I was pleasantly pleased with the hotel, the spacious, bright, not new but well-groomed, clean, friendly staff, all courtesy depends, as elsewhere, on the size of the tip, the more you give, the more they circle you. There are practically no our compatriots in the hotel. There are many emigrants from the former union who live in America and there rest. When I read about this in the reviews before the trip, I didn’t understand why it was necessary to pay attention to this in the review. Now I understand our emigrants are very intrusive, they want to tell someone how well they settled down, or brag, or really miss their Motherland, I still don’t I understood, but every day when we met at breakfast, lunch and dinner (How are you? However, we thought we would return to the hotel. Check-out is until 11-30, but check-in at the hotel starts at 16-00, supposedly they are cleaning the room all this time. However, while waiting for check-in at the hotel, you will be offered drinks. those luggage at the entrance to the hotel, there is a special hotel employee who is responsible for the luggage and after you receive the keys to the room, things will be delivered to you. you can enjoy all the benefits of the hotel... The meeting with the hotel guide was scheduled for the morning of the next day, so we had to get acquainted with the hotel ourselves))) We were settled on the fifth floor, everything was fine, only going out onto the balcony was very audible generator noise from the neighboring hotel. We closed the balcony... it was constantly tense in a room with a closed balcony. We asked to change the room with a surcharge, pointing out the noise. The guide said that there was no need for a surcharge here and they love us very much and they will decide everything. The next day after returning from the excursion, we they gave the same room only on the seventh floor and the balcony overlooked the same generator, but since it was 2 floors higher, the noise was less audible. We decided that we would not sit in the room anyway and did not change it anymore. And so about the hotel:
1) The territory of the hotel is very small, there is practically none.
2) There are cockroaches in the rooms, though they didn’t run in a crowd, but they crushed a couple of pieces.

3) In restaurants for dinner, you must pre-register two days in advance.
4) The hotel is densely populated with people around, although in principle there was enough space.
5) The beach strip is narrow, you can find free sunbeds, but the best ones are engaged from morning to evening.
6) After lunch, the sun begins to set somewhere behind the hotel and almost the entire beach strip in the afternoon is covered with a shadow from the hotel.
7) There is a jacuzzi but the water in it is hot 40 degrees and very chlorinated it is impossible to swim.
8) The hotel knows Russian at the level Hi How are you. There is nothing in Russian, channels, menus, in the spa they try very hard to sell you their services but they can’t do anything with the language. By the way, this applies to the entire resort, even in stores when you say rush stop trying to persuade you. They speak good English, French, Spanish native.
9) an oilcloth is not very comfortable to sleep on the mattress. There are no bathrobes and slippers in the room.
10) the antediluvian safe on the key, our friends from the next room had the key to our safe and ours to theirs. Maybe it happened, but they decided not to risk it.
From the pros:
1) Not a bad location of the hotel, almost everything is within walking distance.
2) Quiet, spacious.
3) Wi-Fi in the reception area in the hall is free
4) The sea is amazing turquoise.
5.2 pools near one animators work all day
6) waiters offer drinks throughout the territory and on the beach.
7) there are no drunks, small children do not run under your feet, you rest.
8) food 10 points drinks too
9) cleaning daily change of linen every three days towels daily, mini bar daily coffee maker in the room
10) In the evening, the show program is worthy of attention
11) The possibility of visiting the neighboring Rio Cancun hotel, we can not visit them. This is true for young people, they have discos in the evenings.
11) Safe in the room for free
12) The presence of balconies in all rooms.
13) Air conditioner + fan
14)On the floor ice maker
15) Room service 24 hours

16) the possibility of ordering food in the room.
17) iron and ironing board.
18) all A la Carte restaurants, all bars in the hotel are free, mini bar in the room too.
19) the absence of strangers in the hotel and on the beach.
P. S. In the evening for dinner there is a dress code for men; shorts, T-shirt, flip flops, sweatpants are not allowed, so think about your man having something to go to dinner : ) Ladies are also smart in evening dresses, but this is optional: ) In general, the hotel is worthy of attention! I recommend it if you decide to relax in Cancun! Have a nice stay!
