We stayed in a junior suite royal. The rooms are very thin but we had on our trip through Yucatan, before the seaside holiday, most hotels were also very badly soundproofed. This is probably due to the architecture. Those who wish to avoid the Maja suites can book. These are individually standing bungalows. The hotel offers a lot of variety and size of the specific service in the royal area You can also good retreat. …  read more

The inventory shows obvious signs of wear -Lampshades were broken, wall mirror falls down and is rusty, door fittings rusty... Cupboard door pinches. Patio door broken.

The mexicans have a terribly pleasant and friendly nature. Not only in the hotel, but also in the whole country. Nobody is importunate, everyone was friendly. All wishes are met. It speaks in the hotel english. The cleaning of the rooms every day was perfect, the mini bar was always reliable refilled. Even deep at night were still hallways and toilets cleaned, so long entertainment was offered. Really top! The bartender in the white sand lobby are always totally on the ball, advised a and fulfilled also here all wishes, the its is possible.Since 5 hotels in an area are, there is for everyone … read more

We were to the 3'. On the complex. We were this time very dissapointed. Unfortunately, before christmas the service very suffered, since many vacationers were there. Lunch in the pool-restaurant Azul, were the tables full of dirty dishes. As no table was free, we have to totally dirty table set. After half an hour was nothing happened. We and many other then the table itself cleared up with the lunch can start. Staff was here but served we were not. So we were not used to from the palladium.The choice is large and there is something for everyone. There the complex … read more

Mexico is a great destination and, in particular, the peninsula Yucatan is very safe and always worth a trip. For Europeans are akumal and Tulum very nice, while Cancun rather for the Americans is interesting. The hotel we would possibly. Book again, as long as with of the child care a clear improvement and you with complaints better handle.
