I did three different resorts at three different cities. Bacalar Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. My favorite resort was Cristalino by far. The front desk were so nice very kind great service and always smiling. The food was cultural and very delicious. The view you get while eating at the restaurant on site is the best! The pool was warm so when it was chilly it was great. The lagoon view from my room was great. The house keepers were great! They left my room spotless every time. The transportation was easy they order you a taxi, with in 5 to 10 minutes he was outside. The room service was fast and easy, your food was in your room with in 20 to 25 minutes. Close to the city but far enough for it to be peaceful and quite. I recommend this place 5 out of 5.

My friends and I enjoyed the hotel. I paid for a room for two people but another friend from Cancun joined us. When we arrived to the hotel they charged me extra 80 dls for the extra person with the same room. I asked for a bigger room but they didn’t do it. So we had to share the bathroom and two beds. I wish they had given us a bigger bed.

The rooms were way better than expected — cozy and nice. The A/C didn’t work properly, but overall, it was a good stay. The staff was friendly, though a bit bossy. If I may share some honest feedback, I felt overwhelmed by the number of rules and restrictions. They made us sign documents, followed up repeatedly via WhatsApp… I’m not sure what kind of guests they usually get that would justify this approach, but personally, I’m not used to being bossed around — and I didn’t enjoy that part at all.
