Really good Spa Experience

The spa at the hotel is absolutely magnificent! I booked a two-hour treatment that included massages and hydrotherapy, and it was one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. The hydrotherapy area was beautifully designed, and the massage rooms were spacious and well-appointed. I left feeling rejuvenated and pampered.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Our stay was made perfect by the huge children's playing area that included slides, swings, and fun activities. My kids had an absolute blast! There's even a children's swimming area where they could splash around safely. This hotel is truly a wonderful spot for families with children.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet was impressive! The variety of fresh options available was fantastic, and everything tasted delicious. It was the perfect way to start our day. I particularly loved the fresh fruit selection and warm pastries. Sitting on the terrace overlooking the gardens while enjoying breakfast added to the experience.

This resort is truly a peaceful getaway not far from Mexico City, offering a beautifully maintained environment perfect for relaxation. The spa is top-notch and worth the visit alone, but there were some service hiccups and cleanliness issues that detracted from my experience. Overall, it's a lovely spot for unwinding, but don't expect flawless service.

7.0/10

I visited this resort after a four-year gap, and while the spa remains a standout feature, there are areas that need attention. The rooms are beautifully designed but lack necessary amenities that would elevate the experience. The dining options are decent but not exceptional, and the food doesn't leave a lasting impression. The service is helpful, but there's room for improvement in terms of overall guest experience. However, if you're looking for a relaxing getaway, the spa is worth it.
