"Across from Flamingo Plaza, next to the flamboyant Royal, this modest budget-class property faces the same excellent beach as its neighbors, who charge much more for the privilege." Full review

While high-maintenance guests should probably avoid this place—uneven service, only two restaurants, bare-bone amenities—undemanding types requiring little more than a great view will find lots to like here.

"This unique hotel's public areas could be the entrance to a Disney "Maya Adventure" ride—stone block walls, replicas of Maya statues and stelae, murals of ancient myths and warriors, reliefs that could have been lifted from a Maya temple, stone archways (even in the sapphire-blue waterfall swimming pool)" Full review
