Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praised the hotel for its excellent service, with staff being noted as extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. The cleanliness of the rooms and the overall environment received high marks as well.

Pros (+) The views are amazing. The complementary breakfast is good and filling. Would recommend.

Carole, Jan 2024
Pros (+) Every thing was beautifully curated yet felt very relaxed. Coppola wines were surprisingly good value
Cons (-) The beach has been washed away. It is no way near comparable to Tulum or even Hopkins. The whole area is very polluted unless it is in front of a resort where the sand is combed daily. Very sad to see so much rubbish
