“This beachfront resort in Puerto Morelos presents a mixed experience; while the grounds and pools are well-maintained and offer something for both families and adults, some find the dining inconsistent and beach access limited due to seaweed. Suites, all equipped with private hot tubs, ensure comfort, and the proximity to Cancun is a plus. In my opinion, it is a location that could work well for those prioritizing pool time and planned activities over immediate beach access.”
