Playa Amor

The air conditioning is only available from 9 PM to 6 AM. Outside of those hours, you’ll need to specifically request it—something the hotel leaves out of their description. Also, be aware of the tourist reserve tax. At check-in, we were told it was 120 pesos per day, but that rate only applies to foreign visitors. As a Mexican national (with valid ID presented), the correct charge should have been 60 pesos. In the end, we paid the accurate amount—60 pesos daily—directly at the entrance to the reserve, not through the hotel. Transparency matters. The hotel is located within the reserve, so there are specific guidelines we must follow. This may cause occasional inconvenience. Beach club and restaurant staff were excellent. Housekeeping was good. Unfortunately, the experience at reception—particularly with Victor—was disappointing. During check-in, he said refused to accompany us to our room, citing the heat outside as a reason to stay in the air-conditioned reception. While he eventually did assist us, the comment felt unprofessional, especially considering the hotel's stated daytime air conditioning restrictions.

Todo bien. El personal muy amable. El único inconveniente que tuvimos fue que no pudimos comer en los restaurantes por largas esperas de 3 horas o más. Teníamos el todo incluido pero solo comíamos en el bufete o comprábamos fuera. Por este motivo creo que no me quedaría de nuevo

Thank you for your hospitality, but I need to point out that while most of the staff at Monte Cristo was satisfactory but there were some outliers that were pretty bad. I also need to point out that the refrigerator was leaking water that created a flood, and some amenities are pretty old and outdated. Room service was rude and non-existent at all to the point that if we order something from room service, we were afraid that they would spit on our food. I understand that sometimes there are issues I just think Monte Cristo is over value and it doesn't live up to the expectations. Just too much bad stuff going on for a week vacation. Sadly, I have to point out that Monte Cristo and Pueblo Bonito group has dwindle into a run of the mill Hotel. The food was terrible!!!!! some staff rude and incompetent and outdated installations don't add up to a returning guest.!!
