Was very surprised at how great this resort was. Service,food,and pool were all amazing.

Activity volley ball name Leo Leon, it was excellent

Participate in aqua aerobics with Leo Leon, an excellent class and very nice attention, highly recommended

Excellent service and food. They all need raises for their efforts! Rooms weren’t very fancy but they were pretty clean.

Activities: Aqua aerobics and beach soccer. Leo Leon was an excellent instructor and very fun. I enjoyed the activities very much.

Excellent attention from the animators and activities. Leo León gave excellent care in aquarebics, very attentive and accessible.
Charly also had excellent attention, a good entertainer, excellent treatment with the children and very good attention on his part.

Leo Leon, Nadia, Hugo, Sergio, and Beatriz are amazing. You have to come here. I love it. Pool volleyball and water polo were my favorite events. Excellent activities. Very family friendly. Mole Tacos is a fantastic restaurant. My favorite vacation.

I participated with Leo León, a kayak activity, I didn't know and the boy taught me and encouraged me to practice the Kayak activity, he explained in detail and helped me with all my doubts

My name is Alejandro and I 100% recommend the Kayak activity, the boy is super friendly and a good person

Overall pleasant. They gave us a talk to buy a membership but apparently if you don't accept it, the person who serves you (supervisor) gets upset, gets up from the chair and almost missed saying, well, leave. Superb attitude, the general attention of the staff very good.

Leo León was great. He was dressed as a pirate doing his job and took time to go get us a drink even though he wasn’t a waiter.
Hotel is nice and great atmosphere.

Beach volley ball very fun
Leo Leon and lore excellent volley ball
Players!!
Kids club very nice. Nancy, Kristina, Michelle all great with the kids.

Leo Léon very Nice Guy and good service pratice archery with freinds

Had a great time with my friends! Great service, good food, lots of fun activities during the day! Leo Leon had a great aquaaerobics class that super fun! The price was also super reasonable!

This place makes most everything difficult. All inclusive vacations should be relaxing, schedule free and easy.

Grounds-Out dated is okay but deteriorated is not. There is a lot of work needed. 1. Rooms were musty and seemed like a mold smell. Two friends moved rooms from this smell. I had to move rooms due to mosquitoes eating us alive. I had a one bedroom but don't bother with the spending extra cash on it, it's a little partition like a dojo. Sheets and towels scratchy. 2. Pool closes at 7p and no jacuzzi. Pool water was low so not sure about the filtration or cleaning. LOTS of kids so take note if you are looking for an adult like experience. Pool bar was great. Bartenders were fun and service was good. 4. Repairs needed on grounds with some safety concern areas, so watch your step.

Food-1. Snack Bar is okay-ish. A 10 yr old will like it. Questionable pizza, steamed hot dogs and stiff hamburgers. French fries were good. Nothing great here. 2. Buffet is okay with a decent variety. You can make this work. Not going to blow you away but its good. There can ve a long line to get in. 3. Fish house is good. My group seemed to like the dishes and staff was great. Mellow rice was my favorite and the shrimp tacos were excellent. 4. Mole breakfast was better than the buffet breakfast, but must have a premium wrist band to get in. Staff is stretched thin, so the service suffers. 5. Mole dinner was good but salty. Food was enjoyable and it was not crowded.

Restaurant Process- Reservations can only be made between 10a and 2p and a ticket must be submitted for the reservations. This system makes it difficult with a small group or even just two couples trying to eat together. They want reservation tickets from each room, so if you are trying to eat together or celebrate something you have to run around and collect tickets from everyone and try to submit for the same time slot and then they will tell you they can't accommodate. My group was 12 people so I'm not talking about 30 people. As we turned in our tickets they wanted to give us three different reservation times and there no way could we be at the same table. We show up and the place is near empty but we need to sit at different tables? Day two I tried to have a four person reservation. Couldn't accommodate that either and communication was very difficult. Just gave up. Everyday you stay after the first night you have to retrieve ticket from the front desk.

Alcohol-1. Premium bar good though lots of limitations. No madori or other basic alcohols to make a nice cocktail. So, not a complete bar. There is a giant bottle of Gray Goose on display but the best you can get is Absolute. Bartenders are great but but they are limited to what the got. This bar has real glasses which is nice. 2. Pool walk up bar. Bartenders are nice and quick. Only negative is they "wash" and reuse the plastic glasses. If you get a whisky, you may be tasting salt on the rim from the last drink. They do run out of the known alcohols line Malibu.

Room Beverages - Every day, the fridge is stocked with two waters, one coke, one diet coke, one orange Fanta, one Tecate and one Tecate light. Anything beyond this is a charge. So if you are two adults that would like a can of diet coke on the same day you have to pay for the second one. No replacements. Can't trade an orange Fanta out for a second coke. same with the beers.

Front Desk and Management- I know it's Mexico, and the language is Spanish but communication is almost impossible. It is real difficult to navigate when there are issues beyond basic check in or out. The manager offered to make it right with a massage 45 minutes before my departure, so not really sure that was sincere.

The rooms are dated and need a lot of work , our fridge was broken and the bathroom was rusty but on the other hand the staff works very hard to keep the rooms clean and my rooms were always spotless. There’s always food available and they do have variety of buffets. The specialty restaurants are awesome. We were able to eat at their gourmet Mexican, Italian and Grill House and we received excellent service and excellent dishes. I would also like to mention that this resort is visited by people arriving by tour bus from around México so the swimming pools and buffet restaurant can get crowded, we couldn’t find any available chairs by the pool or the beach the whole time we were there. The beach is great, we spent most of our time swimming, the water was warm and plenty of waves. Lastly, All the staff at this resort work extremely hard and they went above and beyond to make our stay great. Thank you to all of them 🙂

Activities are amazing for the children and lots to do. Staff have been excellent. Clean resort and food was great. Loved Leo Leon! Excellent dude. Thanks for the stay

Did not get a king size bed as we booked. Instead got two small beds. Key cards failed several times and once I went to front desk to deal with it, the receptionist 'Valerie' was extremely rude. I have never experienced treatment this poor by hotel staff before.
Speaking with another elderly couple on our floor they said they experienced the same from the same girl for the same key issue!!
I did not reply to Valerie but instead went straight to her manager who did not seem to take further action.
Older hotel, which needs some tlc but we found it clean. Nice and close to marina.
Overall not too bad but due to their lack of ability to reign in poor staff like Valerie or to show us that our concerns were properly addressed, or addressed at all...we will not be returning.
Too many other options out there.

Josymar and Oscar

We had dinner at Mole & Taco tonight at the Melia Resort.. Our servers Josymar and Oscar were absolutely wonderful! Attentive and were great with suggestions. The Grilled Ceaser Salad and Mahi Mahi are a must.. Thanks for great service and an awesome dinner!

Josyman at the Mola was great and his partner.....5 stars to them.
