It's a beautiful, luxurious and new hotel near the Edznà ruins. The staff was very attentive and friendly. It has a beautiful pool that's long enough to swim in and the area around it is nice to relax. Also, very pretty rooms. Ours had a balcony and a pretty view over the surrounding jungle. Downside is the A/C, it works great but the fan works much too hard. There's only one position "bajo" (which means low) and that results in wind and plenty of noise. In the restaurant, I think it's best to stick to the Mexican options (don't order sushi). They do sell Mexican wine by the glass. The papaya I had in my fresh fruit dish for breakfast wasn't very ripe.

Rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Very quiet. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 and here is why. It felt more like an rental instead of a hotel. I pretty much got a code to enter and that was it. I didnt get any info about tours or anything about the city. It was listed as VIP but I did not get any perks at all. The place is far from downtown but the area is quiet. You have to walk to find restaurants. It is also hard to find taxis around the area. At night time theres noone in the property so you are pretty much on your own. If you dont mind any of that then I do recommend as the place is unique and beautiful.
