Three floors with a roof top terrace to enjoy sunrise & sunset

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (69)
"We loved staying here! For us, we don’t like the big touristy crowds so we opted to stay south. This place had so many positives. First location was perfect for us. We rented a golf cart so it was easy to go up north to visit the busy side which had really great swimming. But right near us we had the best restaurant Rancho Capricho (excellent breakfast lunch and dinner, cocktails coffee, great service etc.) a small grocery, a coffee bus, reggae bar with live music and several beach clubs. You...

Luxury condo rooftop pool with 360° ocean views

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (55)
"The master bedroom and the living room both overlook the ocean, so you are never far from the soothing sounds of waves hitting the beach. The condo is big, with lots of room to move around, play, cook, and relax. The kids had their own space and loved having a TV in their room. The restaurant downstairs had live music every evening that rose up to our windows and added to the relaxed feel of the place. Being south of the main business district, it is quiet except for traffic, and there is a...

Casa Roca Caribe - 2nd Floor Suite - 2 bedroom, 2 bath, Ocean Front Balcony

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (21)
"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...

Diego's spectacular lagoon view pent house in Cancun

4.0 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"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...

"Pro: Amazing Beaches and ocean view. Pool was very nice and clean.my room was in great condition and property was very clean. Breakfast was great! The highlight of food for me. I specially liked the Marco Polo on the Italian menu night. The rest of the food was ok. Con: Bar opens too late (11am) and closes too early (11:50pm). Expected better for an All Inclusive. Amenities are a limited to keep guests entertained which is challenging when the hotel is not really close to any other type of...
