvia in the spa for a massage, excellent! All the food offered in the restaurants was good, but not notable. One real complaint was the car...

"Enjoyed 4 nights/5 days this past week. Only had one rainy day but still had fun bar hopping and trying restaurants. The condo was perfect for the 4 of us. Cesar did a great job with check-in and answering questions (and extra towels). Kitchen had all we needed to make light meals. There is a keurig there (not shown in pictures). Lots of stairs, but it didn't hurt to walk off the food and drinks! Close to Kin Ha and of course The Joint. We love Punta Sur and the south side of the island....

"This was a celebration of 25 years of marriage and we it was magical. We did love where we stayed in the central part of the island and to be connected with the citizens of the island as opposed to other tourists. The balcony and the sound of the ocean and breezes into our place were simply breathtaking. The staff we worked with before arriving and during vacation were exemplary. The only think we would suggest since it is considered a luxury stay would be softer sheets/towels and better...

"We stayed here for the last two weeks of a seven week tour of the Yucatan. We needed a place to rest, enjoy the heat and prepare to come back home. This was ideal. The penthouse is exactly as shown in the pictures. The view is to die for and the breeze coming of the lagoon kept the place cool and fresh. We enjoyed long lazy afternoons by the pool and the proximity of movies, restaurants, shops etc. The staff at the complex kept the place immaculate and were always friendly and willing to try and...
