The main reason I booked this hotel was for the large water slides for my older kids and without notice they were closed our entire visit. For this reason alone I would not have booked this resort. We were also told by many employees that it has been shut down for over a month. Also the food throughout the property was not very good. Additionally we were not given any instructions about this hotel upon checkin like there is an app to reserve meals so we missed out on all but one restaurant and had a very difficult time navigating the property. Very limited shuttle service and if you want your hotel cards you must listen to their pushy speech about buying into their members club. Lastly we had very limited water/hot water, many things broken throughout the room my husband luckily had a pocket screwdriver in his luggage to fix some things. Oh and we had a half drank soda in our fridge upon checkin. The rooms were nice but lacking hot water. The property is like a giant maze, food 1 maybe 2 stars not good, and if the main waterslides are closed without notice huge disappointment. Beach hear is extremely rocky many kids including mine got hurt warning!

Overall this is a really cool resort for families with kids which is unique being an eco resort. You feel like you are in the rainforest and have monkey, coatee, raccoons and agati visitors and lush greenery. The staff do a wonderful job of maintaining the rainforest and property and were so friendly. We thought the food was good at the buffet and one of the restaurants. The big issue was we didn't have hot water in our room and all I wanted at the end of the day was a hot shower. It also made showering the kids very difficult. The other thing is you can only send your kids to kids club for 2hrs/day. Not that we would send them every day but it wasn't long enough to do anything by the time you walked there and back. We would consider going back with our kids but likely not, however we are glad we did go. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much if we didn't have kids.

The grounds were fantastic nestled into the jungle with lots of tree coverage so you're not being baked on the sun. They had excellent live entertainment and shows every night. The food at La Laguna was as what you would expect from an average buffet but was still very tasty and the staff was allergy mindful of my youngest son who has a severe Tree nut allergy. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants on site, as well as the onsite entertainment and everything that the resort put forward to make our stay as best as possible. We really enjoyed the restaurants that were on site. Booking through Expedia gave us extra privileges to have concierge book our restaurants for us, so we did not have to wait up till midnight to put them ourselves online.

The resort is falling apart. We had heavy rain and the roof was leaking everywhere. Including the main buffet AND our room. Had to walk through puddles on the bathroom floors. There was mold in a lot of the communal areas especially the main buffet and bathrooms. 5 out of 8 people in our group were vomiting by the end of our stay. I think it was the buffet food. The a la carte restaurants were all great food but had very limited reservations. The employees were all working so hard but just couldn't keep up with all the issues, no fault of their own. If the resort invested in some major repairs and maintenance it could be really amazing. The large waterslides were also closed for maintenance the whole week but we only ever saw 1 person doing some painting. Highlights were all the wildlife including monkeys, turtles and iguanas. The shows every night were very good.

The property itself is in a very unique rain forest setting. You are surrounded by amazing vegetation and lots of animals. The beach is beautiful but rocky. They should have a separate area for vegan and vegetarian so that you can identify what food contains meat, seafood and cheese.

We chose this resort because our grandson wanted waterslides..however the bigger slide was damaged and not usable as was one of the restaurants..that we had booked in after we got to the resort. The main pool was really murky ...compared to the adult pool. The room was clean and grounds were well maintained by staff. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Some guests made the stay irritating but that's not the resorts fault. We would definitely book through Expedia..gave us a perk...as it allowed us to book al le carte restaurants upon check in ...rather than stay up till midnight and use the resorts app! That made us very happy! Santiago at the Taco Bar was an amazingly kind and friendly waiter...as was Michelle at concierge! Bellman were wonderful as well! The resort does need some repairs to roofs..as some floors are very slippery when it rains. All in all ...having not used Expedia for an international vacation ...I would do it again!

It was nice to be in the rain forest and have the animals all around. The beach was extremely rocky and hard to go into. A lot of amenities were closed such as the water slides which as big reason we booked, the snack bar wasn’t open, some a la cartes were closed and you had to book the day of at midnight or you couldn’t get a reservation which being on vacation with little kids I’m not up at that time and I’m not setting an alarm. The place was nice but not for me.

Traveling with 4 adults and 1 child 13 yrs old. Check-in took awhile, they only had 1 person working in the expedia line we were told to go to. They sat us down and gave us the whole talk about the resorts, alot of information with the intent to sell you timeshare or massages. Rooms were the only nice thing, king size with a twin bunk bed. We were told to visit expedia activity office for excursions. We tried for first 2 days and the office was closed. 3rd day office was open but no expedia. We were told we have to call and make a reservation first, which was not told when we arrived, so we booked excursion with air canada for catamaran cruise. Big mistake, hour drive from hotel, we were told no extra fees, they tried to charge $20 person there extra, argued and won, snorkeling was rushed maybe 20 mins total to see and swim 500m, kept hearing faster rapido constantly cant enjoy. Dropped us off at beach club, bad food buffet, dirty water beach not clear, had to sit for 3 hours before they came back. Took us to isle of mujeres for hour and half to shop, it was okay nothing special, same tourist stuff at each shop. Got back and couldnt find van to go back, no signage, no person knew where, after being the last van we found it and was crowded in a small van hot and uncomfortable no ac no legroom. The restaurants at the resort required reservations except international buffet which consistantly had bland food and desserts. You have to reserve restaurant at 12:01am....

The resort is beautiful. Our room was not the cleanest when we arrived but, hey, we were in a jungle. No hot water for the first 4 days and out shower flooded but we got things figured out. Lots to do on the property. Loved swimming in the cenote and the calmer pools. The main pool was a little crazy for us.
