Book?
Skip this property unless you prioritize the cenote over reliable service and fair billing.

Pros
The property itself is visually striking with well-maintained grounds and a striking natural cenote.
Rooms are generally spacious, clean and comfortable with a serene atmosphere.
Several staff members, including specific waiters and cleaners, are repeatedly praised for being friendly and attentive.
Bicycles are available for short local rides and the location allows walking access to nearby shops and restaurants.

Cons
Nickel-and-diming is constant, with extra charges for basic items like coffee, milk, shade and parking despite premium rates.
Multiple guests report theft from rooms and a complete lack of accountability or compensation from management.
Billing disputes, such as false minibar charges, leave visitors feeling deliberately overcharged.
Breakfast is limited and repetitive while overall food and drink prices are described as exorbitant.
Management is frequently unavailable or unresponsive, and promises of follow-up on complaints are routinely ignored.
Some facilities show maintenance issues including broken locks, leaks and missing insect screens.

Improvements
Install reliable in-room safes and commit to immediate investigations plus fair compensation when items go missing.
Train management to be reachable daily and to resolve issues without multi-day delays.
Remove petty charges for basics like coffee refills, parking and shade to restore trust.
Expand breakfast options and keep the menu rotating so guests are not eating the same two dishes daily.
Schedule regular maintenance checks to fix leaks, locks and screens before they affect arrivals.
Ensure staff are not pressured to solicit tips on top of the already-included service fee.
