This is a budget friendly place to stay. I was traveling with my niece and we felt safe. The food is good enough to not go hungry, but by no means a five star restaurant. The snack bar offers drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, nachos, fries, cheeseburgers, and hotdogs. Although it is an older hotel, it was clean and we felt safe. The staff was friendly for the most part, there's always 1 or 2 that don't like their job, lol. Check in was fast and easy. There is an onsite convenience store which we did visit nightly for chips and such. There is a desk in the lobby where you can purchase tours, Minerva was very kind and knowledgeable, and we had no issues with the tours we bought. If you are going for the first time, xcaret is definitely a tour I recommend! There are so many negative reviews on this place that we almost didn't stay here, but I'm glad we did. The only REAL issue i had was the shower head, it sprays hard like a bunch of little needles on your back, lmao. There is a bus stop right across the street from the hotel that takes you to the night clubs or market 28. We were out every day, so for us, this hotel was just fine. And they do have a nice clean pool and towel service.
