Rating8.1Adults OnlyAll rooms are junior suites or full suites — no standard rooms exist in this property. The baseline category at 430 sq ft is generous by Cancun standards. The key decision is view tier: courtyard views face the gardens, partial ocean views offer glimpses between buildings, and ocean-view rooms deliver unobstructed Caribbean sightlines. Elite Club categories (Junior Suite Ocean Front and Ocean View Suite) add exclusive lounge access, premium minibar, confirmed late checkout at 1 PM, and priority check-in — worth considering if those perks align with your travel style.

Courtyard
430 sq ft with a sofa or sofa bed and choice of super king or twin beds. Private balcony faces the resort gardens — quieter than ocean-side rooms. Good option if you're prioritizing sleep over views and plan to spend most time poolside.
Partial Ocean
Same 430 sq ft layout with glimpses of the Caribbean between buildings. Partial ocean views vary considerably depending on floor and building position — rooms on higher floors get meaningfully better angles. Request a high floor when booking.
Ocean
430 sq ft with direct ocean views from the balcony. Full-sized living area with sofa, double vanity, and choice of king or two full beds. The view upgrade is worth it if you're spending sunrise or sunset time on the balcony.
Ocean Front
Same 430 sq ft footprint as the standard junior suites, but positioned directly facing the sea with unobstructed ocean views. King bed only — no twin configuration. Elite Club extras include premium minibar, aromatherapy, exclusive breakfast restaurant access, and confirmed 1 PM late checkout. Honeymooners booking this category should inform the resort in advance for a welcome gift.
Ocean
At 646 sq ft, this is the largest room type on the property with full ocean views and all Elite Club benefits. King bed and an expanded living space with a dressing area. The size difference over the junior suites is noticeable — this is the right category for guests spending significant time in the room.
