Resort is close to Xel-Ha and Tulum ruins which we visited. So we each just ordered 2 of what kind of looked good and you'd at least get one you liked. But all the restaurant food was for the most part top notch. Kinda missed a dinner buffet for when we got the munchies. There's Japanese, Italian, Mexican, French, Steakhouse and a seafood. Drinks were great which included good liquors such as Johnny Walker Black, 1800 Anejo Tequila, Bacardi, Herradura, Flor De Cana, and more. You grab or ask for all the towels you need. Enjoyed the fact you dont need bracelets or room key exchanges to get towels. Beach is just a few steps away from main pool. Excellent entertainment team (Felix, Karen, Jonas, Hamlet, Guadalupe and Laura to name a few) with a good amount of activities ranging from water polo, beach volleyball, pool basketball and volleyball, etc. And 2 restaurants about 50 feet away from main pool. Basic food service also available right at the pool. Couple of bars right by main pool one being a swim-up. There are 3 total pools and the serene one is like a peaceful oasis of silence.

Even the activities pool always has soft island music and not any thumping boom boom music. You do get groups or snorkel tours but it does not affect the beach or the enjoyment.

There are also little clumps of reef you can see exotic fish at. The beach though public was amazing primarily because of the ability to snorkel with turtles just a few yards off shore. Everything was within short walking distance. Resort is not massive as many resorts in the area are that they require transportation to even get to dinner or go to the beach. Pros: The resort was great for relaxing and unwinding! My wife and I traveled with another couple.
