The property is big/gorgeous. It is nestled in the jungle and has a very nice calm bay for a beach area. The check-in at the main lobby(not a private vip check-in) was okay, not the best as the reception is not very attentive. There could be 6 of them standing around doing w.e and you just stand there to wait for one to acknowledge you (they try not to make eye contact) It should be common courtesy to say "Hi, one moment please and we will be right with you" but no, they just ignore you until you ask or they are finally available.. This happened a couple of times we went to the main lobby reception for help. The rest of the property staff is very gracious and friendly. From the bellboys/ladies, pool staff, restaurant staff, bar staff, entertainment staff, housekeeping, gardeners(for coconuts), pro dive tour operators, and even the concierge/timeshare, everyone else was very friendly. Just the main lobby reception was lacking!... As for the VIP lounge, we werent able to reach the rep for a couple days as we missed each other, but when we did see Valeria she was very friendly! She allowed us to reserve all of the dinner reservations at once also. You can dine at the beach restaurant for breakfast and dinner buffet which is great just for the view. Food itself was as others stated a hit or miss, but we enjoyed the atmosphere nonetheless and it made up for it. Recommend doing tour (Tulum, cenote, snorkeling) with pro dive Dorian by beach restaurant. Tip them, they deserve it!
